That image is truly hilarious, but also strangely comforting. I mean, one fear I've had for a long time is that the larger left is too split to enact real change. There's this sentiment on the internet that anarchists hate commies, commies hate liberals, liberals hate socialists, and then even smaller, more esoteric subgroups start bickering nad yaddi yaddi yadda...Point is, as much truth as there might be to that-
we're all just agreeing with eachother at the end of the day. I mean hell, as much diversity as there is in the left, nothing will ever come close to the amount of cannibalization occuring from ingroups on the right. As you said, their weapon is delusion, but with delusion comes subjectivity, and subjectivity causes splits on things that are a matter of opinion, which is the natural antithesis of republicanism-
as it makes foreigners of its own people. So sticking to the facts we all agree on, and not arguing about "who remains after the revolution?" is our job at the moment. We can fight and bicker like the left always have, because at the end of the day, we can never destroy ourselves to the degree that fascism can, and that's comforting.

Updated the formatting, added a missing sentence at the beginning, and removed a sentence I felt wasn't needed
