      How are they “reactionary”, “grifters” and “with very little knowledge of theory”? Caleb Maupin is one of the most well read online communists, he knows the history of US labor activism up and down, he has read theory from many marxist thinkers, from the classics (Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao) to more obscure figures like Hoxha, Gramsci and William Z Foster. He has participated in activism for 2 decades, from anti Iraq War protests, to the Workers World Party, to Occupy Wall Street, to visiting Russia, China, Nicaragua, Iran, Venezuela, to meeting with Mariela Castro and inviting her to New York to hold pro trans rights rallies, to traveling to Yemen to bring humanitarian aid, to his think tank CPI now.

      Caleb is marxist leninist, pro abortion, pro LGBTQ rights, antiracist, feminist and antibigot. He is nothing of what you called him, and i find it disappointing that american leftists would waste time slandering fellow comrades instead of fighting your imperialist regime, all while the rest of the world suffers the consequences of that regime. My country is occupied by US military bases imposed on us by a fascist regime, we never voted for them, yet we will still be blown to pieces if a war with Russia breaks out.

      I cannot speak for other so called “patsocs” since im not very familiar with them, but Caleb Maupin is 100% a comrade and the only reason you hate him is rumours that you believe i dont know why. Dont you have critical thought? Or you just believe whatever they tell you, no questioning? If you do question things, please head out to his youtube channel, you will see im not lying.

          I really dont care about flags, flags are just a piece of cloth. I care about the values someone has and their actions. If you support antiimperialism and worker solidarity, you are my Comrade. I dont care what flag you use, thats up to you. If you like USA flag its ok, if you dont like it its ok.

              99% of americans dont support antiimperialism either, whats your point? Also i would dispute the notion that conservatives are more hostile to antiimperialism. In the George W Bush neocon years sure, but since Trump the situation has turned id say. More and more conservatives and libertarians are against wars, while democrat supporters love the Azov Battallion and want war with Russia. Tucker Carlson, of all people, has been the only mainstream media voice to expose lies on Ukraine. I think this reflects a divide in the US ruling class, between top billionaires like Jeff Bezos who support democrats and want interventionism because it benefits their international corporations, and smaller millionaires and billionaires like Rupert Murdoch who support Trump republicans and want isolationism and reindustrialization of the USA since they benefit more from that. I think this explains the Trump movement and related stuff. Ofc this isnt 100% mathematical, for example Elon Musk is a top billionaire but supports republicans, but i still think this model explains the situation quite well.

                Trump and Republicans are not as anti-war as you think

                Trump wanted to bomb and invade Iran as well as start a full economic war with China

                They just don’t want proxy wars, vassal states, neo-colony type situations since they don’t want to invest in other countries to further imperialism and just want to keep all their money in America instead

                Libertarians’ foreign policies are much better but not sure what they have to do with anything since they have 0 presence in the USA

                  With anti war i meant more Trump supporters than Trump himself.
