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)

You are right! The Jews were their principal victims, but the Nazis feared and hated anyone who didn't match their chosen in-group. It is the same in America.

It makes me realize why solidarity among those opposed to fascism is so important. I am not trans (for example), but I must stand in solidarity with trans people because the right wants to divide us. In fact, we should count that desire as one of the reasons the 'left' appears disorganized: the right sows chaos and discord among its enemies to make them easier to subjugate.
