Caleb is 100% not a rightist. Just watch his youtube channel, hes outspoken about LGBT rights and liberation for the black and indigenous nations. When they say they are against “land back”, they arent saying that indigenous people arent oppressed or dont deserve their land back. What they are saying is that “land back” is an incorrect solution to the problem. Rather, they propose land reform to solve the problem, redistribution of land from the rich white bourgeoisie to poor proletarians, which ofc includes blacks and natives. I personally support land back and disagree with their position, but its important to actually understand what they are really saying because its often misrepresented by morons in the debate bro scene.
Haz does have certain rightist positions (mainly relating LGBT struggles and weird shit he says about “degenerates” which i really dont understand). Nevertheless, he is a committed marxist leninist and antiimperialist and is very well read, he knows a lot about marxism. He 100% did not say the USA is socialist, i can guarantee you that. He also does not support the republicans. Its true that he supported Trump in the 2016 election, but that was the right move imo. Trumps platform claimed to be antiwar, and the alternative was fkin Hillary Clinton. In the end Trump turned out to be an establishment sellout, which is why Haz doesnt support him anymore. He especially despises him due to him ordering the criminal assassination of Qassem Soleimani. Its true though that he supports certain antiwar libertarian republicans like Rand Paul, but thats just because of antiimperialism, and i think its the right choice. If the USA were to withdraw its worldwide military bases and stop all these wars, as Rand Paul and other republicans propose, it would be a good thing for everyone, especially the global south. Also reminder that Haz is arab (he is lebanese), so to say that hes a white supremacist is ridiculous.
I used to be a fan of Infrared, and I used to think that he had potential and he was just somewhat misguided but his heart and mind were probably in the right place.
Then he started spouting off alt-reich rhetoric about “soyboys” and “real communists are conservative”, then he sneered at landback (in a non-marxist sense) and denied that the U.S. was built on genocide and then called the Mughal empire “socialist” and I grew sick and tired and angry at him as his bootlicking fanbase started to worship him and agree with his alt-reich talking points and him being critical of actually existing socialism.
Haz is a grifter and a reactionary in disguise and a cracker pos.
What? How is he critical of AES? He literally supports all AES states and praises them! I do agree that he uses some weird alt right rhethoric sometimes (i literally mentioned it in the comment you are responding to), and i dont like it and it should be criticized and called out. But this is nowhere near enough to say that “hes a nazbol/fascist”. At the end of the day, hes an antiimperialist, he supports China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, DPRK, Vietnam, etc, and this at a time when most people are actively rooting for war against Russia and China. Imperialism is the primary contradiction of our era, the rest is secondary for now. We need everyone who supports antiimperialism to be united with us in a broad antiimperialist front, just like Stalin did in the 1930s. Stalin created the Popular Fronts in Europe, uniting all antifascist forces, from liberals to MLs. Ofc liberals are reactionary, but they were included in the front anyway because the big threat at the time was fascism. Same with US imperialism nowadays, we must unite all antiimperialist forces in one front. And that includes Haz and other “patsocs”. I agree, their wrong positions should be criticized, but we must not exclude them from the communist movement. We are living in critical times, unity among the left is essential.
Oh so one quote is all it takes to be alt right. Great marxist analysis, full of materialism and rational thought. Marx would be truly proud. I guess i didnt know alt righters supported China, Russia, Cuba, Vietnam, Syria, Iran and other AES and antiimperialist countries, while also advocating for socialism in the USA. My bad.
Now comes the part where you call me a fascist and an american chauvinist (even though im literally a spaniard with no relation to the USA whatsoever). Come on, finish your “brilliant marxist analysis”.
No shit genius, ofc a russian nationalist will support Russia in a war. What a nonsense statement wtf. I agree, as i already said, i dont support him using the occasional alt right rhethoric, i think its wrong. But that doesnt make him a fascist.

“When real socialists take power, it will be the manly conservatives, not the soyboys leftists in communists today.”
You make it seem like Infrared and his followers have something to offer or meaningful contribution or aren’t alt-reich rejects.
Oh so one quote is all it takes to be alt right. Great marxist analysis, full of materialism and rational thought. Marx would be truly proud. I guess i didnt know alt righters supported China, Russia, Cuba, Vietnam, Syria, Iran and other AES and antiimperialist countries, while also advocating for socialism in the USA. My bad.

I was providing evidence. Now you’re moving the goalposts.
An unfortunate amount of right-wing Russian nationalists and monarchists support Russia against Ukraine.
Yet Infrared still courts the alt-right, despite there being no tactical reason for doing so.
No shit genius, ofc a russian nationalist will support Russia in a war. What a nonsense statement wtf. I agree, as i already said, i dont support him using the occasional alt right rhethoric, i think its wrong. But that doesnt make him a fascist.
I never said Infrared was a fascist, I said he was an alt-right reject.
I said russian monarchists and ethnonationalists unfortunately support Russia, distinct types of nationalists. Its not a nonsense statement.
