The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 93
Redefine the words; redefine the society. That’s the basic idea of “critique” and the way so much of Marxist activism proceeds. Recently, James Lindsay explained this phenomenon in an essay on New Discourses with relation to three key terms that allow a subversion of society: “inclusion,” “democracy,” and, most concerningly, “citizenship.” In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads through and elaborates on his own essay on this topic. Join him to understand this important maneuver.

Your discussion of “citizenship” is particularly illuminating. Under “communism” nothing exists in the way of a private sphere that impedes your full commitment to your fulfilling your species being, your participation in the ” whole”. You are right: the entitlement to abortion follows from the notion of communist citizenship. The analogy of reaching communism to reaching, say, a limit in calculus or absolute zero: excellent parallel. As usual, thanks!
