'''The Roundtable''' is the recurring Infrared debate/discussion program bringing together figures across the online political spectrum — Marxist, right-wing, libertarian, and heterodox guests — for long-form moderated debate hosted by Haz Al-Din.

== Format and significance ==
* Multi-hour discussions on war, economics, culture, and strategy; notable sessions covered Ukraine, Israel-Palestine, the 2024 election, and intra-left splits.
* Served as the principal venue where MAGA Communism debated rival tendencies (online leftists, paleo-libertarians, NRx-adjacent figures).
* The format embodies Infrared's polemical method: no safe spaces, direct confrontation of lines, theory tested against opponents in real time.
