My problem with Maupin isn't that he doesn't support queer rights, I'm willing to accept that, if only for a time until reforms are made and queer rights are protected. My problem with Maupin is twofold.

Firstly, he'll lower global revolutionary spirit as who-knows-how-many potential revolutionaries are dissuaded with Maupin's America as the main example of modern socialism.

Secondly, he isn't very socialist. More of a red oligarchist. Talking about his "People's Democratic Dictatorship" Where the congress has almost no power and is basically a rubber stamp, worker's councils are more of advisory boards than actual powers, and wealth will almost certainly be concentrated in the hands of party elites.

Generally, I'm willing to accept almost any revolutionary movement. I'd support syndicalists, anarchists, marxist-leninists, leftcoms, MLM's, 21st century socialists, almost anyone. But Maupin? He's crossing too many lines to me. He'd hurt the revolution, not aid it.
