Maga isn't communist is corrupted capitalism. Words have meaning and they should be used appropriately.
MAGA communism, or patriotic-socialists in a broader sense, are self-described communists who try to appeal to far-right.
They broadly dismiss anything that's not purely a fight for workers as a distraction, so they're pretty queerphobic & misogynistic, and depending on the flavor they can also be xenophobic.
One of the key figures of the modern movement is Haz with his Infrared collective (which you can see on the meme).
Pretty much every single communist movement reject their ideology, so you're most likely to find them trying to get cozy with the far right, and they get booted from pretty much every leftist platform ranging from reddit to lemmygrad. Even Shining Path apologists get treated with (just a tad) less disdain
we do have a word for it. that's what we call fascism.
