    wanting poor people around you to have a better life so they’re not homeless, they’re healthier, they’re happier so you in turn arent forced to witness the immiseration, etc etc etc.

    also, wanting accessible cheap housing for you or your kids could be another reason.

    there’s plenty of selfish reasons for wanting communism.

      And plenty of collectivist reasons too, but that is a given considering how even the stereotype of communism is collectivism to the extreme.
