The Left always appeals to all that is base in the human character. The reason is not hard to fathom.
While there are a few demagogues who simply exploit the base tendencies, most of those on the Left are compulsion driven. Hating the reality that we are all different--and hence each responsible for our own performance--they seek fantasy driven wish lists, that deny reality--and they do so with a fervor that says much about the neurotic compulsions that substitute for human reason.
For example, see Compulsion For Uniformity; or The Greatest Mischief Ever Wrought.

Bravo! You contribution to the subject is most appreciated!
I often refer to the Left as living in the fantasy world of the Unicorn Farm. It is the fantasy of Utopia, devoid of reality that keeps them in bondage on the farm I call the Unicorn Farm. The Unicorn Farm is a slave plantation. They are slaves to their own human vices that the Left exploits.
