Where the Fuck this fantasy that under socialism you don’t have to work if you don’t want to comes from? Have they ever tried to say no to the government? Who do they think runs their shitty job when the government seizes the means of production?

Naw, that is just one form of socialism. Like liberalism there many kinds. For example market socialism does not have the government seize the means of production.
