They fantasise about living under a totalitarian fascist dictatorship and not being one of the nameless people killed off-camera during the revolution. They envision themselves as plucky resistance fighters popping out everyday from their hidden bunker to secure their doses of hormones and spray paint with their trusty baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire.

In truth the moment Robohitler takes over they “transition” back and take up a position in the state machinery like good little NPCs.

Again- these people fantasize about living under a totalitarian fascist dictatorship because they go past "truly believe" and run screaming to "they cannot possibly fathom any result that is not them, personally, getting to be the dictator." They are fine with Stalinism because to that person, they have no doubt in their mind you can make an infinite multiverse, including multiverses created just by positing it, and literally none of them would have a result that isn't them, personally, getting to be Stalin.

Remind me what Che Guevara did to all the people that helped him get in power? He killed them, right?

Do these people not know that's what will happen to them?

Again, that's the point. These people DO know what Che Guevara did to the people who helped him get in power.

It's just that these people are so arrogant, so narcissistic, believe they're so fucking special and perfect, that they truly believe that when it ends, THEY will be Che Guevara, not one of the people getting killed for him.

not one of the people getting killed by him.

FTFY.

Good catch, but it's the same point: If you end up the person in power who gets to kill the useful idiots, you don't have to worry about useful idiots being killed by the person in power.
