    Every fascist regime in history has gained power in part because the left was too busy infighting to resist.

      True, but your comment seems to ignore the fact that leftism is the only resistance to fascism. Liberalism and civility politics have historically paved the way for fascism, and the same pattern is proving true in the modern era.

      We need leftist solidarity to defeat the evils of liberalism and fascism.

        It gets all muddled depending on how you define the borders of the various political movements, but for the purposes of my previous comment the left is anything that isn’t the fascist right. We don’t have the luxury of adding any personal grievances. We all fight fascism together or we all go down.
