Most of my beef is with the YCL, but they are the youth wing of the CPB so I view them as an entity sharing beliefs as well as problems. I personally had a dispute with their Facebook admin (of both CPB and YCL) who was also the head of their London branch of the YCL, and while that’s all anecdotal, she pointed out that the BRS contains a passage whose wording is, as the kids of today would say, sus. In the context of talking about transgender people, it also states the need to ‘protect the rights of women and girls’. Its understanding of sex and gender is also pretty lacklustre.
That doesn’t even go on to the poor handling of a sexual assault case they had as well as the gloating YCL members displayed when RFB went defunct. Even the Trotskyists I know were upset to hear that RFB fell apart.
CPB also suffers from prominent transphobic elements.
That’s so bad. I would’ve joined CPB even if its revisionist because I wanna do praxis.
