This comment seems right to me, but maybe it’s misunderstanding the OP? I’d imagine that the OP was talking about “actual socialism (communism)” and not “derogatory word US libertarians use for left-ish policy”? There are definitely some people sympathizing with “actual socialism (communism).”
I mean, probably a lot of LWers are libertarians but I’d hope they don’t consider politics an easy enough issue where mainstream disagreeing views without an obviously atrocious track record are basically “backwards in terms of moral progress.”

I don’t think those are numerous enough for anyone to notice.
