To be entirely fair: he pulled that book (it was called Satan at the Fountainhead: The Israel Lobby and the Financial Crisis) from publication after it got heavy criticism from Jewish communists. It’s actually really hard to find now for that reason.
I don’t think Maupin’s a fascist. I do think he engages in somewhat risky tactics, under the rubric of “let’s all just fight the imperialists now and sort out our differences later.” But he’s probably correct in stating that the specific party model pioneered by Lenin, and the specific tactics outlined in What is to be Done? are unsuitable for the particular material circumstances of 21st century America.
It’s good he’s trying something new. I just wish he was better at it.
