Haz Al-Din

Haz Al-Din (Arabic: حظ الدين, romanized: Ḥaẓ āl-Dīn; born 1996) is a pseudonymous American live streamer, political commentator, and activist. He is active on YouTube, Twitch, and Kick under the Infrared brand, which he uses for political discussion and debates.

Al-Din espouses left-conservative, left-populist, and illiberal views, and is a supporter of Marxism–Leninism with particular admiration for the Soviet Union and China. He is fiercely critical of positions across the political spectrum, particularly liberalism.

He is known for his harsh, confrontational, and often provocative public image, with Infrared growing in notoriety through debates, aggressive rants about his political views, and clashes with both audience members and fellow political influencers. Some of the views espoused by Al-Din on Infrared have been described as reactionary, anti-LGBTQ, anti-feminist, and anti-environmentalist.

Al-Din is closely associated with MAGA Communism, which he describes as a strategy which attempts to consolidate the MAGA base away from "false consciousness" and towards communism. The strategy has attracted controversy, with critics labeling it an opportunistic rebranding of communism to appeal to disaffected conservatives. The Guardian has described MAGA Communism as a fringe movement that attempts to blend populist rhetoric with socialist terminology.

Al-Din also serves as the founding chairman of the American Communist Party and leads the Institute for a Free America think tank.
