I'm (still) not extremely online enough to entirely follow what happened to Clara Sorrenti that she had to resign from the Communist Party of Canada (apparently just within the hour as I type this), but that kinda sucks, she's good people.

Anyone have an idea of what went down?

At 28:36 she starts talking about it. Basically, the party wasn't on board with condemning settler colonialism in their party program, China sucks, some other stuff.

Clara said she hosed up her brain by posting edgy poo poo on Twitter. More evidence for the wisdom of the "never tweet" lifestyle.

Late to the Arendt chat but I opened my Losurdo and finally remembered another thing she's known for: equation of the USSR with Nazi Germany as totalitarian empires running on their own pan-ethnic ideologies and which could as well have been allies against western liberalism as enemies in WW2. The Cold War historical revisionism makes for an interesting combination with her advanced race theory.

it sounds like the party didn't even want her to tweet about settler colonialism. there's a weird thing with these micro-parties how they demand their members all obey the "line" like democratic centralism means everyone has to have the same opinions on everything. then they wonder why they never grow. it's why i've always been wary of these groups.

Online communism is basically a secularized religion and that's how heretics are treated.

One aspect of her resignation address that's impossible to get away from is how much it resembles a classic "finding my faith/being strong in my faith/losing my faith" narrative arc from contemporary Christianity.

yt is the zoomer way of saying whitey and she's a white Canadian so she's the descendant of settlers. I can't tell from your post of they were attacking her for being for or against juche but I hope we all at least know what the correct position is with regards to that

i understand the meaning of the phrase. it makes less sense to call her that if she wanted to talk about it tho. as for juche i only know it as a joke
