The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 67
It’s time the unvarnished truth about Critical Race Theory is told in full. That truth is simple: Critical Race Theory is Race Marxism, that is, Marxian Theory reinvented with race as “the central construct for understanding inequality” in place of economic class. That conclusion is unavoidable after reading this new, groundbreaking book from James Lindsay: Race Marxism: The Truth About Critical Race Theory and Praxis, published by New Discourses. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, the author introduces this book to the world, including reading an excerpt from the introduction. You won’t want to miss the book or this podcast introducing and explaining it. Join James for the podcast and order Race Marxism today!

Chapter 6, p. 220 (in my Kindle version):
“History will progress along its dialectical path and eventually arrive at the corrected, perfected world, better known as, as Thomas Mann had it, the Utopia (“nowhere”). ”
Thomas Mann should probably be Thomas More?
Currently reading and loving it!
James , you have done incredible work for us , I can’t thank you enough, and it is hard work for me understanding their gobblygook . It took me three times to get through this podcast , and I follow lots of your work.
The reward comes when I’m watching this ex press secretary for Bernie sanders, Briana , a very articulate attractive socialist black woman, stated she looks in her blackness as a political statement , echoing Kimberly Crenshaw pushing identity politics and saying her race is a political weapon . The real danger to that being the backlash will gladly use identity politics to lump all,black people together as a political entity and proceed to go after all black people.
But , it was because I’ve done a lot of work listening to you that i recognized right away where she was coming from and could have mounted a responce . That is exactly the muscle I wanted to develope , and it takes time and dedication to listen to you.
For a long time, Ive recognized this evil , and had a good responce, but , you have totally illuminated the origins , how they talk and what they mean. You are not the only weapon , but, a very important weaponiser for us to be able fight this horrible disgusting ominous ideology and political agenda. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for your work.
You may want to explore the fundamentals (who/when/why/where/how/why) of the covert influence operation to destroy Normal American culture.
Examining “Critical Race Theory” or “Wokism” or any of the other new terms, and especially the conflation of Marxist theory or practice, must begin with the effort to denigrate and delegitamize Normal American culture that began in the 1920s.
While the operators who planted the seeds WERE Marxists, their message and payload was anything but Marxist.
The influence genius who conceived of, planned and implemented the operation was Willi Muenzenberg–a German Comintern covert operator.
He created a belief system, and an operational framework to insert the beliefs into American culture. And then he did it. And then he died. His only mistake was miscalculating how long his operation would take. He thought it would be a matter of years. Instead, it was 80-100 years. But it has now succeeded.
Muenzenberg’s Creed (or the belief system of Politically Correct Progressivism):
America is a…:
Racist,
Sexist,
Homophobic,
Imperialist,
Capitalist,
hellhole. And it must be changed.
That’s it. That is the sum total of ALL beliefs that PC-Progs today hold dear. That is the catechism of their PC-Prog religion.
Muenzenberg created this belief system to destroy American culture. The beliefs are only tangential to his own belief in Marxism/Leninism. The goal of destroying American culture was to speed the “natural evolution” to communism. But these beliefs are NOT Marxist, or communist. They are PC-Prog.

Happy to send you a copy, if you’d like.
Take a good look at today’s South Africa where Black Marxists are the majority and in power.
What is interesting about this whole woke movement is that it IS based on observations that anyone can make. Its problem is that it relies on extremely flawed assumptions for its explanations for these observed facts and what to do to change those facts.
For me, one key failings of this teaching is the idea of resistance. Though ad hoc organizations have been created to counter fascism and have been called The Resistance, they did not survive and did not prevail alone. This has to do with the odd fact that resisting something gives it more life and power, and thus is self-defeating.
The theories about how society became stratified (assuming there was a time when it wasn’t) suffer mostly from a very limited look at human experience. We have had tools for some time to expand our look into human experience. I can give the example of remote viewing. These tools, taken together, have opened up our knowledge of our past in ways never dreamed possible before, and have revealed incredible truths that change the way we think about ourselves in very basic ways.
Critical theory incorporates NONE of this new material. I see it as seriously anachronistic and thus doomed to failure. And that’s not even considering the theory or its conclusions in its details. When you DO delve into its details, as James does, its flaws only become more obvious.
“Remote viewing (RV) is the practice of seeking impressions about a distant or unseen target, purportedly ‘sensing’ with the mind… In early occult and spiritualist literature, remote viewing was known as telesthesia and travelling clairvoyance. Rosemary Guiley described it as ‘seeing remote or hidden objects clairvoyantly with the inner eye, or in alleged out-of-body travel’.”
New Age Woo Woo devotees are one of the primary drivers of Woke anti-rational idiocy. I knew a lot of New Agers in my time and excommunicated all of them from my life forever as dangerously naive, emotionally disturbed egomaniacs. One came close to a punch in the mouth when he was pontificating again his Woo Woo Seth Credo that humans create their own reality and I asked him what about something horrible like the Holocaust and he said that the Jews chose to be gassed by the Nazis because they had invented their own reality. New Agers need a one way trip to Uranus since they all live with their heads up their own anuses.
Stop the f-ing acid trip imbecility! We need REALITY — real concrete shit or get off the pot feet on the Earth hard core non-Woo Woo REALITY now more than ever!!! No wonder we lost our civilization!
huh, that was strong.
once I heard a definition of New Age thing.
Its a way how one can reconcile being utterly egoistic and still maintain the facade of so called spirituality.
Your story nails it completely
Bought it! Thank you for all your important work!
