I came across this guy recently and found him to be pretty interesting. He has some quirky mannerisms, probably a little full of himself and is more along the Dengist line but he has a really good grasp of world history, current events and revolutionary theory. A lot of Youtube Communists stick to their talking points but don’t have the depth of knowledge or wider perspective necessary to elaborate on much else. Parenti and his generation are passing on from this world and there’s been a big gap in younger leading Marxists. I could possibly see Maupin being the start of this next generation of Marxist intellectuals. Maybe he has a closet full of skeletons, I don’t know, but this is my surface level take.
Caleb Maupin posted:The world famous founder of Alibaba may be a billionaire CEO, but the words he is repeating around the world contain echoes of Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, and Mao Zedong. It may be difficult for the untrained ear to identify it, but it should be no surprise that this rock star of China’s centrally planned economy is on good terms with the deeply ideological ruling Party. For those with a deeper understanding, Marxist undertones can be found all throughout Ma’s technological optimism.
"Caleb Maupin is a Marxist, Anti-Racist, and Feminist. He opposes all forms of oppression. But he is also a Christian and a Patriotic American. He remains critical of the pessimism and destructiveness that remains in some leftist circles."
Pretty cool!

Counterpoint
just chilling at a conference with dugin, some neo-fascists, and the token french medievalist, while complaining about "international bankers" and the american left promoting "weakness". lol.
he's a CRAAAAANK
I also imagine this is what would happen if you went into the underground laboratory where the WWP grows Marcyists in rows of vats, but if something had gone wrong somewhere -- there was a computer glitch causing a bizarre, runaway mutation -- and then he escaped out into society and started making internet videos about why Putin is a socialist. This isn't about Marcyism though, and I don't know much about it. From the posts I've read here, I've seen a case for it as a pragmatic way to position and focus people when the U.S. is attacking another country. The U.S. and France start bombing Libya, and there are "socialists" who will try to confuse opposition in the U.S. by saying "well, it's a complicated situation," if not cheering it on, and Marcyism tries to neutralize that. Whereas Maupin seems to recognize that the U.S. is imperialist, but I'm not sure he really understands why that is or the internal motivators helping drive it.
He also complains a lot about "identity politics," like it's a bad brand for "the left." But this doesn't seem like the issue to me. It's not like queer people making political demands are going to stop because of what "communists" decide to do. That seems like a really silly way to think. I also think if you're talking about socialism with people you're far more likely to be asked about "how are you gonna pay for it" or "isn't Fidel Castro a dictator?" The Bernie people end up going, well, actually did you know the Dalai Lama is a socialist? Whereas Maupin will go, basically, you know those white guys who drive Ford Raptors and sell propane and propane accessories? Well in Russia those guys are socialists, and if you're one of those guys that means you're really like a socialist too, but in denial. Well, anyways

he doesn't hate amerikkka enough but that's a problem for a lot of people
Surely if these people were limited to just writing blogs and essays they would still be on wordpress urls with 10 hits.
edit: 10k subscribers isn't quite the top. That autobiography cartoon was psychotic... the little south park canadian policemen beating the black teens... the newgrounds clip of a yemeni port being bombed... all backed by cheerful Cialis commercial whistling music. holy shit

I'll cop to watching a few 'breadtube' videos but thats when I dont have the time or the will to read something denser. 'Edutainment' is invariably less than the sum of its parts.

algorithms tend to select for shallow stuff that is 'uncontroversial' in my experience. oh but sometimes they select for nazi stuff instead, funny how that just happens.

These forces, are part of the cult, the death cult, the synthetic left. The pessimistic, destruction, tear things down cult. And so of course, do they, f-, they hate suits! Why would I, why would I want to dress respectably? Why would I want to look like someone who's taken seriously? I should be, I should be wearing ripped jeans. I should be running around breaking windows. I should be, I should be burning the Amerikan flag. I should be telling average Amerikans that they're racist Euro-settlers and, who deserve to die. I should, you know, and I mean that's, of course, I mean that's what these people think, right? There's this death cult, this destructive death cult that has replaced leftism. That is my basis for my arguments with this empanada guy.

that's a noble endeavour but it turns out that the best sources of knowledge are the stalin and mao sections on maxists.org
Beginning in 2019, we would have dinner together at least once a month, and sometimes during those dinners, he would bring up (what I assumed at the time was) his academic interest in corporal punishment, especially spanking
As time went on, we became closer and closer friends, which led to him confiding in me in 2020 during the beginning of the COVID pandemic that his “academic” special interest was, in fact, a sexual one.
Caleb spoke more often about being spanked at school, and then finally made it clear that he gets sexual gratification from being spanked now as an adult
Another thing that Caleb mentioned to me at some point in 2018, was that he would ask women if they were ever spanked as a child, and liked to talk to women about their experiences and share his own childhood spanking memories.
Between February 2019 and April 2019, Caleb began mentioning the idea of a “social media coach.” Caleb started to increase how often he would bring up the “social media coach” idea. He wanted to find a woman who would text him throughout the week to check in on him and make sure to shame and admonish him if he wasn’t reaching his goals in growing his following online. Then, the social media coach would meet up with him and spank his rear end at the end of the week, which he would pay for.
In March 2019, I noticed a newer member who was 19 years old began to get favored by Caleb, and something in my head started to feel worried that this innocent person might be getting asked questions about if they have ever been spanked (this member had vaguely mentioned stressful moments with their parents during group meetings, which scared me to wonder if this could have Caleb make that connect to his spanking/domination fetish)
Nearly a dozen different people came out about Caleb Maupin forcing people into partaking in his spanking fantasies.
