InfraWiki[note 1] is a far-right "MAGA Communist" hate blog founded in October 2022 by banned members of ProleWiki.[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 ProleWiki administrator Jucheguevara[2][note 2] following his ban from the latter site after his attempts at subverting it were discovered and its resultant rejection of Patriotic socialism and "MAGA Communism", of which were persuasions Jucheguevara adhered to.[1] InfraWiki was first announced on October 4th, 2022, and was made accessible as a website later that months. Its main editors are largely banned Patriotic socialist members of ProleWiki and followers of the Infrared media collective.[3]

Later events

Around new year's eve of 2022-2023, InfraWiki was heavily vandalized by a number of different online groups, including ProleWiki editors,[4] Left-communists from the "Revolutionary Technical Committee", and Hoxhaists who coordinated their actions on Discord.[5][6] Following this event, the sole administrator of InfraWiki, Jucheguevara, 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.[4] Despite these measures, the site remains a persistent target of vandalism, largely because of its hateful views.[7]

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.[8]

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".[9] They also adopt transphobic positions, claiming that "transgenderism" is a "mental disorder".[10]

Similar to ProleWiki, 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.[11] 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.
