The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 152 On December 3, 2024, James Lindsay revealed to the world that he had perpetrated a hoax against the nominally “Christian Nationalist” magazine American Reformer in which he had rewritten a significant portion of the Communist Manifesto to flatter their “Woke Right” ideology. In the ensuing days, the hoax has caused quite a stir on the conservative side of the internet, generating a completely unexpected response in which, in addition to deflecting from the hoax and bashing James, many ostensible conservatives launched into robust defenses of Marxist analysis, critical theory, and postmodernism.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 151 What is “Woke“? What is its relationship to “Social Justice”? Why did so many people explain Woke as “Critical Social Justice” for several years? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you into the book that first opened his eyes to what “Woke” really is: Ozlem Sensoy and Robin DiAngelo’s Is Everyone Really Equal? (first edition). This book could truly serve as an eye-opening “Woke for Dummies” guide to where Woke comes from, what it really means by “Social Justice,” and how it thinks about the world. It, like all Woke books, is also a Woke grimoire, drawing

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 150 Cultural Marxism is a challenging term that refers to a broad Leftist social phenomenon that took place in the West through the twentieth century into the present. Based upon but modifying the Communist religion of Karl Marx, Western (Cultural) Marxism sought to find a way to infiltrate and seize the means of production of Western Civilizational culture in the hopes of opening it up to socialism (or Communism). In the 1910s through the 1930s, the Western Marxist movement truly was a Cultural Marxism. From the 1930s to the 1970s, this line

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 149 Vladimir Lenin established the Bolshevik Party in 1912 to seize control of the socialist movement in Russia and to plan and execute a violent revolution against the Tsar, and by 1917 he was successful in this attack. Also in 1917, on the eve of his victory, he wrote his thoughts about the organization of the state and how the revolution should proceed, both to box out his socialist competitors and to establish a theoretical baseline drawing from Marx and Engels for how to organize what became the Soviet Union. That document
