    Vietnam: equal LGBT rights by 2024

    Cuba: family code, gay as fuck agitprop

    China: slowly introducing “gay is okay” style education into classrooms

    Maupin and adjacent cultists will soon be delegated to the dustbin of history.

      Actually, for China, Vietnam and Cuba, the limiting factor of implementing LGBTQ+ rights is not socialism, but the traditional and extremely conservative views held by the majority population. Most of the work by far is going into working the people past that, because human rights is about humans and not as simple as the writing of a few sentences into the law.

        Precisely. And communists from those nations are combating that conservative cultural hegemon.

          Seeing people as baby machines to feed actual machines instead of embracing our natural state even if the economy suffers for it. Being true to the workers and encouraging all of their people to be true to themselves and each other.

    He tweets like 5 times a minute. Jesus Christ, when is the last time this man-child touched grass.

    Also his 10th or so most recent tweet is him fawning over and meeting Tucker Carlson. Literal scum. Any actual communist organization would have lined a person like Maupin against a wall.

    …Every time Maupin talks; I am reminded that he and his ilk are certain they dont need my help nor do they want it.

    So I wont stick my neck out for them.

    Fuck it. I wont even help him and his if the cops start kicking their teeth in. Sure… Go ahead and label me a woke reactionary.

    Really getting beyond fed up with everyone pretending that “culture war” is just nothing burger twitter beef while hate crimes are popping off everywhere; kids are getting abused and targeted by the state for being queer or nonwhite, and far right gangs are terrorizing communities.

    But sure. The biggest problem is that the woke folks dont understand that they and everyone else is going broke. 🤦‍♂️

    God damn what a waste.

      Rest assured that Maupin does not care a whole lot about societal issues.

      I’m sure he cares a little bit, in his own way. If he didn’t, he would have picked another grift.

      But above all, this venture of his is firstly meant to funnel money in his business (the CPI, which is a private business registered under his name).

        I mean I don’t like Maupin either but that’s a weak criticism. What’s to seperate CPI from the liberation school PSL runs? His ideology is just a mess of nonsense. If you watch his youtube videos, his little fire-side chats with unknown orange beverages, he contradicts himself and his supposed ideology quite often. Maybe lean more on that instead of speculating he’s financially grifting. We know he’s socially grifting out the ass.

          I don’t understand the point you’re making.

          Liberation School is an online repository of educational resources that is run by a registered political party.

          CPI is a private business whose members spent their whole day canvassing for pocket change that went directly to Maupin while living out of a hotel room they had to pay for themselves, at the detriment of their social life and livelihood.

          Maybe lean more on that instead of speculating he’s financially grifting. We know he’s socially grifting out the ass.

          Various criticisms can be made of the same person – and even of the same observation – and can add to each other instead of detracting from each other, no?

      It’s a manufactured conflict. It’s not that it’s not happening, but when you look at the whys it IS a nothing burger, just a smokescreen to get us fighting each other or some bullshit about culture which is determined by economics not street fighting, instead of fixing the real cause of the issues both artificial and organic.

        Honest question.

        Are you REALLY saying that massacres at queer bars as just… A street fight?

        Homework assignment, comrade. Show me ANY moment in history where minorities of any stripe massacred a white conservative church.

        I will fucking wait.

        Please show us the injury inflicted on conservative white christians by the hands of dastardly blacks and faggots. Please. Show us the equivalent harm. Im fucking begging you.

          Wow what a rabid radlib lol. You understand the first layer of an onion isn’t the entire onion yes? That if you peel back the layers, you’ll find the most oniony part is actually the core and not what’s first seen? Your argument seems to be ignoring the substance of my argument and trying to overcompensate by hyping up the emotional impact of the distraction that’s been organized. The culture war nonsense is no different than the Johnny Depp story, only the story has changed but they’re both created to do the same thing - get everyone to focus on something other than the real issue, and the people responsible for it all.

            Couldnt find and equivalent injury, could you. 🤔 It’s almost as if there is some kind of strange material connection between the structures of capital and white identity motivations. 🤷‍♂️

            Maybe I dunno; dont equate white supremacist violence as just an illusory street fight? Maybe not call marginalized being asked to not be killed or targeted by the state as active participants in a silly culture war “street fight”.

            If you wanna go down this road; then explain to us why the targets of white violence needs to treat white feelings with kid gloves? Are white workers incapable of not falling for the Fox News and Stormfront grift?

            Since we are here. What do colonized workers owe white workers? How are colonized and marginalized workers failing the white worker?

              Look at you go assembling and then tearing apart strawman after strawman. If only you applied that energy towards studying and building alternatives instead of attacking the left online. This I expect from Reddit, I expect more from Lemmygrad. Toting IDPOL and mentioning workers while slinging accusation after accusation and never stop being offended or tone policing. Now I have some questions for you: Explain what capital is, how it accumulates, which structures reinforce it, what the base and superstructure are, and the role of a vanguard. Are you actually a leftist or are you simply another radlib who follow us like fanboys/girls, let’s see.

                Capital - The means of which bourgoisie levels command over economies usually represented by “the amount of money” they possess but also includes rent seeking, owning of assets, owning of the means of production, resources, and distribution lines, and financing; typically.

                Capital accumulates classically by owning the means of production and paying labor less than the value of said labor. That surplus is profit. It is also modernly accumulated through rent, debt collection, super profits from the global south, unequal exchange between an imperialist core and a colonized area, expansion of markets outward, and monopolizing sectors of the economy into private hands.

                The structures that reinforce it are states that represent the interests of capital and level the monopoly of violence, legal deeds, and courts, and military expeditions to protect the rights of private property and the opening up and monopolizing of markets and resources.

                The base is our material conditions. These can be work conditions, living conditions, the means at which we transport people and resources. The base informs the superstructure. And through superstructure, the base can be altered.

                Superstructure is usually cultural things, religion, arts, and labor relations and how we explain the material contradictions of capital and how we negotiate those contradictions.

                And example is we live in a base material condition of abundance and yet we have a superstructural discussion of why we “live in a state of scarcity” and of course those of us who are arguing against that in hopes to change the relationship to the means of production. The base informs our superstructure, but it isnt absolute because it also informs the negation of bourgoisie thought and class consciousness.

                A vanguard is a party of professional revolutionaries whose job it is to help guide one class to realize their material interests over another class; in this sense a vanguard class that helps working masses realize their material interests and seizing that moment at the expense of the idle, passive, and parasitic capitalist class.

                You havent answered my questions. But I answered yours.

                But that doesnt change the fact that you came off like a tactless, insensitive prick and calling the violence of culture war as a nothing burger street fight. As if those who are having the violence done to them are somehow equally responsible for what you called… “A street fight”.

                Calling reactionary terrorism and right wing agitprop a culture war is a misnomer. It’s terrorism pure and simple. It’s stochastic terrorism pure and simple.

                The existence of Black Wall Street wasnt terrorism or even an equal participant in a “street fight”. The existence of Stonewall wasnt a terrorism and those people werent rolling out brutalizing breeders on the weekend cause “damn the straights”.

                But the actions of those angry white workers and petite bourgoisie crackers that firebombed Black Wall Street was terrorism. The cops that raided Stonewall and… Picked a fight with those patrons was a terrorism and a self defense against that terror.

                Whatever though.

                  B+ on the base and superstructure part but I’m impressed. I’m sorry for raging you but it will at least our interaction will serve the cause of self improvement for us both. You seem to be confused by my use of the term street fight. I would consider anti-fascists brawling with the proud boys a street fight, yes. What would you call it? A tea party? This is what I meant, an actual street fight. I am being a tactless and rather blunt dick but I’m allowed, especially when someone comes at me acting like a rabid radlib despite not actually being one. I don’t have any interest in carrying an ounce of water for the democratic party’s culture propaganda, and whether you realize it or not you are doing so. The fact that violence is happening and needs to be defended against isn’t the problem, making the problems of the day end there is which is when it becomes a meaningless culture war against the fascists, something the 3 arrows crowd would be satisfied with, is. We all know who put them up to this, and why they listen to them, thus we know what is for us to do and what isn’t for us to do. Your arguments were filled with personal attacks, the enemy only raised to the fascists when that is never the end to the situation, and your splicing of popular liberal argumentative style of infusing outrage, expectations for your opponent, and over the top emotions are red flags to any leftist who has debated them which not only sets off a bad tone but most importantly doesn’t convince anyone of anything. The argument is authoritative and coercive instead of helpful and insightful. Do you see how you got stuck in a loop of specific histories of workers and the actions of the fascists from misunderstanding my argument, and can you imagine how it looked to me? Read back and see if you can understand what I’ve said. Even though it’s coming from a tactless dick, you should consider expanding your approach to debating such as reducing how much you rely upon emotions to drive you (you’ll end up missing things and it can lead you off on a tangent), and try to make your argument more based in your studies than identity. The liberals do that enough for us all.
