“Progressivism has no enemies to the Left. It recognizes only idealists whose time has not yet come” -Nick Land
The Left is notoriously anti-fragile because it is always at war with itself. As humorous as Leftist infighting seems from the outside, the Left emerges stronger after undergoing seemingly pointless struggles over dogma
Has feminism become stronger or weaker after ejecting the TERFs? Did Communism historically become stronger or weaker after purging anarchist and pacifistic elements? Did the environmentalist movement become stronger or weaker after ejecting incrementalism?
Answer: the political cargo cults became stronger after eliminating impure activists. Meanwhile, Conservative Inc accepts Second Wave feminists, early environmentalists, and Trotskyites onto into their program
The Left is an active organic movement while the Right usually consists of ideological reaction, recycled ideas, and table scraps
Therefore, Land is correct when he says “the Left thrives on dialectics, the Right parishes by them”. Maintaining the status quo or returning to a previous status quo is Right and dialectics is Left
