Woke Marxism Rejects Prosperity
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 93
Surely you've noticed that Woke doesn't work. Of course it doesn't. It's not just bad ideas put into operation by bad people and obvious grifters, though, that causes the problem. Woke Marxism isn't even interested in making things work. In fact, it's worse than that, even. Woke Marxism is, by definition, hostile to making things work. It is, as Herbert Marcuse put it in An Essay on Liberation (https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/marcuse/works/1969/essay-liberation.htm ) in 1969, a protest against "the totality of a well-functioning and prosperous society," even against its very Platonic Form. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay shows you exactly where this mentality was adopted by the radical Left that became the Woke Left to explain why Woke Marxism cannot possibly make anything work. It's opposed to the very concept!

Communists Are Good At Conquest
New Discourses Bullet, Ep. 92
There's an old saying about Communists that applies to all militant ideologies: they are good at conquest and bad at management. That's only half of the story. The fact is that because of their cult-religious nature, various strains of Communism aren't just bad at management; they're completely disinterested in management. That is, they don't want to make things work; they just want to control people and institutions to make more Communists. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains the ideas behind that simple summary of Communist behavior. Join him to learn why Communists don't know how and won't ever know how.

Queer Theory Is the Doctrine of a Sex-Based Cult
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 140
Queer Theory is the doctrine of a sex-based cult that has very little to do with gay people and lots of interest in our children. We really need to understand that. Based on remarks James Lindsay delivered at the University of Pittsburgh in February 2024, in this episode of the New Discourses podcast, he makes even more clear why Queer Theory defines a cult and how it works as such, particularly to initiate our kids.

Easter In The Woke Cult
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 91
Woke Marxism is a cult. It's not like a cult. It's not kind of a cult. It's a cult. Because it's a cult, and like the word "Woke" implies, becoming Woke means experiencing a rebirth into the social, emotional, and intellectual worldview of the cult's doctrine. In fact, fathers of Woke Marxist theory, like Paulo Freire, are explicit about this aspect of Woke Marxism in the starkest possible terms. For Freire, awakening to critical consciousness (becoming Woke) is a personal Easter, a spiritual death and resurrection on the side of the oppressed. How do we know? He says it himself, explicitly and more than once, in his now-famous 1984 book The Politics of Education (https://amzn.to/3UEduEa). In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay pulls back the curtain on this cult belief and makes it plainly visible. Join him so you can understand that we're dealing with the largest cult startup in human history.

The Lie Of Planned Spontaneity
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 90
Regardless of the issue (BLM, Drag Queen Story Hour, Pride, or a college uprising), the ideological totalism of Woke Marxism uses classic tactics to advance itself. One of those is a kind of manipulation through what is called "planned spontaneity," a clear oxymoron. Planned spontaneity is a "mystical manipulation," in the words of Robert Jay Lifton, that gives the totalizing cult the appearance of incredible, widespread, organic support, if not omniscience. The current pro-Hamas (or pro-Palestine) student uprisings are no exception. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this phenomenon through the lens of Lifton's work, particularly indicating how the current Red-Guard student uprisings fit into this fake, manipulative frame of reference. Don't miss it!

Digital Cattle
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 89
Our future, if the Woke Marxists prevail, may well be to be made into "digital cattle." What does that mean? It means that we will be led into a state of dependency, perhaps using a Universal Basic Income, and enter into a remade (distributist) economy based on social credit, which is to say compliance with the state's agendas for us. To make this system work, both practically and in terms of control mechanisms takes incredible amounts of data. Like cattle who earn their feed by being raised for meat, we will earn our "basic income" by providing the data necessary to keep us under "sustainable" control. Join host James Lindsay in this frightening episode of New Discourses Bullets to understand a possible future in the so-called "technetronic era."

Customer Reviews
Excellent work
You are doing invaluable labor, for which many people are grateful. You mentioned the deprogramming people who have been swept into the cult of the woke. Could you do a podcast on how to go about that? Thank you again.
Exposing creepy totalitarians
You’d have to be a real queer to leave a negative review on this podcast. Just wondering why James has a hard on for Israel isn’t it just dialectical antithesis decision trap? I see the protests are fake but Oct 7 was also fake
Exposing the Groomers
It’s scary what the deviants have in mind for our children. Brainwashing and creating an army of unhappy people. James reveals the agenda of these monsters. Progressives are just slightly nicer communists slow walking us to tyranny and death. Keep up the great work!
