They all think they'll be poets or something similar. They'll be down in the mine with the rest of us.

Well technically as true believers they'll be up against the wall right after they've 'won'.

But you forget- they're true believers who know the true believers will be up against the wall, but they also go past 'truly believe' and go to 'they cannot possibly fathom a result of the revolution that doesn't end with them, personally, as the dictator in complete power. They don't fear Stalin taking power in their communist world because in their mind, there could be an infinite infinity of multiverses, including ones created from us positing this existence, and in their mind every single one of those multiverses end with them becoming Stalin.
