OnlySubs Episode 91: Don’t Blame Metal for Rust is now available exclusively for New Discourses contributors on the following platforms: Locals Patreon Subscribestar YouTube Members Thinkspot It’s a very popular trope on the reactionary right that Marxism, Communism, Wokeness, or what-have-you in the world of progressive Leftist excesses is the logical endpoint of liberalism. This is, in my opinion, about as insightful as saying that rust is the logical endpoint of metal, and therefore the cause of the corrosion is the metal itself rather than the failure to maintain a good thing that requires maintenance. I think this is important to …

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 74 Critical Education Theory Series, Part 10 Here on the New Discourses Podcast, we are deep into our sprawling series on Critical Education Theory (Critical Pedagogy) and the Identity Marxist corruption of our schools, and at the same time, we’re still being gaslighted about whether or not Critical Race Theory is even present in American schools. In this episode of the podcast, James Lindsay reads through part of an academic paper from 2006 about incorporating Critical Race Theory and Whiteness Studies into literacy education in second-grade classrooms. That’s seven-year-olds. The point is clear: almost all of …

At present, schools throughout North America are reproducing the youth radicalization program utilized by Communist dictator Mao Zedong. They’re doing this by combining Critical Race Theory, Gender Theory (gender ideology), Queer Theory, and the other Critical Theories of Identity (Identity Marxism) to funnel kids into politically active, radical and revolutionary personal identities. They’re doing it because it works: Marxism is the what, and Maoism is the how. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, James Lindsay condenses the argument in his popular Groomer Schools 3 podcast: The Creation of an American Red Guard to explain Mao’s strategy to radicalize and mobilize the youth against …

OnlySubs Episode 90: Marxism Is Regressive is now available exclusively for New Discourses contributors on the following platforms: Locals Patreon Subscribestar YouTube Members Thinkspot Progressives love to paint up Marxism as progressive. Marxists base their entire worldview on the idea that their philosophy is progressive too: the world is becoming more human through their efforts and the application of their Theory (praxis). The thing is, Marxism isn’t progressive at all. It’s regressive on a profound level and merely pretends to be progressive. This is what led it to behave in ways that through the last half of the 2010s got Woke Marxism branded “Regressive …

School choice is an important component not only of liberty and improving educational outcomes but also of defeating the Woke Marxist influence in our schools and upon our children. It isn’t so easy as making the money follow the child or the backpack however. School choice legislation has to be smart, and it has some challenges in need of clever solutions before we blunder ahead into a trap the Woke Marxists are setting for us. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, James Lindsay spends a few minutes breaking down the challenges and pitfalls of bad school choice policy by …

We hear about equity all the time but are rarely told that it’s shorthand for Social Equity, or even “Critical Social Equity.” We also hear all the time about Social Justice, which is sometimes referred to as Critical Social Justice. What are these concepts, though? In Woke Marxism, they are the rebranding of Socialism (Social Equity) and Communism (Social Justice), meant to be achieved through Critical Theory. That’s it. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, James Lindsay explains Karl Marx’s conception of the evolution of Socialism into Communism and then shows how the terms “equity” and “Social Justice” as …

OnlySubs Episode 89: A Treatise on Kayfabe is now available exclusively for New Discourses contributors on the following platforms: Locals Patreon Subscribestar YouTube Members Thinkspot Kayfabe is an interesting concept. It’s easiest to explain by saying that it’s the phenomenon in what Americans refer to as professional wrestling, a dramatic spectacle involving wrestling techniques but that’s completely scripted (indeed, it’s like a testosterone-driven soap opera). In that arena, both the performers and a significant percentage of the audience know what’s happening is a scripted performance, but they dutifully play their parts in pretending it’s real for the sake of the spectacle. …

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 71 Critical Education Theory Series, Part 7 Just as we have learned here on the New Discourses Podcast that we live in Herbert Marcuse’s world today (and that’s why it’s so messed up), we also need to understand that our children all go to Paulo Freire’s schools. Therefore, we have to spend some time getting to know Paulo Freire and his approach to education, now called Critical Pedagogy or Critical Education Theory, and we need to know it deeply. To serve that goal, the New Discourses Podcast has undertaken a long series on Critical Education …
