I keep hearing people say that the far-left is significantly less organised, more fragmented than the far-right. Why is that? (And to be clear: I’m asking about the far-left, not just the left in general (though they may be linked)

I was at a Moral Mondays protest in Raleigh NC a while back and someone with a bullhorn called out "What do we want?!"

And the crowd yelled back, all at once:

"Racial justice!"

"Marriage equality!"

"Immigration reform!"

"Police reform!"

"Impeach Trump!"

"Close Guantanamo!"

"Better pay for teachers!"

...and a bunch of other demands too many to understand in a crowd that large, and while I knew I was with the right people, I had a sinking feeling about our chances of achieving much of anything.
