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 .
