The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 163

Do you know the name of the "new system" we're all being herded toward? Communism, Fascism, Communo-fascism, Technocracy... sure, yeah, all of those. But these are based on an underlying economic principle called stakeholderism. The World Economic Forum (WEF) "Stakeholder Capitalism" model from Klaus Schwab, along with the corporate ESG gobbledygook, is the most recognizable stakeholderist plan in the game, but do you know its long history and broader use? In this groundbreaking and controversial episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay explains how the first true Stakeholder economy was instituted in Nazi Germany in 1937 with the passage of a National Socialist Shareholder Law, and that both the Woke Left and New Right (or Woke Right) champion that same model today, alongside the WEF, UN, Club of Rome, CCP, and all the rest. You will not want to miss this one.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 114

Are we ruled by elites? Must we be? Should we be? These are the key questions addressed by a school of thought that's sometimes called "elite theory," or, when answering in the affirmative to the question of whether elites should rule us, "elitism." It's a thoroughly unAmerican idea that is a sure threat to liberty. But what is it, how does it think, where does it come from, and isn't that what Lenin was doing with his Bolshevik Vanguard in the first place? In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay dives into the various faces of elite theory and elitism and gives a trenchant warning against a rising tide of elitist thought, not just on the Left but also on the Right. Join him to better understand the elitist idea that, when your guys do it, it's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 113

Is nationalism the answer to our Woke woes? Well, yes and no, and mostly no, and to be that guy, it depends on what you mean by "nationalism." In fact, there are lots of ways to define both nationalism and the nation to which a nationalist program would be ideologically committed. It can be a sentiment in a variety of strengths, which can be quite good and valuable, or it can be a collectivist ideological project, which is not so good. Conquering nationalist regimes and programs is also a Communist bread-and-butter tactic. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay takes on the question and introduces the complexity of the subject of nationalism, including Christian Nationalism in America, as a solution to our Woke political troubles. Join him to get a wider perspective on this important issue.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 162

Woke isn't just a slang term describing Identity Marxist beliefs about the world. Woke is a worldview, a religion. The right name for the ideology and worldview of Woke is critical constructivism, and it was first codified and explained in detail by a critical pedagogue by the name of Joe L. Kincheloe. In 2005, Kincheloe published a primer text on critical constructivism, titled Critical Constructivism: A Primer (https://amzn.to/3YepptI), and this book could very well be regarded as The Book of Woke. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay introduces this book and the deeper understanding of Woke behind all the praxis. It will be the first in a series exploring this book and exposing Woke for what it really is: a cult religious worldview. Join him to learn more than ever before.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 112

There's a political theory known as unbound executive theory. It originates with a German thinker, later turned Nazi, named Carl Schmitt. Schmitt, whose political theories were useful to Fascists and finds employment by the CCP in the People's Republic of China today, believed that for a sovereign or chief executive to truly be sovereign, he must be able to exempt himself at need from the general rule of law. That is, the executive must be able to become unbound by law, including the national constitution. Schmitt argues this should take place under special emergency circumstances called "the state of exception," which is to say a crisis, perhaps like Covid-19 or to remove Woke infiltration. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay gives an introductory overview to this strongly unAmerican political theory and explains its popularity with Woke tyrants on both Left and Right. Join him to understand how the "post-liberal" factions on Left and Right both increasingly think about executive power.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 161

In many respects, things were not going well in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s in the wake of the First World War. The population was humiliated and impoverished, distrusted throughout Europe, and riddled with various problems of social and cultural degeneracy, not least rampant corruption and the relentless manipulations of Marxism. To address these problems, a grand experiment was performed under the direction of Adolf Hitler, the Nazi Experiment. This Nazi Experiment was not just catastrophic but horrific, rightly an icon of the possible depths of human evil. Today, some would have us look at that experiment for inspiration, suggesting its terrible, monstrous evil mistells the tale. In this daring episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads directly from the source of the vile beginnings of the Nazi Experiment, the second chapter of Adolf Hitler's infamous Mein Kampf (https://der-fuehrer.org/meinkampf/english/Mein%20Kampf%20(Ford%20Translation).pdf). He does so to highlight the fatal errors Hitler was making even then, which he sees being repeated across certain rising sectors of the American and Western Right today. Join him for another hard-hitting episode that makes abundantly clear why Never Again is now.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 160

If you had to narrow it down to a single reason our school classrooms and hallways have become so much more dangerous, rough, irreverent, and violent, any honest assessment would identify the widespread misapplication of restorative justice programs. It's long past time we face up to this fact, which was first exposed in the unbelievably important book Why Meadow Died by Andrew Pollack (https://amzn.to/41y1TKi), whose child died in the Parkland school shooting in Florida, and AEI fellow Max Eden. The problem didn't start in Parkland, however; it started in Oakland, and it spread as a result of pressures coming from the Office of Civil Rights in Obama's Department of Education well over a decade ago. As with so much in Woke education, the problem is infinitely worse and more fraudulent than one has any right to expect. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads some of Fania Davis's (Angela Davis's sister) ridiculous book The Little Book of Race and Restorative Justice (https://amzn.to/3D67bU0) along with a report cited by Davis (https://shorturl.at/nU6TA) in support of a program that simply doesn't work. It's time for America's parents to stand up to restorative justice and demand it be removed from our schools.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 159

By virtue of the technological world we inhabit, we live in a propaganda-saturated environment. In fact, whether we like it or not, we all live in a psychological warfare battlespace, which requires us all to prepare ourselves for that environment. As ever, preparation begins with understanding. In this deep-diving episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay pulls back the curtain on "agitprop," the combination of agitation and propaganda to wage psychological and political warfare, ranging from Communists like Lenin to Nazis like Hitler. You won't want to miss this opportunity to learn how we're all being manipulated.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 158

Enough is enough. While there is much need for purposed action around the world to set our countries to right, we are rapidly realizing we've had enough radicalism. But radicalism, often in answer to radicalism, is still rapidly on the rise. These facts raise an important question: What is the road away from radicalization? How do we deradicalize generations? An answer can be found in the religious spirit cultivated by the Christian and Jewish faiths, whether one is religious or not. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads from the latter part of Melita Maschmann's eye-opening book, An Account Rendered: A Dossier on My Former Self (https://amzn.to/3EBi7JD) in which she recounts the series of encounters with three Christians and a Jew that ultimately spurred and then finished her "inner break from National Socialism." Join him to hear about the unbelievable power of patient, unforgetting forgiveness and the accountability it carries with it.

"We are the media now!" So we hear. Much of that media is social media, and social media is a psychological and political warfare battlespace. More than that, it's incredibly fake. What we see there is mostly a well-crafted illusion meant to distort our perceptions of social and political reality. In this short episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay walks you through some of the many ways what we see on social media simply cannot be taken at face value. Join him for an unsettling look behind the curtain of our social media unrealities.
