Not really among the actual leftists. There is a conflict between the neoliberal starmerites who fake being left and the actual leftists that he has been purging so hard it puts stalin to shame, there is barely any fighting among the actual UK left because we do not give a fuck. I don't fucking care what the person next to me on the roof of an Israeli weapons factory believes, I care that he's going to have my back when the cops show up. I do not care what the person next to me on the picket line believes, I care that they're fucking there. If you said this shit in person at an event you'd get knocked out or if you're lucky sidelined and ostracised by just about every group in the left for being a wrecker whose goal is clearly not to help but to divide.

Very very rarely there is some extremely cringe jabs between the trots and the MLs, but not particularly often because there's no fucking point. The anarchists are ironically the least sectarian, simply caring that people show up when the hunt sabos need it because there's fuck all people in the countryside as it is to be picky about what kind of leftist someone is. Everyone shows up for everyone's events, because having a left is far more fucking important than arguing over 100 year old cringe while workers lives are being made worse NOW. All you're doing with this shit is helping capitalists by weakening leftists.

And you didn't answer my question about what union you're in?

You know it's a proper leftist you are arguing with when each reply is 10 times the length as the thing they are responding to.
