The first book I got about the JCP was this one (very famous).
I heard that the political position of the self-governing dormitory where I lived during my college days was at odds with the Minsei (Democratic Youth League). Still, I did not understand the background then or know it now.
I was just a 'parasite' student in the dorm.
To put it bluntly, if you are an engineering student, working part-time to earn a living, and then getting involved in a political movement, you are no longer a human being but a robot or a cyborg.
For science students, who are more interested in "Laplace transformations" than "politics" and "simulation programming" than "struggle," the self-governing dormitory was not a very comfortable place to be.
Aside from that.

I am indebted to the Communist Party, or rather, Communist ideology, a lot -- exclusively for "irony" and "parody".
In the last three years or so alone, I have written this much.

Recently, a representative of a political party made a controversial remark about the Communist Party, saying that it is a party that "should be gone.
Well, we all have one or two "guys" we wish were gone.
But I promise not to say those things -- because I'm an adult.
(This time, I won't bring up the simple logic of 'eugenics' that negates this thinking. It's too much trouble.)
The idea that "XXXX should go away" has nothing to do with democracy, principle, or--
Not good from a 'statistical' standpoint.
It is not a healthy state of affairs.
Democracy is more stable when the various ideas are well scattered (like a normal distribution).
Otherwise, we would have to push and operate a one-party dictatorship or hegemony, which, in my view, looks like a 'democracy that is being forced.'
Of course, ideas and groups around the 4-5 sigma of the normal distribution that 'endorse violence,' for example, should be clamped down on, but that should be left to the law (and the violent apparatus (the police)).
I looked it up, and it seems that they are, somehow, still being properly watched.
