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 chilling effect of driving members out of the competing group, and a dampening effect on new recruits. The hope is to enlarge the base of the dominant group. | Sectarian disputes are common among far leftist groups.
