And reading political theory and discussing often leads to disputes about interpretation, etc.
My opinion as a white person is that some of us get too identified w/ theory and then our identity can feel threatened.
Don't know if that answers your question, but thanks for prompting a discussion!

Son & I discussed your question. His opinions:
Trotsky v Lenin was more about power, but yes, there was infighting about dogma. The more extreme the positions on either side (left/right, etc), the more infighting, though it happens across the board. Also, leftists tend to read more political theory.
