The YCL appears to have been tearing itself apart over the last few weeks, from what I hear. Here is an indication of this:

Messy Crimbobs, fellow humans.
It's ok, I'm sure whoever survives this historical turning point will find a home in either the League of Communist Youth, the Communist Youth League or the League of Young Communists.

Could be a useful procedure on here tbh"The member is required to draft a detailed self-critical account ,,,"

Isn’t the point of any youth political movement to tear itself apart? I can only imagine the point is amplified for a youth movement that’s part of a wider movement that spends much of its time tearing itself apart.

My favourite line in the whole piece linked to has to be "We understand that these allegations will be highly upsetting and concerning to our members and the wider public". I envy young people for the innate passion they have for their causes, to the point that they can't imagine how other people wouldn't share this passion also.

I envy the surety that holds the wider public will hear about it let alone give a tin shit.

I haven't been able to sleep even before this all happened, just in anticipation. Now my world has fallen apart, what there was of it.

Wow. Now guaranteed to get about 10x more social media coverage than before this statement was released!
Although probably still not that much.

More than I'd like. For a group of cosplaying stalinists who think the CCP is an example of actually existing socialism, they seem to have far more members than sense. I fell into a Redtek stream over Xmas. Pretty good music all told, but the chat was full of YCL tankies

Blimey. That's a lot. You could form six or seven decent sized factions with that many members.

Aside from the gropey sex pest part of the dispute (which should be dealt with even inside an anachronism like the YCL), I thought Komsomol activity involved unmasking Trotskyites, and if the leadership are being inexcusably lacking in appropriate vigilance, then write a few shit-stirring letters to big moustache himself, and at some conference or other watch em' get denounced, arrested and never seen alive again.

350 YCL or 350 CPB?

Just enjoyin' my coffee.
Wikipedia sez 350 but, as the YCL probably made that entry, it's likely to be inflated. Wikipedia has CPB at 856.
And for the record, my favourite YCL alumni are George Michael and Shakin' Stevens

I always remember that when the CP would have delegations from Youth Sections from other Communist parties over they always looked older than my father

I don't think the figure of 350 for the YCL is inflated. At one point the YCL was down to 50 members by late 1980s, but they experienced a big growth since 2017 as a result of the new vogue for Stalinism (see Red London). This now seems to be unravelling. Oh, Serge, Pete Townsend was in the YCL, but I can't stand the fucker.
