'''MAGA Communism''' is a meme that [[Infrared]] used to demonstrate its position relative to the [[political spectrum]]. The concept is initially confusing due to the seeming contradiction between right-wing [[MAGA]] and [[Left-wing_politics|left-wing]] [[Communism]]. The confusion is intentional, as Infrared maintains that real political difference exists outside of the traditional political spectrum, in the realm of the [[partisan]].<ref>[https://showinfrared.substack.com/p/the-rise-of-maga-communism THE RISE OF MAGA COMMUNISM] by [[Infrared]] on [[Substack]]</ref><ref name=":0">[https://youtu.be/wXORmlW3y7I Why The Bourgeoisie Fears Trump (MAGA & Leninism) - Infrared Show Clip] by [[Talonsight]]</ref>
'''MAGACommunism''' is an [[Opportunism|opportunist]] and [[Tailism|tailist]] online slogan that calls for the ideological unification of [[Marxism|Marxists]] and the [[reactionary]] [[Capitalism|capitalist]] [[Trumpism|Trumpist]] movement that is promoted largely by [[Statesian]] [[patriotic socialists]] and other social-chauvinists.<ref>{{Web citation|author=Danny Haiphong|newspaper=[[Black Agenda Report]]|title=A Final Word on “MAGA Communism” and Social Conservatism|date=2022-9-21|url=https://www.blackagendareport.com/final-word-maga-communism-and-social-conservatism|retrieved=2022-9-21}}</ref><ref>{{Web citation|author=Haz Al-Din|newspaper=[[Infrared]]|title=THE RISE OF MAGA COMMUNISM|date=2022-9-18|url=https://showinfrared.substack.com/p/the-rise-of-maga-communism?sd=pf|retrieved=2022-9-22}}</ref><ref>{{Web citation|author=[[Infrared]]|newspaper=Youtube|title=MAGA Communism Taking America by STORM|date=2022-9-19|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kRbwJYPB6s|retrieved=2022-9-21}}</ref><ref>{{Web citation|author=[[Infrared]]|newspaper=Youtube|title=A Guide to MAGA COMMUNISM|date=2022-9-13|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LrOJjRaNvQ|retrieved=2022-9-21}}</ref> So-called "MAGA Communists" have promoted [[Conspiracy theory|conspiracy theories]], [[racism]], and [[anti-Semitism]] in order to appeal to right-wing [[Christianity|Christian]] [[Nationalism|nationalists]].<ref>{{Web citation|author=Alfonso Casal|newspaper=[[The Red Phoenix]]|title=Editorial: On “Patriotic Socialism” and “MAGA Communism”|date=2022-09-22|url=https://theredphoenixapl.org/2022/09/22/editorial-on-patriotic-socialism-and-maga-communism/|retrieved=2022-09-22}}</ref>


Infrared community members caused #MAGACommunism to trend on Twitter. This caused a great coping of leftists who claimed that anyone who mentioned communism to a MAGA supporter would be considered a "freak" and ridiculed. <ref>https://twitter.com/ab0lishICE/status/1570545848890851328</ref> <ref>https://imgur.com/a/z595Zex</ref> [[Haz Al-Din]] of Infrared disproved this theory by speaking at a MAGA rally to a mostly positive reception. <ref>''[https://youtu.be/kf9ucXmA9gE When a Communist Attends a Trump Rally...]'' by [[Infrared]] on [[YouTube]]</ref> This form of meme warfare is an example of a [[hyperstition]].  
== 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.


According to Haz, "MAGA is an incipient form of American socialism."<ref name=":0" /><ref>[https://youtu.be/BO2PHjetpq8 The Meaning of Marxism-Leninism]</ref> He also claims MAGA is an empty signifier -- something that hasn't been given a concrete form or meaning yet.
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.


On March 1st, 2023, Ben Burgis and Haz debated MAGA Communism.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/MJizJqJwrZ4?feature=share DEBATE with BEN BURGIS: MAGA COMMUNISM vs. LIBERALISM] by Infrared on YouTube</ref>
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".
