Revision as of 23:14, 20 July 2022
Infrared is a media collective led by Haz, a self-described Marxist-Leninist based in Detroit, MI, USA.
As of 2022, the channel has about 20,000 subscribers, and over 2,000,000 views.[1] His community is based on a mixture of Marxism-Leninism, Populism, and Esotericism.[2]
The Infrared community has popularized the Twitter hashtag and internet meme CPUSA 2036 which describes their aim to take control of the CPUSA, remove its revisionist component, and win in the 2036 presidential election.[3]
Reactionary sympathies
Haz and his community hold many "socially conservative views," upholding the American Revolution as a force of anti-imperialism, and rapidly inherited the vestiges of the empire in the aftermath of WWII, when British capital was used to subvert the American republic through transnational and unconstitutional institutions,[4] and taking a heavily unorthodox approach to disseminating ideology, most commonly adopting esoteric jargon like "mecha-tankies" and "Stalinist Futurism" to distinguish themselves and their positions from what they consider to be the "Baizuo" and the "synthetic left."[5]
