      What happened with them? I heard a few clubs dissolved and a bunch of people left after the pest defenders stayed in power, but havent seen any thing since

        That's basically it, nothing was addressed at the party convention, that caused an exodus that negated all the growth they've made in the last 3-4 years and bummed out a ton of local chapters that dissolved. A handful like the Vancouver chapter might be trying to reorganize as their own thing.

    Good on them, but what is there for the CPI to do without Maupin? Do they actually believe in homophobia and Eurasianism enough to continue without propping up a central figure?

    Edit: I guess there's nothing for them to do. They dissolved lol

      I know their west coast branch had an anti-war anti-nato protest yesterday so I think there's somehow enough people acting autonomously from the sexpest, now sexpestless, think-tank core that they can either keep associating with CPI or go off and do their own thing.

      Edit: I guess it's do their own thing since CPI dissolved lol

    Aaaand he deleted his twitter lmao.

    I'm wondering if Max Blumenthal invites him so he can talk for 2 hours about how him being a creep is actually a CIA plot.

        You know how you can't completely tell whether a nationalist/national liberation movement has a predominantly progressive or reactionary character until it succeeds or makes some headway?

        It's the same thing with anti-imperialists. They all have good positions on most things but some turn out to have no substance beyond contrarianism, and it shows over time.

      Sounds like their major innovation is... a leader turning out to be a creep then the entire org imploding in his wake.

      Wait that's not an innovation!

        really just shows that cpi would never get anywhere to begin with, because of them being american chauvinists (and just generally being a patsoc group) coupled with their leadership that allowed maupin to get away with being a creep for a long time.

      Continually amazed that Peterson got dressed to the nines and had a studio set up so he could cry about being banned from Twitter entirely conditionally on deleting a transphobic tweet, instead of deleting the tweet and moving on with his life

        Pointless defiance isn't a byproduct of being mad, pointless defiance is the point.
