Any time in history that there have been two powerful socialistic groups, whether political parties or adjacent nations, they have fought each other first, and only when one became predominant turned their attention to vanquishing the non-socialists.

It’s worth noting that Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia documents his nearly getting caught up in a purge by the Stalinist Leftists in Spain, while escaping from the country, because he had been fighting against the Spanish nationalists / Fascists with a different Marxist faction. Despite being in the middle of a full-blown civil war, the Leftists were still infighting among themselves in a deadly way.
