→Internecine warfare
The far left is noted for internecine war. Due to its anti-democratic, [[technocrat]]ic and [[elitist]] ideals, competition within the far left to claim the mantle as the [[Revolutionary vanguard|vanguard of the revolutionary elite]] leads them to label each other, and anyone who opposes their singular group, as "[[fascist]]" or "[[right wing]]."<ref>[http://www.writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/50s/schlesinger-notrightleft.html Not Right, Not Left, But a Vital Center], [[Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.]], ''New York Times Magazine'', April 4, 1948.</ref>

Sectarian disputes are common among far leftist groups. Usually the larger group will claim the label as preeminent among [[leftist]]s; as competing groups go in search of [[moderate]]s, because of their movement right-ward toward the [[center]] they are labeled [[Nazi]], fascist, and [[racist]] by the dominant far left group. This has the effect of driving out some members of the competing group, and a chilling effect on new recruits. The hopes is to enlarge the base of the dominant group.

Far leftists oppose [[free speech]], [[gun rights]], [[freedom of religion]], fair elections and [[sovereignty]]. Fundamentally, they oppose [[democracy]] and [[human rights]].
