It looks like a bunch of nerds trying to merge a communist political movement with nationalist symbols in a haphazard way. That black, blue, and red flag is the Donetsk breakaway republic and the Z is a commonly used symbol of the Russian Federation's army. It's pro-Russian, (not Soviet) stuff. That big sculpture in the back is Abraham Lincoln, America's 16th president (1861 to 1865). It looks like it's a smaller replica of a Lincoln head the original American Communist Party would use at some of their events. The other flags being used are the USSR's together with the American.
basically it's a complete gibberish mess. It's some kind of project by that guy Caleb Maupin and my guess is it's just a method to get more public speaking jobs rather than a serious political project

Caleb has been publicly advocating for socialist and anti-imperialist causes for over a decade. Please look him up instead of so flippantly dismissing his work and insinuating that he's a sellout. Public speaking jobs? If he was looking to get paid he'd find it much more lucrative talking about something else.
Ok lemme look him up. "American patriot" in twitter bio. And lemme read a little bit more... Wow, ok this guy is a complete crank, moreso than I originally believed. Thank you for suggesting I research him and I hope I never hear his name again. Goodbye
Thanks for sharing, I hadn't heard of this before.
You follow some of these people for a while and appreciate what they have to say about socialism and anti-imperialism, then later find out that they advocate for some contemptible ideas. It's difficult to reconcile the two... ignorance is bliss.
No problem comrade, if it helps I also used to like some of Caleb Maupin's anti-imperialist takes, what turned me off him was a video he did platforming a TERF and claiming it was okay because they were both against "transgender ideology" and not individual transpeople. I didn't find out about the antisemitism until later.

Edit: Never mind, this guy is horrible.

Didn't he write a book that was pretty much "the JEWS" with all the references of "the JEWS" find/replaced with something less obviously bad?
Yeah, "Satan at the Fountainhead", amongst other things it pins the blame of Ayn Rand's views squarely on her Jewish heritage.
