Quiet, you're talking about real Communism and not Tumblr Tankies and how their core belief of communism is "Karl Marx had a long white beard, Santa Claus has a long white beard- ergo, communism is literally Santa Claus."

It's more "I don't wanna work and get free stuff" kind of communism when in real life it's more like "you work for benefit of state without adequate pay and if you don't work we let you freeze to death in crappy apartment, and maybe we let you do that if you do work too."

I'm more a fan of the Kabutz style small scale "communism" but I very much doubt one of these people is going to be happy at the prospect of growing their own food since it requires work.

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.
