The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 117 Intersectionality is a Woke standard, but what is it? Where does it come from? The history of the concept isnât that hard to trace, and where it leads us is back to some of the worst regimes in history. Kim Crenshaw tends to be credited with Intersectionality, but she got it from the radicals in the Combahee River Collective. They put the idea together, in their turn, from the advocacy and activism of Herbert Marcuse. Marcuse was copying Mao, who was completing ideas laid down by Stalin for completing the perfect …

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 43 Mao Zedong wanted to thought-reform, that is, brainwash, the whole Chinese population, and he had a formula for doing it: âUnity â Criticism â Unity.â That is, he sought to induce in people a âdesire for unityâ so they would join his socialistic cult, and then once that desire was strong enough, criticism and struggle sessions would begin to cement adherence. Finally, through criticism, struggle, and study, unity with the socialist cult would be achieved. This model of cult programming might sound remote, but it isnât. Itâs the backbone of what we all experience in the American Cultural Revolution in DEI, …

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 111 Woke is a cult. In fact, Woke is a cult in exactly the same way Maoism was and is a cult. Thereâs only a little daylight between them, as we recently explored here on the New Discourses Podcast. Ideological cults like Woke and Maoism operate in an environment Robert Jay Lifton labeled âideological totalism,â which he described in depth in his book Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: A Study of âBrainwashingâ in China. In one of the later chapters of that book, Lifton details eight characteristics of ideological totalism, and …

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 110 Itâs time to be plain. Actually, itâs long past time. Whatâs happening in America today and throughout the West is a Maoist cultural revolution, just like happened in China under the CCP from 1966 to 1976. This is plain to see for those who know what to look for, from the struggle sessions, to the ideological totalism, to the separation of families, to the brainwashing in schools, to the destruction of statues, curriculum, and culture. If we are to have any hope of stopping this Maoist Cultural Revolution with American Characteristics, …

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 104 One of the most famous and most evil techniques of Maoist Marxism is the âstruggle sessionâ (dĂČuzhÄng, 鏄ç; or pÄ«pĂ n dĂČuzhÄng, æčć€éŹ„ç, âcritical struggleâ; or sometimes just pÄ«dĂČu, æč鏄; also called âdenunciationâ sessions). They were made famous during Maoâs Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), but they were utilized in the Chinese thought-reform (xÇnÇo, æŽè, lit. âwash brainâ or brainwashing) prisons starting in the early 1950s under the CCP. The nature of struggle sessions must be understood clearly in 2022 because Western nations are going through a âWokeâ Maoist insurgency now, and the struggle …
