The disappointing reality is that a lot of authoritarian dipshits calling themselves leftist genuinely believe that's how socialism is supposed to work.
Humanity's default is tribalism. It's how your brain wants to think. It's easy and satisfying and it tends to work okay. So in any ideology, there's people trying to apply that model, because that's how they believe everything works. Reasoned argument is a learned behavior and they opted out. That's hard to distinguish from someone being wrong on purpose just to fuck with you, but it is distinct, in ways that are dangerous to miss.
