You Know Who the Left Hates More Than Anyone Else?

By necessity, every political view that isn't literally fascism has to unite under a single banner.
It's a wider range of beliefs and should certainly at least be split into moderates and progressives, but we can't afford that as long as forty percent of the country is literally fucking insane.

There is indeed a lot of in-fighting between lefists.
A lot of it has to do with "you're too left" vs "you're not left enough", I think.
So yes, if AOC says something that some think isn't "left enough", they'll attack her. Which will then lead other leftist attacking those for attacking AOC.

The left doesn't hate the left. Centrists that fancy themselves the left hate the left. And the left hates the neoliberals who are effectively lying about their commitment to leftist policies.
Edit: Picture has been deleted by OP so that's that
Like I don't want to start anything I am just curious but why are Anarchist with Trumpsters, "libertarians" and Republicans on that picture, as if they weren't leftist?

anarchists outside the ring? maybe it's because i'm from spain, but they generally fell under the broad coalition of the left/anti-fascists here
Unfortunately, many people (especially people with hardline views on any issue) allow perfect to be the enemy of good.
Lol, this is funny because especially from the US "the left" is everything form centre/centre-right to actual left ideals.
It's not infighting when you have dozens of points along the spectrum.

Can't really add to this. For better or worse, we need to stick together.
Probably possible to find people on the left that don't like gay marriage, like the SWP in the US.
yeah, intersectionality has to be factored in the differences here too
Nah I'm pretty sure its Mitch Mcconnell. Trump's bad but bitch Mitch orchestrated all the bullshit he was able to pull off.
Why? Well look at who is arguing. You answered your own question, fam.
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter
yeah the overton window in the states is super tilted to the right
The gulf between someone like me who's a Democratic Socialist and a classical neoliberal Democrat like Nancy Pelosi is extremely vast. And yet we're both considered "the radical left." I'm a hell of a lot more radical lol
Their position is:
Whereas my position would be more like:
It's so vast in difference that we shouldn't be lumped into the same category. I only vote for Democrats because they are our best chance against Republicans right now, not because they represent my political philosolhy.
Their position is:
- Free Market Capitalism as much as possible, with private property, private capital and private profits.
- Government relying on private contractors whenever possible
- Heavier governmental regulations on Capitalism, in the interest of Public Safety.
- Heavier taxation on Capitalism, in the interest of social programs for the poor.
Whereas my position would be more like:
- Government ownership for major industries, utilities, and transportation systems, personal ownership for personal property, homes, and small businesses. Free market capitalism significantly diminished.
- Complete governmental regulation of the economy, but not centrally planned
- Strict limits on the accumulation of private property and capitalism
- Extensive social services and programs
