Host James Lindsay offers a thorough overview of Marxism; Cultural Marxism; Critical Marxism; and Woke Marxism, connecting each to the challenges of modernity.
Host James Lindsay reads through the first chapter of Lenin's key work to expose to you what Bolshevik Communists think a state exists to do: repression.
Karl Marx characterized Communism as "the negation of the negation," which is a peculiar turn of phrase he borrowed from his theoretical predecessor G.W.F. Hegel.
Communists create destruction everywhere they go, often by appealing to nice-sounding but ridiculous nonsense as some kind of justification for implementing their projects.
We're hearing a lot about "joy" now that the Kamala Harris and Tim Walz campaign have made it a byword of their project, so we have to ask what they mean by it.
Near the end of his book, Dikotter explains the appeal of Communism to the Chinese in the 1950s, even though all around them was failure, starvation, and death.
