Because politics actually matter, and for every person LARPIng about trying to make star trek a reality, is one less person working towards achievable goals making an actual difference in our actual systems. If all of the commies stopped preparing for the revolution and started voting and being proactive in their local party politics, they'd probably be surprised how much they could get done.
It does though. The democracies are functional, people vote, and the most votes choose the government. You obviously wouldn't want to run as the stateless global communism party, because you would get zero votes, because no one wants that system. And my shit is your shit. Unless you're prepared for societal collapse, you will want to work in the system. And frankly, the power vacuum arriving from this revolution will be filled by the right wing. They are armed, trained and ready to go.
