Sectarian disputes are common among far leftist groups. Usually the larger group will claim the label as preeminent among [[leftist]]s; when competing groups move right-ward toward the [[center]] in search of [[moderate]]s, they are labeled [[Nazi]], fascist, and [[racist]] by the dominant far left group. This has the chilling effect of driving members out of competing groups, and a dampening effect on new recruits. The hope is to enlarge the base of the dominant group.<ref>[https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2017/10/16/liberal_intolerance.html How 'Liberal' Became 'Not Far-Left Enough']</ref>

This is not to say they are incapable of forging [[coalition]]s, which they often do, sometimes among disparate groups with absurd sounding names - Environmentalists Against the War, or [[Act Now to Stop War and End Racism]] (A.N.S.W.E.R.}. ANSWER is one of the most dangerous and despicable racist organizations in the United States, known for its violent and [[anarchist]] elements.<ref>[https://www.adl.org/news/press-releases/news-ranking-the-top-10-anti-israel-groups-in-2013-adl Anti-Defamation League: Top 10 List]</ref>

[[Envy]] is perhaps the driving motivation behind far left ideology, envy of persons or instituions which have obtained social status and political power by merit or inheritance. They posess a [[You didn't build that|desire for other people's wealth]] coupled with a lust for power. Far leftists consider the only thing resembling [[justice]] on this [[Earth]] is having themselves in power, not through fair elections, but by deception or [[violence]].

Democracy and popular [[consensus]] is not part of far left ideology (barring [[Mobocracy]] and mob rule). Among [[Democratic Socialist]]s, for example, the core value is said to be, to develop a consensus among themselves how to govern [[society]]. However this principle is subject to change with the next historical whim or crisis.
