Communists don't fear freedom per se... The whole point of Communism (when you get down to it) is equality. You cannot have both equality and freedom... They are either sides of the see saw...
Communists (like the Soviets and the Chinese) believe that personal liberty must take a back seat to the "betterment of all".
As such anyone who steps out of line must be squashed for the greater good.
(the US is pretty much the opposite of this thinking... Freedom for all at the expense of many)
