The hints that they're cute little blue analogies for the Soviets are everywhere. They live and work communally and don't use money, their leader wears red clothes and has a Karl Marx beard, and "Brainy" looks like Trotsky and keeps questioning authority and then getting "exiled" (thrown out of Smurfville). It's all so OBVIOUS!

So the Ruskies are infiltrating our cartoons?!!!!!
Now that you have pointed it out, YES, IT IS SO BLATANTLY OBVIOUS!
And clearly the purple Teletubby was introduced to serve as a distraction!
Thank you Puddin for your vigilance!!!
