| == Description ==
| |
| The slogan appeared in August 2022 on [[Twitter]]. Its most notable promoters are [[Jackson Hinkle]] and [[Infrared]], whose rhetoric concerning this slogan has inspired a small online clique of "MAGACommunist" propaganists and trolls to emerge, largely from their respective followers.
| |
| | |
| While this clique is highly vocal, it has convinced very few people, and remains entirely internet-based. Their social media strategy is to spam content, no matter how nonsensical, to create virality through engagement and the illusion of popularity. It has yet to be organized in an actual political party or have its theory practiced.
| |
| | |
| MAGACommunism can be compared to [[Strasserism]] due to their mutual opposition to finance capital, "globalists," and their "pro-[[Petty bourgeoisie|small business]]" stance which echoes Strasser's "guild socialism".

| | It began as a meme with a corresponding hashtag, #MAGACommunism in order to replace the previous Infrared aesthetic of [[Patriotic Socialism]]. It has since grown into a meaningful movement.<ref>''[https://youtu.be/kf9ucXmA9gE When a Communist Attends a Trump Rally...]'' by [[Infrared]] on [[YouTube]]</ref> |
