Funny, I see conservatives as the repressive ones. Sure, there have been authoritarian regimes, both on the left and the right. But I don't think you can call Sweden, about as close to a socialist state as you can get, repressive. Northern Europe is described as wefare-states, and they are not repressive at all. Conservatives, on the other hand, want to tell:

a woman what she can do with her own body
what gender you can marry
who you can have sex with
when you can pull the plug on your wife who is in a consistent vegative state
you that you have to continue to live when you don't want to
you that you are not allowed to buy sex toys
you that you can't get high
you that you can legally discriminate against people
you that you have to pray in school (to their god)

Those are a lot of individual freedoms that they want to supress.
