But what if they get into a bitter disagreement over Weimar-era German politics, despite both being well to the left of most people around them and both agreeing on a wide swath of immediate issues?

Then those two people will have to create a minimum of 3 (three) new parties with progressively longer and more obtuse names and spend the next 20 years hurling bitter recriminations at the other parties (and their own party once that one inevitably splits at its inaugural meeting).

"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985
