Caleb Maupin

In this episode, Caleb Maupin, a widely acclaimed speaker, writer, journalist, and political analyst discusses Muammar Gaddafi’s Green Book, the implications of US-sponsored regime change operations abroad, the shift of leftist politics and the demonisation of populism within the left. Maupin offers a rich history of the left within the west elaborating how class politics have been eroded by the rich and the ultra-rich, to include a stunning analysis of what Maupin calls a “country club attitude” of the wealthy class. Discussing US party politics, Maupin examines the greater problems of neoliberal capitalism and why the left needs to return to class analysis to include dialoguing with the working class on both sides of the aisle while stepping away from the liberal culture wars.
