I know none of us who knows how leftists really are surprised by this but the true insidiousness of commies can't be explained through simple historical examples or even maths. It's the idea that they present themselves as your friends but are some of the most psychologically abusive people on the planet. All ideologues do this to some degree for the sake of conversion attempts but the abuse they heap on already obviously mentally ill people is pretty vile.
The fact that they do openly go after people with mental problems and children in general and will go after them as enemies tell you an awful lot about them and their interpersonal relationships. We have growing mountains of evidence of what they do to people and they still have the gall to larp as the good guys.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.
