Not really. I often make posts pushing for socialist revolution on this site, but I sure as hell don't expect it to happen.

Nah.If you push for something, if you demand for something, is that you want that to happen.If you want something to happen, then you create an expectation that it may happen, no matter how big or small that expectation is.If you push for a socialist revolution, it means that you want one to happen.If you want one to happen, you have an expectation, a hope, that it will eventually happen, no matter how small that chance is, or how small your expectation for that to happen is.

What you are saying and what you mean is, is to keep the expectations in check.Expectations will be there regardless, but depending on how big they are, you be more dissapointed, or less dissapointed.But the expectation will be there regardless.

Wanting something to happen is not the same as expecting it. It depends on what your goals are in demanding it, some people demand things because they believe that it will come with an eventual realization of their goals. Other people demand things not because they think it will happen, but because their moral compass obligates them to do so.
