Where I am from there are like 8 different leftists parties laying claim to the same chunk of people. There will be one big and relevant party in the end, but getting there has the danger of a bajillion parties competing and creating noise rather than directed struggle. XKCD standards meme

Sure, that's why having a clear and correct party line is important.

That's how it's always been, look at pre-revolutionary russia same there.

I get what you are saying, the Russian revolution was a success despite sharing a feature that was a great hindrance. I think though that saying "X has always been like this" has a somewhat ahistorical quality to it. There is simply no good knowledge of the future.
