MAGA Communism is a meme from the Infrared community that took Twitter by storm by trending. Many people on Twitter were confused, calling it a contradictory mix of left and right. In fact, the meme is drawing attention to the absurdity and shallowness of the supposed left-right spectrum which has lost all meaning. The true divide is anti-hegemonic (to which the working class base of MAGA belongs) vs hegemonic (the American unipolar empire and globalism). The core of this divide has always been class struggle.
