The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 70
We often hear that Woke Marxism is a new ideology in the world. I’ve even said so. Well, it isn’t. It’s just an old one repackaged in various ways without any essential changes made to it at all. Critical Race Theory is Race Marxism in the same way as what we usually call Marxism is Class Marxism. Radical Feminism is Sex Marxism. Gender ideology and Queer Theory are Sex, Gender, and Sexuality Marxism, or just Gender Marxism or Sexual Marxism to be more concise. Fat studies is Fat Marxism. Disability studies is Ability Marxism. Critical Education Theory (Critical Pedagogy) is Knowledge Marxism in terms of what it means to be formally educated or literate within the existing system. Postmodern postructuralism is Language Marxism. Postcolonial Theory is National Origin Marxism. And on it goes, with all of these cobbled together by intersectionality, which is Identity Marxism.
In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, James Lindsay breaks down the essential kernel of Marxist thought and makes perfectly clear how all of the claims in this paragraph are true. Join him to understand what’s going on in our world today in these simple, straightforward, yet sobering terms.

I read recently that they (the Left) want trans visibility, which I find to be a ridiculous idea if they are in fact trans. If they wish to be successfully trans they had best just quietly transition, blend in, shut up about it and do their jobs! But then that would not be political which their whole trans trip is, that of gender Marxism.
I knew real trans people in San Francisco back in the 90’s and they were all about getting through transition and going stealth, which is to say being undetectable as trans. Totally unlike what we see from the loudly trans identifying mob of today. I think at least some of them are those who will never be able to pass as the other sex, and are using politics to force us to accept them as such anyway, while a good many others are just Marxists doing all they can to stir up as much societal chaos and division as possible pursuant to a communist revolution in America.
Another thing about those trans people I knew back in the 90’s, you might be surprised how many of them were actually CONSERVATIVES!
Trans as political “Queer” Identaria is a Get-Out-of-Whiteness Free Card. Trans is a simulacra of non-whiteness.
Trans allows whites to become symbolic “non-whites” therefore oppressed not oppressors and freed to use their mass numbers to fight alongside real non-whites to overthrow “whiteness” which stands in the way of complete Globalist Totalitaria.
Transing of children in schools (“grooming” is both a front for paedophila but more so a political weapon) is a Globalist strategy to de-white a generation of white children by transing them via magical thinking rebirthing into born again non-whites who can act as a fifth column children’s crusade of Globalist “liberation” (whose goal is all Earth’s money/resources/people in 1%’s hands forever).
“Trans”formatively oppressed “non-white” transed/non-binary children are cut off culturally, politically and socially from their white parents who are now their racist oppressors. The purpose of child transing is to make the politically “non-white” transed children turn on their white oppressor “cis” parents and tear down their parents’ old society (the 4 Olds of Mao) and re-populate the new (world order) society created by the Globalist WEF with a Tik Tok army of Davos-child Red Guards who will literally kill on command their deplorable far-right racist families (bash a fash till it dies Antifa is the leading edge of this new army).
Look up the ‘Me To We’ movement, a terrifying program of Red Guard indoctrination of children that was disguised as a “charity” (investigated for major fraud in Canada along with co-conspirator Justin Trudeau in 2020) and predated the trans strategy. ‘Me To We’ was not effective enough so transing via K-12/social media replaced it and has had a 100% success rate.
Trans is a political weapon of Globalists, as are all the other neo-Marxist weapons whose purpose is to secure absolute power and wealth permanently and irrevocably into the hands of the 1% world rulers (Schwab, Soros, Rockefellers, Gates, the King of Saudi Arabia, etc.) via their hench lackeys, the WEF’s YGL Young Global Leaders, trained by Davos to rule the world as the praetorian guard of their Globalist masters.
YGL class of 2021 includes Ibram Kendi! Being groomed by WEF as Obama’s replacement! USA RINO Dan Crenshaw is a YGL almuni. So is Ukraine’s Zelensky! And France’s Macron, Mark Zuckerberg, CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Olympics loser lebian Megan Rapinhoe, and on and on. One big happy world crime family, isn’t it.

Klaus Schwab bragged in 2017 about “penetrating” the Canadian parliament via Justin Trudeau and scores of Canadian politician YGL almuni. The Globalist WEF rulers have penetrated Canada literally, figuratively, mentally and anally and the Canadian people love it! Canadodo sap-people bend over for the WEF while screaming harder, deeper, faster, Master!
verification from the far left conspiracy theory web site Wicked-peed-on-me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Global_Leaders
“In a 2017 interview, Klaus Schwab said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had been recognized as a Young Global Leader, and also mentioned Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: ‘I have to say, when I mention now names, like Mrs. (Angela) Merkel and even Vladimir Putin, and so on, they all have been Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum. But what we are very proud of now is the young generation like Prime Minister (Justin) Trudeau … We penetrate the cabinet. So yesterday I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau and I know that half of his cabinet, or even more than half of his cabinet, are actually Young Global Leaders.'”

Yes Transition to pass reducing our dysphoria and if we are lucky eliminate it and GET on with our life like anyone else. You get it
Marx philosophy is very simplistic. Only simple minds could fall for it. BTW central banking is one of the vectors of Marx for control…why don’t critics question The Federal Reserve Bank? I got in argument in a bar with others sitting near me because they didn’t believe the US $ was ever pegged to Gold. These people were old enough to know better. Who taught them?
We can define a homomorphism (pun intended) between ideologies…
Gender Hegelism?
I was very persuaded by a video I saw on the life of Marx more than a year ago. I can’t recall who made it. It portrayed Marx, basically, as an irresponsible person who could not hold a job.
We can then understand Marx’s arguments as a way of explaining or justifying his own situation in life. I am highly inclined to see this whole line of reasoning that runs into modern Wokeness as just a justification for why some people aren’t responsible enough to carry their weight in society.
We already have social traditions that handle this problem in the very old and the very young and the obviously sick. But “conservatives” have been reluctant to extend these special treatments to able-bodied adults. Unfortunately, along the way conservatives made a lot of mistakes, mostly by believing certain “experts” (like Trump did with COVID) in other areas, in particular, Medicine and Mental Health. They also allowed the activity we call Education to come under the influence of these preachers of no responsibility. And so society has decayed further to the point where we are on the brink of legalizing crime.
These various Woke ideologies are just different ways to avoid responsibility for one’s own behaviors in various spheres of activity. Of course they could find real examples that seemed to support their arguments, just as Marx could find abuses of workers in the 1800s.
But in the end “acting White” is really only acting responsible. In Wokeness, the actual misuses of power and influence which are so often railed against are more and more being ignored as more and more of the Woke begin to indulge in this behavior themselves. This is particularly obvious to me in the field of “mental health” but manifests more broadly.
What Wokeness fails to do, then, is to take any responsibility for its own weaknesses and obvious faults. It therefore cripples itself when facing real problems in society (crime) and so has become another propaganda tool of the criminals.
Your comment is so succinct and encompasses exactly what the core of the issue is. This marxist ideology is the perfect tool or agent to kill societies.
If worse comes to worse and this ideology destroys America or other western countries further, I hope future peoples will find a proper way to prevent it from happening again, but highly doubtful as those seduced by this ideology are entirely unwavering and there is no destroying an ideology. It’s just going to continue to be humanities downfall.
Yes. Please write this down. “Race Marxism” is a wonderful book, but can be heavy going. This precis of Marxism you just did and its various applications is nicely succinct. Not to be flippant, but a very humorous game could be made; something like the old “mad-libs” to produce “mission statements” for Critical Anything.
I see some idiots on this discus on YouTube , try to diminish what you say . ” …if you really read these people you would find little related to what Lindsay sais ” .
Don’t these ass holes realize you are reading huge swaths of this literature to us ? We are hearing over and over their direct disgusting words . They offer no alternative only put down.
Long ago , I realized these critical theory social justice groups were cutting and pasting Marxism , yes , with new equally stupid approaches . You are just clarifying in a big way , these origins.
This critical theory , post modern neo Marxism should be taught with the same dusgust and dustain as Mein Komf . As you said , these ideologies should be cringe worthy
Feminists are the 21st century Mensheviks.
For those of us who are visual learners to one degree or another, please diagram out the underlying pattern you describe in your discussion in Queer Theory is Gender Marxism. It is all Marxism.
Thanks,
