I find the, let's be honest, sectarianism, of the 'far left' rather annoying, to put it mildly. In times like these I think the important and crucial parameter, is opposition to the war and stopping it escalating into WW3, also know as nuclear Armageddon. What could possibly be more important than avoiding that kind of outcome?
This is also why I think the left/liberals made a huge tactical error in not supporting Donald Trump's desire to improve relations with Russia (because he wanted them onside for th great coming conflic with China) and not push them too far into the arms of China.
Not only that, the left could have reached out to Trump's supporters too and attempted to find common ground with them on a variety of economic issues. Like fixing the US first, then the world! Then there was the growing sceptism many on the right/conservatives have with the 'liberal' media. Surely the 'left' share that scepticism? Another lost opportunity.
Anyway, realistically, in the US, it's no longer even about the 'left' and the 'right' anymore; it's about 'up' and 'down'. The left are strategically inept, typified by the Corbyn experiment. They are also irritatingly pedantic and dogmatic to an extraordinary extent, inflexible and narrow-minded. Fundamentally they should adopt a truce strategy. Save the pathetic infighting for the future and instead work for the overthrow of the ruling class as the first priority. In fact the left are so hopeless, one wonders whether they are all infiltrated by Deep State agents, like in Russia before the Revolution.
