Your interpretation of Stalin’s interpretation of Lenin’s interpretation of Engels’ interpretation of Marx’s unproven conjecture is not a scientific law.

“Socialism is the goal, communism is the way to reach it” is actually what a lot of MLs seem to secretly believe in the sense that they want to use the appeal of communism to motivate people to create socialism. I have seen very little interest from them in actually building communism.

There are different kinds of ancaps. Objectivists are also in that category.

Sure but they also believe this is in line with human nature. And they trust their leadership to not be self-interested.

They expect individuals to sacrifice their self-interest for the nation, and expect leaders to voluntarily do what is in the interest of the nation.
