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)

A lot of rightists go "jews suck lmao" or whatever everywhere possible IRL, which leads to people with similar opinions talking with them and leftists staying the fuck away.

The "far-left" is usually not triggered by everyday interactions. Asking people about their politics directly may come off as weird, especially if the ideas that were to follow are not widespread and/or they have not researched politics much. Btw, "I don't speak politics" (I once used to claim this) is often the audience to be targeted with right wing ideas even without realizing.

Oh, and oftentimes, the government is a direct enemy to the far-left. Only rarely not (Ukrainian anarchists are siding with Ukraine, Christiania is making tourism money for Denmark, etc).
