What is this bullshit?

    These losers deserve every form of mockery that comes their way, but there's a more serious side to all this. Maupin has been associating himself with the LaRouche movement. Just read about LaRouche or the LYM. Despite their incoherency, there are striking similarities between the ideology of the LaRouchists and Maupin's, including the not-so-subtle antisemitism.

    They are a cult, and Maupin is already trying to set himself up as a new cult leader. Most of the books they sell aren't even Marxist, but random books that Maupin allegedly authored. We have already seen a cult leader in the form of Gazi. More of these cults will pop up as the US further decays. Some people will fall into fascism while others will fall into these cults. Both will lead them off a cliff.

        If you're talking about the LYM, my first exposure to them was at a community college where they had a booth handing out their shitty newspaper. The articles kept on labeling things "Apollonian" and "Dionysian" like some wannabe Nietzsche except they liked the Apollonian stuff. There was also some bizarre article about how Leibniz was some genius and Newton stole his idea and how this is somehow bad and has a profoundly adverse affect on world politics. Oh yeah, it was also super culty with articles that continuously praise LaRouche for being some world-historic genius who presumably took up the intellectual mantle of Leibniz.

        It was some wild shit lol

      Until these cults start blowing shit up and shooting people, I will continue to not take them seriously

      the pivot to becoming LaRouchites was so predictable. Maupin himself was pushing this shit years ago. LaRouche hated the USSR and took credit for the Reaganite SDI shit, and was working with the KKK and the CIA. you can see a good picture of why patsoc's would eventually trend towards this bullshit. easy work for the feds when US hegemony is central to these movements
