Draft:Caleb Maupin

Wow, wow! [Any criticism of him is] just a pack of lies! You know, Caleb's anti-racist, Caleb's anti-imperialist. Caleb, you know, Caleb is one of the smartest, most well-informed people about Marxism I've ever heard. People LOVE my lectures and all of that! Now spanking isn't just my deep dark personal secret, It's America's deep dark secret... Caleb "Borger King" Maupin (1988–) is an American Nazbol  "Patriotic socialist", cult leader, and frequent contributor to RT. His career started during the Occupy Wall Street protests, but has since become many tankie's journalist-of-choice to cite for arguments.

Early years
Maupin appears to have gotten his start in the late 2000s with the Workers World Party; among the earliest accounts of his activism is a puff piece in the WWP's newspaper about a college debate he took part in. .

Russian connections
In 2018, Maupin attended the "Alternatives to Globalization Conference" also attended by Aleksandr Dugin, an infamous "National Bolshevik" (i.e. Russian third-positionist of sorts) and (a prominent cultural assimilationist ideology among Russian conservatives). Dugin, in turn, has connections to numerous Russian government officials through his organization, the International Eurasian Movement. Maupin's attendance at the conference, seated next to Dugin, and Dugin's apparent approval of Maupin's statements are the most glaring reason that some label Maupin himself a "red-brown."

Also worth noting is Maupin's involvement in the Center for Political Innovation, which will be discussed in its own section.
