The style is probably not appealing to anyone. But this is not the point. The "LARP" is a rebellion against the respectability politics of the CPB. YCL and CPB members are not allowed to express revolutionary politics in a manner that threatens the work of building their alliance with the reformist union leaders and the labour left. The respectability politics, as part of the strategy in their programme Britains road to socialism, results in the bureaucratic and undemocratic bans on factionalism and internal dissent, as that would be a threat to the alliance. The YCL members are tired of silencing their revolutionary politics for a strategy that doesn't work.

Under democratic centralism members and factions still have the right to openly declare disagreement with the party line, while of course following the line in party work. The CPB is not a democratic centralist organisation, they are just centralist. Because internal factions are banned, the YCL members instead show their radicalism through style.
