The west had historically used the 'divide and conquer' strategy on leftist organisations. Of course that's not the only reason, but it definitely has exacerbated left wing infighting.

The right wing has never really had that. I assume it's because they lack any real theoretical framework which could be fought over. Right wing ideologies are just 'vibes', basically

The west mostly divides leftist organizations by having nonviolent activists form a bunch of front groups in the first place. It's not just a product of "infighting" like OP implies. Left organizations that operate like NGOs don't care about gaining power and constantly develop new brands for the same failing strategies.
