Most of the left wingers I've encountered have no experience working on humble things that require broad outreach. So okay there's nothing sexy about e.g. side of street parking and minor zoning tweaks, but the OJT and the cultivated ability to work with others is invaluable.
One reason why leftist groups in the US are unable to duplicate the success of the Bolsheviks in Russia is because leftist groups in the US don't have Lenin parachuting in with a bunch of German money. And the reason Lenin had that money was to get Russia out of the war, which he did, to rather unfavorable terms.
Since then billionaires have focused on funding fascism.
So, the circular firing squad is a symptom, not a cause.

My suggestion for any who want to learn practical politics is to mount a campaign for the position of Drain Commissioner.
