generally i’m just like “the future of all of us including me hinges on socialism because capitalism will kill all of us” or for me “i want to fight for justice and not be an oppressor so people dont rightfully kill me” so it’s very easy to apply it selfishly

Yeah I want to have my life improve as well, which will not be possible under capitalism because my problems are inherently tied to capitalism itself (lack of unemployment due to the chaotic nature of job application and lack of justice due to police just not being interested in my case): A pretty selfish motivation for wanting to uphold socialism (though I have more noble reasons as well).
