== Marxism-Leninism in the Age of Multi-Polarity and the Post-COVID World == 
The main thesis of Infrared is that there has been a major translation error in communicating the experiences of 20th century [[Communism|Communist]] history to Western [[Leftism|leftists]]. Beginning with the October revolution, Western thought has failed to appreciate the significance of [[Communism]] as a real and objective historical phenomena, rather than a mere theory or idea.

According to Infrared, this reflects a historical antithesis between Western and non-Western societies, which has deep historical origins. The main contention Infrared has with all hitherto importations of Marxism-Leninism in Western contexts is that Marxism-Leninism was reduced to an ideological doctrine, rather than an index of objective historical experiences to be applied practically.

The most pressing issue facing Western Communists is to confront the failure of Marxism-Leninism to be successfully synthesized in the Western context. To that end, Infrared draws from a diverse array of thinkers in order to help clarify the true nature of the 'translation error.' 

The significance of these thinkers lies not in following their questionable political commitments, as in the case of Heidegger, but studying the various ways they attempted to (and failed) to grasp the unique challenges facing Western thinking as a whole.

According to Infrared, the theoretical contributions of Marxist-Leninist statesmen and thinkers, regarded by Western academics and vogue 'Marxians' as simplistic and vulgar, represent an integral historical brilliance, genius, and wisdom that only the most advanced conceptual apparatuses available to the Western mind can properly comprehend.

With the rise of [[multipolarity]] and the end of 500 years of Western hegemony, a comprehensive re-examination of the basic assumptions of Western thinking and the way this thinking has obscured the study of Marxism-Leninism is necessary. Additionally, with the rise of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and what certainly appears to be the transition into a new mode of production, Marxism-Leninism must ultimately be re-synthesized in a way that fully appreciates a now uncharted and new historical era.
