Strasserism — the "socialist" wing of early Nazism around Gregor and Otto Strasser — is the recurring smear against MAGA Communism, and Haz Al-Din's answer defines the line of division.

The smear

From the TRUE RED PILL NEWS stream: a University of Houston SJP student who checked out the ACP was told "it's a Strasserite." Haz's reaction: "What the fuck is teaching these people what Strasserite means?... follow up on that, how the fuck are we a Strasserite party?"

Why the smear fails

  • The Strassers' "socialism" was anti-Jewish anti-capitalism: capital personified as Jewish, liberation as removal of Jews. Infrared's anti-capitalism names finance as class relation (Wall Street, monopoly, rent), never as ethnicity — and its coalition explicitly includes Muslim, Arab, and Jewish communists on an anti-Zionist, not antisemitic, basis.
  • The Strassers operated inside a movement that murdered the labor movement (Robert Ley's DAF); MAGA Communism builds independent working-class organization (American Communist Party).
  • The accusation itself is a debate tactic: tar patriotic socialism with the one historical case where "socialism" went fascist, to foreclose the synthesis in advance (Red-Fascism, Nazi-Maoism).
