    People on the left have historically had a lot of difficulty organizing, I think in part because they are always trying to impose their subjective point of view on others and that prevents them from forming a plan of action and following it.

      The right ideologically represents consolidation of power and conformity. The left ideologically represents distribution of power and freedom of expression. All of those things lie in a balance, and all are necessary for a functional society. That balance is the big problem. When one ‘party’ is focused on unifying behind a powerful person regardless of the broad reaching implications of that accumulation of power, while the other ‘party’ is focused on wrangling different ideological groups towards the overlap in the vent diagrams of their interests and goals, you tend to observe a relative ‘difficulty in organizing’.

      Of course, there are other viewpoints that would disagree with this analysis.

      Because the biggest enemy of someone on the left, is another person on the left with slightly different viewpoints than their own.
