Well, not the same level (conservatives are clearly worse) but the line is increasingly becoming blurred in this day and age. Maybe I am looking at this wrong, but they are far more likely to shit on communism (while calling themselves lefist) and making excuses for the United States

I know "leftist infighting" has been a thing since forever, but it really seems like they're closer to reformed capitalism than anything resembling socialism...

    leftist infighting’ is more about anarchists and communists, or marxist leninists and maoists ect squabbling over the details of how to implement actual socialism and not capitalist reform

    That's kinda what I was thinking, but I guess I just try to give them the benefit of the doubt (which I can't do).

    I'm not well-versed in leftist theory or anything else other than the surface level ideas expressed in some very introductory texts

      Well, there you go - would you be open to reading some? I'm not he most versed myself, but if its a question of time commitment, or wanting the ideas presented in modern verbiage rather than 1800s prose, there are plenty of people here that can point you to things that would be beneficial reading!
