What is it about the modern Left that reliably sides with theocratic fascist states against democracies? "Left" is kind of vague because it includes quite a large spectrum of folk but to varying degrees the following remarks do apply to a very large portion of it. A huge part of the left adopted models based on socialism and communism. The last twenty years the practical application of these ideologies in delivering either freedom or material security has been thoroughly discredited by events. Much of the left is in denial about this, and that's not surprising since so many leftists invested themselves in these ideologies in various ways. Many leftists thus feel abandoned by the modern world - which is dedicated to reason and democracy - and are fooled by the often socialist and anti-colonialist sounding rhetoric of the theocratic fascists and mistakenly support them as allies. The denial by a large part of the left can been seen in its blindness towards the anti-reason and anti-democratic stance of Iranian, Saddamite, Syrian, Palestinian, etc, rulers.
