People in the political center and on the left tend to have a monolithic view of the far right. In reality, it is an expansive ecosystem that includes neo-Nazis, Christian nationalists, conspiracy theorists, anti-government militias, and white nationalists. These groups have some beliefs that conflict, but they are generally willing to overlook their differences. Still, not every group uses the same tactics to try to gain power.
A lesson the left doesn’t ever seem to learn. The worst enemy of the left has been, is, and always will be, the left. The infighting is insane.

Idk about that, I would argue that the people that killed or imprisoned leftists or plan to do so have been/are the worst enemy of leftists. Like in Germany the nazis kinda killed or exiled a whole generation of leftists of all stripes. I think that is way worse than infighting, arguments or splitting up.
And calling something negative “insane” has a kinda ableist tone. I think other words would be equally effective in making your point.
I think it’s more accurate to say that those in power are threatened by the left rather than government as an entity. We have shitty, corrupt leaders whose agendas conflict with the left’s calls for fairness, equity, and accountability.

I think you just made ops point.
If you think polite disagreement is infighting, then no wonder you have no clue what you’re talking about…
By the way, impolite disagreement is also not infighting.
I think you just made the ops point.
Another aspect that you missed is that the government and systems of power are threatened by the left, so they actively sew discord inside the left.
Those systems and governments have an active interest in ensuring that the left is fractured.
