What scares the Left?  Commentary on the top five things that the Left fears: 

\\n

Power is the ultimate pursuit of the left.  Follow the Left\'s ideology to its logical conclusion and you have a totalitarian state not unlike the one imagined by Orwell in his novel, 1984. It stands to reason then, that their greatest fear is not being in control-- of everyone and everything.  The Left is highly motivated by fear, and they fear a world in which they are not in control they will be victimized by those who are.  This is driven by the Marxist belief that all power imbalances between people result in an oppressor/oppressed relationship.

\\n

For the Left to realize their totalitarian dreams, they know they cannot have any competing ideologies.  Objective morality, like objective reality acts as a sociological insulation against the kinds of amoral and even immoral behaviors that are necessary for totalitarianism to gain and maintain control of the populace. Just like the pigs in Orwell\'s Animal Farm needed to change the laws of the farm to suit their needs and to give the appearance that they were not above the law, so too does the Left need an ever-changing sense of morality that suits the needs of the elite among them.

\\n

Independent thinkers question the intentions of others, and have a stubborn reliance on facts when it comes to making important decisions for themselves and their loved ones.  The leftist elite cannot have anyone questioning their decisions, much less refusing to go along with them.  To paraphrase the fascists-- Nothing outside the collective, everything inside the collective, and nothing against the collective. All wants and needs must align with those of the collective. We see this taken to its logical extreme in Ayn Rand\'s Atlas Shrugged, when society completely collapses without the services of those who refuse to sacrifice their own self-interest to an ungrateful society that takes them for granted.
