Revision as of 23:18, 4 December 2023
MAGA Communism[Note 1] is a neo-fascist, alt-right subset of patriotic socialism and online slogan that calls for the ideological unification of "Marxists" (as defined by them) and the reactionary capitalist Trumpist movement and is grounded in opportunist and tailist positions.[1][2][3][4] Promoters of this "movement" enjoy no basis or support in reality and are entirely confined to online spaces, including alt-tech platforms.
So-called "MAGA Communists" have promoted and root their views in conspiracy theories, racism, anti-intellectualism, and anti-Semitism in order to appeal to other members of the far-right.[5]
Description
The slogan appeared in August 2022 on Twitter.[citation needed] Its most notable promoters are Jackson Hinkle and Infrared, whose rhetoric concerning this slogan has inspired a small online clique of "MAGA Communist" propagandists 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.
MAGA Communism can be compared to Strasserism due to their mutual opposition to finance capital, "globalists," and their "pro-small business" effectively echoing Strasser's "guild socialism".
