Logo of InfraWiki, a combination of the Wikipedia and Infrared logos

InfraWiki is a neo-fascist and "MAGA Communist" wiki founded in October 2022 by supporters of Infrared.[1] It was created and maintained by adherents of the patriotic socialist movement in the United States, after ProleWiki strictly opposed this movement and purged patriotic socialists who attempted to infiltrate it.[2][3] Although it supports socialist leaders such as Joseph Stalin[4] and socialist states like the Soviet Union[5] and the People's Republic of China,[6] InfraWiki nonetheless upholds reactionaries such as Donald Trump,[7][8] RFK Jr.,[9] Viktor Orbán,[8] and the MAGA movement, which it views as pro-working class and anti-imperialist, ignoring its far-right and pro-imperialist policies. InfraWiki contains a number of bigoted statements about women and LGBT+ people,[10][11] and has established accounts on the alt-tech social media platforms TruthSocial and Parler.[12]

Political positions[edit | edit source]

Anti-LGBT bigotry and misogyny[edit | edit source]

InfraWiki contains sexist and anti-LGBT statements and believes the LGBT community is counterrevolutionary.[10] It refers to "transgenderism" as a psychological disorder.[11] Its page on Nazism claims without any sources that Hitler was a "homosexual anarchist" who used xie/xir pronouns and contains an unsourced quote allegedly from Stalin calling Nazism "gay."[13]

Racism and police apologia[edit | edit source]

InfraWiki claims that Black Lives Matter is a "domestic terrorist organization" and money laundering scheme as well as a front organization secretly operated by the Democratic Party and FBI.[14] They also deny the racist murder of George Floyd by police and claim that the protests in response to his murder were "terrorist attacks" targeting "LEOs and White Americans".[15] They almost entirely use Fox News articles and "dissident right" Twitter accounts for sourcing.

Sourcing[edit | edit source]

InfraWiki often uses unreliable sources to back up its claims — sources which would never be taken seriously in any formal setting. Some of the sources which InfraWiki uses include but are not limited to Telegram posts,[16] Twitter posts,[17] Quora answers,[16] and pop history videos on YouTube.[18] In addition, it recommends that its editors visit Conservapedia (which is itself infamous for its lack of reliability) and KeyWiki (an anti-communist doxxing site) in order to find sources to back up their claims.[19]

For "reliable sources", InfraWiki recommends far-right conspiracy theory propaganda like InfoWars and islamophobic outlets like Jihad Watch as "always reliable" sources.[20]

    The PRC has often been accused of genocide against the Uyghur Muslim ethnic group in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in the northwest. This is largely a conspiracy theory, as life in Xinjiang has been proven to be prosperous and peaceful.

    Many in the west have accused China of debt-trapping Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) members in Africa. This has been disproven, as China has forgiven billions [of dollars'] worth of debt to 17 different countries.
