A serious question ...

[the Left™]

How can we ever adopt a revolutionary platform, win the hearts and minds of the working class, create a common goal in removing wage-labour etc if the "radical left" argues with itself so much? Is sectarianism the biggest problem the anti-capitalist left ever faced?

You've just summed up why I'm an Anarchist. Just let the working class decide what happens and what they do, don't let the revolution get hijacked by a bunch of Authoritarian scum.

Im being serious though. If the radical left cant even get along with itself, how can it struggle against the powers of capital

Because, we're not important, the working class is.

The act of revolution is authoritarian..

To be honest I'd be more concerned about the state of the Left in the absence of this impassioned debate between the various currents; this difference of opinion stands only as proof of the continuing vitality of a movement which has not yet become a stagnant imitation of itself. This is not to say that there are not sectarian conflicts building on caricature and self-aping - this gives rise to wholly lifeless arguments totally devoid of any genuine passion, just an indifference in the garb of dispute, - but I am more that willing to put up with such performances in order to allow the flourishing of productive disagreement, that which stems from a deep-seated emotional commitment to ones cause, demonstrating the continued relevance of the movement, a movement that still has the desire to refine and hone itself, to examine new ideas and possibilities, surging forth towards hitherto unimagined frontiers, rather than sitting back and claiming contentment with itself so prematurely.
