Are there any organizations that unite ALL of the left?

I have to disagree with how many factions, organizations, etc. are split from a few political ideologies. How are we supposed to get things done, smash the ruling class, end exploitation, if we don't have one big force?
Now, i understand that the working class is a force in itself, but shouldn't there be an organization for workers that actually care, the ones that are actually revolutionary, so that you can recruit members of the working class into this one, large organization?
Then you can have different branches of this organization in different countries, cities, etc. that update each other on events.

It seems, imo, that the divisions to different organizations seems to hinder any revolutionary activity, since these groups waste precious time arguing and trying to defeat each other instead of defeating the real enemy: imperialist swine, fash, and counter-revolutionaries.

If we are divided, we will be conquered, but united, we could actually have enormous strength!!

How are we supposed to co-exist in a classless society if we can't even coexist now?! Over little tiny arguments, we freak out and create new parties, and factions.

Any suggestions, ideas, etc.?

This is what mass organizations are, ideally, well suited to be. A mass organization might be something like a militant, worker-controlled union, but of course there can be others in other spheres of struggle, such as a tenant union and so on. The overall social movement of the class then can be built up through the developing of alliances among these social movement organizations. Unity is something that has to come about through alliance building and is not an automatic process.

Well, it would be nice to see a restoration of the First International, one that would include all revolutionary socialists--nevermind their definition of the State or their opinion of some dead Soviet leader. Unfortunately, infighting and sectarianism are more fundamental to the Left than they are to Christianity. It would be an uphill battle to build the sort of alliances needed to create such an organization, that's for sure.
