All these ideological movements such as communism, inquisition or social justice warriors subserve the individual to the collective struggle, usually by force. Who loves to be spoon fed propaganda or cancelled "for the success of the greater cause"? They attack their own people even more viciously than the others for crimes such as original thinking which is nothing else than heresy to them. They reject the very basis of debate and logic-based reasoning, preferring to spread stories with emotional appeal and moral judgements instead. They cause a chilling effect on society, people live in fear of being persecuted for any reason, learn to be docile and lack the courage to change anything.
