    Why the Left Cried When Fidel Died




    The leftist, therefore, ultimately hates himself and lusts for his own self-extinction. And so he embarks on a totalitarian odyssey to shed himself of his own unwanted self and to relinquish and blur his individuality into a totalitarian collective and greater whole. My work, United in Hate, documents how this is precisely the tale of the fellow travelers – the political pilgrims who traveled (and continue to travel) to totalitarian communist and Islamic hells searching for their utopian paradises.

    This phenomenon is also connected to the leftist’s own personal psychological and social handicaps and his resulting yearning to belong and fit in. Here we behold the process of negative identification, which the historian David Potter has succinctly crystallized, whereby a person who has failed to identify positively with his own environment subjugates his individuality to a powerful, authoritarian entity, through which he vicariously experiences a feeling of power and purpose. In other words, the leftist is desperately motivated by the will to power; he is searching for the power that will help him counteract the powerlessness that he feels in his own life.

    For leftists, therefore, Castro represents the totalitarian display of power through which they can not only recapture a feeling of personal power, but can also vicariously express their own personal totalitarian urges.

    heavily psychoanalytical based article you got there. To expound upon what the writer said, Castro was an embodiment of the cult of personality. The Left turned a blind eye to all of Castro's atrocities and swallowed every piece of propaganda coming out of Havana and elsewhere saying how great their healthcare and educational system were.
