This is generally what has happened in the history of communist states.

All the politically passionate, artists and eccentrics who are the loudest voices in pushing the revolution are the first up against the wall when the revolution actually comes.

All states are really only interested in the ordinary, average people who are actually productive an keep society working once they are in power. Everyone else is disposable depending on what they think they can get away with.

That is correct. The artists who advocated for communism and brought it into reality ended up being killed. Karma. I’m still against communism, but hey, there is some silver lining in these atrocities.
