I keep hearing people say that the far-left is significantly less organised, more fragmented than the far-right. Why is that? (And to be clear: I’m asking about the far-left, not just the left in general (though they may be linked)

    The far right is funded by deep pockets and is not attacked by the establishment Republicans.

    If the Democratic Party establishment would see the left as an asset rather than a threat then things might change.

      Well, that’s the thing about the Democratic Party. They actually aren’t left of center. They are performatively left on a few social issues when it’s convenient.

        The Democratic Party is at left as it can be without touching underlying capitalist structure, which is to say, it is not properly left at all.
