'''Infrared''', officially '''The Infrared Collective''', is a media collective and internet community led by political streamer [[Haz]]. Its main output is the '''Infrared Show''', which has been censored by Twitch but is still available on [[YouTube]]. This wiki project, [[InfraWiki]], intends to become a knowledge base for the Infrared community.

The community has joined alongside other ideologists and journalists such as [[Caleb Maupin]] and [[Jackson Hinkle]] in criticizing the ineffectiveness of the [[Synthetic Left]] in the [[United States]], while promoting genuine proletarian culture in a [[Marxism-Leninism|Marxist-Leninist]] fashion.
== Content ==
One of the core tenets of Infrared's theories is that most communists, in the west, miss the sense of objectivity that made Eastern marxists successful. The reason for this is that most communists undialectically assume, often unconsciously, that the contradiction that gives rise to socialism and communism is between the world and its injustices and the socialist/communist experiencing this, while a principled Marxist position would be that the contradiction is inner to the object itself. Instead of trying to understand the material reality of the people, which is the basis of every communist state, western communists are stuck in an abstract idealized form of it.
 
Another idea of the Infrared collective is that western thinking cannot understand the deeper truth of [[Marxism-Leninism]] because of its origins in cartesianism, and that it's only through thinkers like Heidegger (and others influenced by him like Kojève and Dugin) that marxist-leninist experiences can be truly understood in the west.
 
The infrared collective came up with the idea of [[Anglo Box]], which refers to a way of thinking, mostly related to English philosophy, that consists in the reduction of the meaning of words to a fixed form, like a dictionary definition, which leads to the dogmatic thinking of [[BreadTube|BreadTubers]] like [[Vaush]]. This kind of philosophical illness is directly opposed to the dialectical method of [[Karl Marx|Marx]], [[Friedrich Engels|Engels]], [[Vladimir Lenin|Lenin]] and the other prominent marxist-leninist thinkers. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxGIdrXAGyw&t=140s Vaush knows NOTHING about socialism] - youtube</ref>
 
Following the assassination of [[Daria Dugina]], Haz delivered a video essay explaining the ideology of Dugin, defending his legacy against accusations of being a "fascist" as he's described by the Western corporate media and the [[Synthetic Left]].<ref>''[https://youtu.be/bXjkJrk7y98 Aleksandr Dugin: The Most Misunderstood Man in the World]'' by [[Infrared]]
