Most of the time, everyone believes they’re talking about the facts, the “what’s happening” level of conversation, but sometimes they’re really talking about something deeper.
This workshop, hosted by James Lindsay, aims to explain and document the evolutionary transformation of Marxist theory and Communism throughout its history.
Theology provides, in addition to whatever else, a sense of the sacred and holy, which indicates by definition places not that we cannot go, or even should not go, but that we must not go.
Today, post-liberal movements on both the Left and the putative Right see these problems and are calling for Classical Liberalism's demise. But do they see the problems we face clearly and accurately?
