Tbf maga is already authoritarian, it the Republican party lmao. And I wouldn't worry too much over Magacommunism and patsoc nonsense, its all extremely internet shit. All their real world attempts to make a party or to infiltrate actual parties just keep failing and I seriously doubt they'll make the republican party any worse than it already is
famous last words. the internet is always leaking into real life. a white supremacist radicalized on 4chan published a 100 page manifesto full of pepe the frog and "happy merchant" memes before shooting up a supermarket full of black people just earlier this year.
Fair enough, thats very true. I just dont think that the appropriation of Marxist language by patsocs is nearly as attractive to reactionaries as just outright anti-communism and nazism. Most racists dont need a "dialectical materialist" argument to excuse being racist.
Basically Im saying Maga is far far more dangerous than Magacommunism
"National Socialism" was just fascists pretending they were gonna do redistribution of wealth .
"MAGA communism" will be the same thing if it takes off. It's meant to siphon off people who are economically alienated and ripe for class consciousness but easily swayed by reactionary scapegoat narratives targeting women, LGBT, ethnic and religious minorities, immigration, etc.
TL;DR "MAGA communism" is just MAGA in a coat of socialist paint.
Right, they're authoritarian, but they never say that they are. But yeah its just the intersection of a bunch of grifters, and D.C. operators who might be trying to pull probably 9 different online psyops

So what is to be done?
Not to mention that the Alt Right started as Gamergate
