The answer for 99% of us is that we are losers -- in the sense of being on the losing side of our society, outcasts, etc. -- or are so deeply scarred from the memory of being losers that we still mainly identify with that group, and we view communism as being the best way to eventually stop losing -- though some of us believe that for flimsy reasons.
The people who disagree with us on Lemmy are, like us, simply supporting the side that they believe will ultimately benefit them the most, happily signing on to ridiculous fables to help their case rhetorically, but fundamentally being motivated more by wanting to feel secure in their coding job or whatever the fuck they are doing.
Do not trust the judgement of anyone who makes reference to you or themselves being "special" (even by implication) in connection to politics. This is not just idealist but fully and sincerely mythological thinking on par with the bullshit fascists imagine as their Master People's origin story.
if anything the history of communist and anarchist and other leftist movements has been eating shit, constantly.
now, in theory, we only need one good win to turn the tables and force the liberals to start eating shit instead. unfortunately we squandered the first one and ate shit yet again. so yeah, we're losers and shit-eaters, but goddamn atleast we understand this, unlike the libs who suck on the boot and refuse to even acknowledge this.
The goal of socialists is to stop eating shit, but that doesn't save them from the fact that they've personally been eating shit for more than a decade before they come around, and trying not to lose is very different from not losing.
Bootlicking libs are usually more comfortable and therefore not eating as much shit, however hard they rim the cops and oligarchs who couldn't care less if they lived or died.
