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 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 BreadTubers like Vaush. This kind of philosophical illness is directly opposed to the dialectical method of Marx, Engels, Lenin and the other prominent marxist-leninist thinkers. [1]
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.[2]
Questions of philosophy are also covered by Infrared streams.[3]
Infrared has interviewed Grover Furr, the author of Khrushchev Lied.[4]
