See Ken Loach’s Land & Freedom on how factionalism and in-fighting within the Republican forces in the Spanish Civil war allowed the fascist Junta to win.
Are we talking about actual leftist infighting, or mistaking liberals for the left and calling it infighting?
Also I'm almost certain that the actual left infights far less than the right. The only reason two Trump administrations hasn't started the literal fourth reich yet is because they infight so hard that they can't stick to any plan.
centrists say everything is all progressives fault. But also that progressives will never be allowed to have any place of authority in the party. They'd sooner court republicans. So they will lose the youth vote for good and go extinct, assuming the country survives their idiocy at all.
Centrists will blend quietly into the right the way that Homer backs his way into a hedge.
Liberals, as in advocates for liberalism and not a liberal party (which doesn't even exist in the USA), are the entire left of the USA.
Why can't we have Leftist Unity? The fucking Rightists can agree on hating "The Libz"
Why can't we agree on hating cons? Sadly I can't even get Leftist factions to agree on "LGBT Rights are based and cool", because Left-Learning TERFs exist and I've had Tankies pull "LGBT Rights is racist because it means forcing Western Ideals where they don't belong" crap on me.
Because being a leftist just isnt as fun when you dont hate everyone and everything. Hate is fun
We can't even use the best slurs because we're too considerate.
booba
Half the replies in this thread: so true bestie, except fuck those guys for not being left enough
Reminder to all my homies: If any of ya'll think trans rights are a bargaining chip, you aint leftist enough for me!
Ok but who thinks that, I've not seen anything about that anywhere on lemmy, so it must not be very common
I seriously wish leftist unity was more of a thing. And no, liberals, I’m not talking about you.
Why do leftists adopt all the most horrible traits of trump supporters?
Political polarization is a weapon, heard of the phrase "divide and conquer" They know how to churn up, scramble and disempower those on the side of anti-domination And that's why all Kulaks will get the bullet and the red empire must extinguish all alternative off the face of this planet and every other planet around all stars
Cue the speech at the end of Team America World Police
So peace was never an option
