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]]."
