Haz Al-Din

Haz Al-Din (Arabic: حظ الدين, romanized: Ḥaẓ āl-Dīn; born 1996) is a pseudonymous American political commentator and activist who has served as the inaugural chairman of the American Communist Party (ACP) since 2024. He is active as a livestreamer 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 claims to be a supporter of Marxism–Leninism with particular admiration for the Soviet Union, contemporary Russia, and China. He is critical of positions across the political spectrum, particularly liberalism. Al-Din 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 labeled as reactionary, anti-LGBTQ, anti-feminist, and anti-environmentalist, labels which Al-Din denies.

Al-Din and fellow political commentator Jackson Hinkle are closely associated with MAGA Communism, which Al-Din 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. Alexander Reid Ross has described MAGA Communism as a fringe movement that attempts to blend populist rhetoric with socialist terminology. In 2024, Al-Din and Hinkle founded the ACP.
