InfraWiki[note 1] is a far-right "MAGA Communist" hate blog founded in October 2022 by the community of the patriotic socialist streamer group Infrared.[1] The site maintains virulently hateful and conspirationalist views, and has largely removed itself from Marxism entirely.
History
Founding
InfraWiki was founded in late 2022 by a user named WikiSysop, with another user by the name of Comrade Banana being similarly active in the beginnings.[1] InfraWiki was first announced on October 4th, 2022, and was made accessible as a website later that month. Its main editors are largely followers of the Infrared media collective.[2]
Some suspect WikiSysop to be Jucheguevara, a disgruntled ex-administrator of ProleWiki who was banned from the project citing his right-wing deviations.
Later events
Around new year's eve of 2022-2023, InfraWiki was heavily vandalized by a number of different online groups, allegedly including ProleWiki editors,[3] Left-communists from the "Revolutionary Technical Committee", and Hoxhaists who coordinated their actions on Discord.[4][5] Following this event, the sole administrator of InfraWiki, WikiSysOp, completely prohibited editing of the site for a week, and would only later allow editing rights again, albeit to less than a dozen editors who were hand-picked by the administrator.[3] Despite these measures, the site remains a persistent target of vandalism, largely because of its hateful views.[6]
Structure
Social media
InfraWiki has accounts on many media platforms, including the alt-right sites TruthSocial and Parler. InfraWiki's accounts have often faced banning or other restrictions due to the prevalence of reactionism, at times to the extent of hate speech, found in their rhetoric.[7]
Ideology
InfraWiki, like its parent organization, Infrared, espouses third-positionist and other reactionary ideology, claiming to both reject the "CIA's Synthetic Left, who are ultra-leftists" and the right-wing groupings of "fiscal conservatism" and "neoconservatism". Despite this, InfraWiki mostly takes traditionally far-right positions. They reject the land-back, LGBTQ+, and feminist movements entirely as a plot by the "deep state" for the "feminization of the working masses".[8] They also adopt transphobic positions, claiming that "transgenderism" is a "mental disorder".[9]
InfraWiki supports so-called "actually existing socialism" — that being China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, and North Korea — as well as the modern Russian Federation as an "anti-imperialist" power. However, they also view Nazism is being a form of Socialism.[10] The site itself acts as a means to augment the current personality cults venerating Patriotic socialist figures such as Caleb Maupin and Haz Al-Din, with their respective works and views on matters being regularly quoted and otherwise metioned in their articles.
