The problem with this formulation is that an agreement in ideals or values says nothing about an alignment in strategy. If one group thinks the only way to achieve its goal is to agitate, educate, and organize the people to the point that they're capable of the complete overthrow of the status quo, while someone else thinks that the status quo can be reformed and made to serve the people, their strategies will actually be completely opposed to each other. That's true regardless of the fact that both of them might be motivated by the same thing, and even the same goal.
