The conservative mind is obsessed with hierarchy and conformity. They fall in line behind authoritarians because that's the very core of their ideology.
They spout lines about freedom, but the only freedom they're interested in, is the freedom to force others to obey. They fall in line via their very nature.
The left, in general, does not have these hierarchical impulses. The left is all about personal freedom to be who and what you want, while folding into society at large.
This means that the left is often extremely disorganized.
This is often not helped by the authoritarians working to inject chaos into, or stamp down on, left wing organizations.
