Once you go further left than social democracy, the left becomes a complete joke, especially the “MUH REVOLOOSHUN” types.
There will never come a time when purity testing is not an integral part of the far left because that’s just how authoritarianism works. They’ll always be rigid and inflexible ideologically, and they’ll always look to gatekeep and exclude. Because they’re incapable of being pragmatic, adaptable, or unifying, they’ll never organize enough to do anything. In the few times in history where that did happen, the movements always ended up imploding from within.
As far as I’m concerned, the modern far left will always be an online phenomenon that will only make little splashes here and there. Therefore, anybody who is concerned about their crappy ideologies has nothing to worry about.
