    The endless purity tests of what a true leftist is one of the main reasons they make no real change in the world.

    The constant fighting over doctrinal purity consumes so much time, energy and mind space there is nothing left for actual change.

      Laughable you’d level this as a criticism of the left considering MAGA republicans are waging all out war for control of the conservative party in America against more traditional republicans.

        Why is it laughable? It seems pretty obvious that one of the main reasons why conservatives are still successful in the US is that they’re able to unite much more than the left. I’m too lazy to go find sources, but there are multiple sociological studies that confirmed this - despite craziness like Trump and before that Tea party and other shit, the left has been considerably more fragmented the whole time.
