Communists, all along the spectrum of social justice warriors, want, "equality" as their goal in society. They can't stand that anyone has more in life than anybody else. That you can earn more by working harder is anathema to their world view and even in interpersonal relationships they want control.
They hate that some people have an advantage by virtue of being attractive, or kind, or funny. The ugly and unpleasant need to be made to feel uplifted but, since that is not viable, the only option is to bring down those that do have gifts. The equalization idea extends to try to make the abnormal (LGBTQ) acceptable.
My husbands ancestor’swere stoned to death at the Salem Witch Trials. Massachusetts has been a bit crazy for centuries I doubt things will ever get better.
