MAGACommunism is an opportunist and tailist online slogan that calls for the ideological unification of Marxists and the reactionary capitalist Trumpist movement that is promoted largely by Statesian patriotic socialists and other social-chauvinists.[1][2][3][4] So-called "MAGA Communists" have promoted conspiracy theories, racism, and anti-Semitism in order to appeal to right-wing Christian nationalists.[5]
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-small business" stance which echoes Strasser's "guild socialism".
