People on the Left forgo logic and slavishly follow and obey their anointed leaders. Witness what happened in Russia with Lenin and Stalin, China with Mao, Korea with Kim and now America with Obama. Dangerous flaw in the psychology of Leftists.
I;m glad you used the word “slavishly”, since the 99% who hated the Communists were indeed slaves under it. Just because 1% of the population is leftist and brought Communists to power doesn’t imply anything at all about the attitudes of the enslaved majority.
