[dude with glasses in a communist t-shirt, arguing] I’m the only leftist here, your opinions are TRASH
[dude holding a theory book on smug, arguing] Read theory you losers, you’re all WRONG
[dude in an anarchist hoodie, arguing] Nuh-uh, I’m the only leftist here, you’re SHITLIBS
[the three dudes are now caught in a cartoon fight, glasses gone flying, punches everywhere, while a firing squad of nazis are targeting them with rifles]
[a confused nazi asks] Why… why are they still arguing?

Left unity and right unity are both mythical unicorns that do not exist except for momentary periods in history.
Even amongst various “leninist” ideologies there are significant strategic differences and different ideas for what socialism itself looks like.
There are like, 100s of different Nazi, fascist, and Christian-Nationalist groups in the US. They don’t get along either, even if their ideologies have considerable overlap.
Both sides will temporarily put aside their differences to have protests, rallys, etc, but those are temporary.
It’s enough to make me suspect that at least SOME of that infighting is astroturfing.
Letting perfection be the enemy of “not fascist” is a very easy tactic to sell, because there are legitimate grievances. But this kind of infighting benefits the far right more than anyone.
