The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 122 We are halfway through a plot to seize control of the world. It may seem like a conspiracy theory, but it's placed awfully prominently, and everywhere, to be such a thing. The...
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 59 Thankfully, the world is rapidly waking up to the threat of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) scoring for corporations and beyond. The nature of that threat and its contours are coming into view, and people are...
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 58 If you are Woke, you are in danger, not from the people you think you need to fight every waking moment of your day but from the people you support. History teaches this. The philosophy you...
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 57 In Mao Zedong's CCP-run China, citizens were bullied and brainwashed into accepting "socialist discipline" by the Communist authorities by means of a devastating tool called the "struggle session." Struggle sessions are nothing short of a form...
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 56 One of the best things about reading Marxist literature is that they almost always tell you their weaknesses if you pay attention. A huge focus in the literature of Western Marxism has been on the...
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 121 Sex ed has come a long way, even if you don't realize it. What we used to think of as sex education has been slowly being transformed into Comprehensive Sexuality Education,...
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 55 In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson famously used a curious phrase to describe man's fundamentally inalienable rights: "among these, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." What many do not know is that Jefferson...
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 120 Woke Marxism is an invasive, subversive force that seeks to usurp the authority of the society it infects and transform it into something under its own control. This tells us quite...

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 119 ESG scoring is a financial racket, and we're starting to learn how it works. The unfolding saga with huge American corporations like Anheuser-Busch (Bud Light) and Target are showing us a...
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 53 When you understand that virtually everything with Woke Marxism is (a) impossible and (b) a strategic provocation, it leads you to think about engaging with it differently. (And engage with it we must!) A powerful...

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 118 One of Mao Zedong's most famous pieces is a short command from 1937 titled "Combat Liberalism" (https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-2/mswv2_03.htm ). Contrary to what many conservatives would have us believe, Communism is not the...
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 52 Every Woke term conceals an agenda. That's a crucially important fact to understand. Yes, you may be familiar with the actual words in use, words like "diversity" or "resilience," but the Woke are misusing them...
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 117 Intersectionality is a Woke standard, but what is it? Where does it come from? The history of the concept isn't that hard to trace, and where it leads us is back...

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 50 Woke Marxism is a cult. In being a cult, it operates like an "initiate society," and the initiation into the cult is largely but not wholly accomplished through its deliberate misuse of language. As it...
Imagine my surprise. Late last summer, I got an email from the Oxford Union formally inviting me to debate the proposition “This House Believes Woke Culture Has Gone Too Far.” Then, a month or so after I accepted, while on...
The Secret Religions of the West, Session 3 of 3 In the Esoteric Religion known as Hermeticism, there are a number of core principles of operation, perhaps most famously the Principle of Correspondence. It's often worded "As above, so below," but...
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 49 Cults have a structure. The Woke Marxist cult is no exception: it is structured too. In general, there are three types of layers in cults, though each of these might have various levels or ranks...
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 48 One of the most powerful tactics against totalitarianism, one that worked to stop regimes from taking over and that broke existing regimes from within, is the simple strategy of "throwing sand in the gears," as...

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 47 When is it time to stand up against Woke Marxism? Yesterday. Actually like five years ago. The next best time is right now. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay goes through...
The Secret Religions of the West, Session 1 of 3 If you want to impose a totalitarian system, you have a problem on your hands: reality. The real is in your way and will eventually veto your project. Far sooner, people...
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 46 Maybe about a fifth of American adults decided not to get the shot (you know, THE shot). Maybe it was a quarter. Either way, that's not very many, it seems, but it was enough to...
The Theology of Marxism, Session 3 of 3 In that Marxism is a theology that gives birth to a religion of Communism, it has to also have a process of conversion. That process was not well-developed under Karl Marx, but it...

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 45 Know what the Woke Marxists really don't want? Anti-Communist education in our schools. They do not want our children to learn about the true history of Communism and its atrocities. They do not want our...

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 44 A powerful tool in the Woke Marxist toolbox is something called a "thought-terminating cliché." These are short, pithy statements, demands, or slogans that are designed to stifle thought in their targets as well as in...
The Theology of Marxism, Session 1 of 3 Marxism is a theology, and its religion is Communism. That we have failed to understand this fact over the 175 years since Marx wrote the early drafts of what he originally called the...
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 113 Queer Theory is the doctrine of a cult. Strange as this gender ideology may seem, perverse as it is, it can only be understood in terms of the esoteric cult religious...
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 43 Mao Zedong wanted to thought-reform, that is, brainwash, the whole Chinese population, and he had a formula (https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-5/mswv5_58.htm) for doing it: "Unity - Criticism - Unity." That is, he sought to induce in people...
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives have taken over the country, reaching into every aspect of our work, school, and lives. What is "DEI," though? New Discourses founder James Lindsay explains the idea and its history in unprecedented depth in this...
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 42 There's an abusive tactic commonly used by abusers, both intentionally and unintentionally, that goes by the name "DARVO." DARVO is an acronym that means "Deny, Attack, Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender," and...
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 41 A key tactic in the Woke Marxist activism toolbox is an unconventional warfare technique known as "mid-level violence," or, in other words, strategic provocation. In this strategy, agitators will engage in behavior that, if accepted,...
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 40 So your job is making you take a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training, an "unconscious bias" training, or maybe a "Sustainability," ESG, or SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) meeting. In other words, your job is...
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 112 Like virtually everything in Woke Marxism, Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is sold through lies and deception. The packaging is always pretty. What's in the box is always a catastrophe. While this rule...
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 39 Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is a dangerous scam being forced into our education system at every level and in every possible way. How are they doing it, though? Among the techniques they're using to ram SEL...
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 111 Woke is a cult. In fact, Woke is a cult in exactly the same way Maoism was and is a cult. There's only a little daylight between them, as we recently...
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 38 One of the most notorious names almost nobody in the West remembers is Trofim Lysenko. His horrific ideas about agriculture and biology, derived mostly from crackpot Marxist Socialist and Soviet Theory, led to the starvation...
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 110 It's time to be plain. Actually, it's long past time. What's happening in America today and throughout the West is a Maoist cultural revolution, just like happened in China under the...
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 37 Demoralization is the destruction of one's morale, in every possible sense. It's also a Communist tactic being used not only on our society but on our children. At the end of the demoralization road, people...
