La révolution est-elle impossible ? - Marcuse contre la société unidimensionnelle

L'horizon révolutionnaire, qui paraissait si proche en Mai 68, s'est éloigné de manière considérable. Comment expliquer l'apathie généralisée qui fait obstacle aux changements émancipateurs ? Pour le dire en d'autres termes, pourquoi la révolution semble-t-elle impossible ? Est-ce une question de manque de conscience, de volonté, ou bien le système lui-même a-t-il développé des mécanismes si puissants qu'il parvient à neutraliser toute contestation ? Revenons aux années 1960 et au constat presque identique posé par le philosophe Herbert Marcuse dont les idées et hypothèses mêlant Marx et Freud semblent toujours pouvoir éclairer le présent. Penseur marxiste hétérodoxe de la Nouvelle Gauche américaine et souvent présenté comme un inspirateur des révoltes étudiantes, Marcuse a diagnostiqué dans Éros et civilisation ou encore l'Homme unidimensionnel les ressorts d'une domination qui ne s'exerce plus par la seule contrainte mais par une sorte de consentement fabriqué par les modes de vie.. Ce sont ces idées que l'on va décortiquer dans cet épisode à la lumière de deux ouvrages parus cette année : Découvrir Marcuse par Emmanuel Barot publié aux Éditions sociales et Marcuse, Face au néofascisme d'Haud Guéguen chez Amsterdam. On va voir que Marcuse se fait le théoricien d'un certain pessimisme révolutionnaire avant de déceler les possibilités d'un espoir contestataire qui prenne en compte les risques toujours forts de contre-révolution au sein du capitalisme contemporain.

The philosophers of the Frankfurt School practiced a technique called negative dialectics, where concepts are defined as much by what you can't say about them as what you can. Appropriately, the Frankfurt School has ended up defined by what you can't say about them. You can't say that they invented a new form of left-wing thought called Cultural Marxism. This would be (according to Wikipedia) the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory, a "far right anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that misinterprets Western Marxism, especially the Frankfurt School, as being responsible for modern progressive movements, identity politics, and political correctness". You're not supposed to dub them a transitional stage between Communism and postmodernism. You're not allowed to speculate that a lot of the academic humanities, as they're practiced today, descend from the Frankfurt School's brand of critical theory. You're not supposed to think of them as the point where the muscular pro-technology leftism of the early 1900s shattered into the pessimistic degrowth leftism of the present. Art is long, life is short. Most of us only manage to not do a few things in our limited span on Earth. But the Frankfurt School managed to not invent so many movements - to not be involved in so many of the crucial ideological shifts of the past century - that they caught my attention. Who were these people? What other aspects of our culture might we be unable to say they were involved in? For answers, I turned to the classic history of the group, Martin Jay's The Dialectical Imagination. The basics are simple enough: the School was founded in Frankfurt in 1923. It attracted great philosophers like Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, and Herbert Marcuse. When the Nazis took power in the early 1930s, the mostly-Jewish Frankfurters fled to America, where friendly locals helped them continue their work in affiliation with Columbia University. Mid-century Americans were suckers for sophisticated European intellectuals, and when the rise of fascism and World War II started dominating headlines, the German-Jewish Frankfurters were natural experts to help Americans process the situation. By the end of the war, they were firmly established as thought leaders. Some - including Horkheimer and Adorno - returned to Germany to rebuild its intellectual culture from the ruins; others stayed in America and remained relevant through the 60s and 70s. But figuring out what the Frankfurters believed is more complicated. Forget about the thin line between universally-acknowledged fact and fascist conspiracy theory. The School itself was famously coy, worrying that if they explained themselves too clearly, people would caricature their beliefs and integrate them into the existing capitalist system. Even when they did speak "clearly", it was in the sort of German philosophical register where "the negation of the negation" is a totally normal thing to say. Having only read a single book on them, I will no doubt fall into all the failure modes that they and their successors warned us against. But here are the analogies, intuition pumps, and parables that I found helpful. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/book-review-the-dialectical-imagination

En esta nueva cápsula , Gibran y Christian abordan por primera vez a Herbert Marcuse, a partir de la compilación de textos sobre psicoanálisis y filosofía (editada en español por Materia Oscura, y disponible en inglés en los Collected Papers). Una conversación sobre por qué Marcuse —tan famoso como poco leído— sigue siendo urgentemente actual.Recorremos su biografía (Berlín, Heidegger, el exilio, la nueva izquierda, el "Marx-Mao-Marcuse" del 68) y su sorprendente vínculo con México: su llegada vía las traducciones de Juan García Ponce, su visita a la UNAM en 1966, el desencuentro que nunca ocurrió con Erich Fromm, y hasta la sombra que su pensamiento proyecta sobre el 68 mexicano y Tlatelolco.Lo que atraviesa el episodio:• La disputa con Erich Fromm y el "ala derecha del psicoanálisis": cómo el revisionismo neofreudiano convirtió el análisis en un dispositivo de adaptación• Por qué para Marcuse las categorías psicoanalíticas ya son, en sí mismas, categorías sociales y políticas• La tesis central de La obsolescencia del psicoanálisis (1963): lo obsoleto no es Freud, sino el individuo sobre el que se construyó la teoría• Del individuo al "átomo social": el encogimiento del yo, el debilitamiento de las facultades críticas y la acumulación de energía destructiva• El principio de rendimiento, el plus de represión y la posibilidad de una sublimación no represiva• Eros como pulsión de vida y la idea de una "nueva sensibilidad" que afecte la dimensión biológica de la existencia• La sociedad sin padre: cómo la autoridad social anónima sustituye la función paterna, leída junto a Lacan (1938), Horkheimer y Paul Federn• Resonancias contemporáneas: narcisismo, identidad a rajatabla, el fenómeno sionista y Recalcati ("el hombre sin inconsciente")• Para qué sirve hoy un análisis: ¿liberación o paliativo adaptativo?Dónde leer los textos:Herbert Marcuse, Psicoanálisis, política y filosofía — Editorial Materia Oscura (Chile).

In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Pastor Nate Wright and Dr. Joe Boot continue their discussion on Marxism by tracing how traditional Marxist theory shifted from economics to culture, giving rise to critical theory and the modern sexual revolution. They examine why Marxist economic revolution failed to take hold in the West, how thinkers like Antonio Gramsci, the Frankfurt School, Wilhelm Reich, Herbert Marcuse, and Judith Butler redirected the struggle toward family, sexuality, education, language, and institutions, and why critical theory is not a neutral tool Christians can borrow. At its root, critical theory attacks the creational structures God has built into the world—marriage, family, male and female, authority, truth, and the cultural mandate itself. Rather than reforming culture under the lordship of Christ, it seeks to deconstruct God’s order in the name of liberation. Nate and Joe argue that Christians must recognize critical theory as a rival religious worldview with its own doctrine of creation, sin, justice, and salvation—and must answer it not with compromise, but with confidence in Scripture, creation, the family, the church, and the kingship of Christ over all things.

May we resolve to live not by lies, political correctness, wokeness, or ‘repressive tolerance‘ by any name. May we live by the Truth alone, and may God have mercy on us. Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to. — Theodore Dalrymple (Anthony Daniels) Frontpage Magazine interview (August 31, 2005) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. — Romans 10:8-13 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. — John 14:6 KJV Links Videos / Clips [x] = Played Triggered!

In un mondo in cui tutto sembra cambiare continuamente, è sempre più difficile distinguere tra ciò che scegliamo davvero e ciò che semplicemente “va di moda”.In questo episodio riflettiamo su un fenomeno tanto diffuso quanto spesso invisibile: il conformismo. Attraverso esempi di vita quotidiana, riferimenti alla psicologia sociale e al pensiero di autori come Zygmunt Bauman, Herbert Marcuse e Søren Kierkegaard, esploriamo come le tendenze culturali, sociali e digitali influenzino il nostro modo di pensare, di scegliere e perfino di costruire la nostra identità.Seguire ciò che fanno tutti ci fa sentire al sicuro, ma può anche allontanarci dal nostro criterio personale. In un'epoca dominata da algoritmi, modelli replicati e aggiornamento continuo, recuperare uno sguardo critico diventa un atto di consapevolezza.Una riflessione su identità, libertà e responsabilità personale, per tornare a farsi una domanda semplice ma fondamentale:“Cosa va davvero per me?”Corsi di Coaching: https://www.lifecoachitaly.it/Il mio sito web: https://giovannagiuffredi.it/

In this episode, Breht is joined by philosopher, author, and cultural critic Gabriel Rockhill to discuss his new book Who Paid the Pipers of Western Marxism? The Intellectual World War: Marxism vs. the Imperial Theory Industry. Rockhill argues that the Cold War was not only fought with bombs, coups, and sanctions -- but with ideas, institutions and intellectuals. Drawing on extensive archival research, Rockhill shows how U.S. imperial power built a vast apparatus of foundations, universities, media outlets and cultural organizations to shape what kinds of Marxism were allowed to exist in the West. Rather than simply repressing Marxism, empire promoted a "compatible left"; a version of critical theory and Western Marxism that rejected actually existing socialist struggles and experiments, detached theory from mass struggle, and helped neutralize anti-imperialist politics. Together, they explore the role of the Frankfurt School, Herbert Marcuse, Cold War cultural warfare, and the long shadow this history still casts over today's left. This episode was recorded in the immediate wake of the U.S.'s invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping of President Maduro and his wife, which they discuss at the beginning of the conversation.  Check out Critical Theory Workshop HERE Follow Rockhill's work on his Substack HERE ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio https://revleftradio.com/

How do new forms of social control under capitalism foreclose the possibility of social critique? In episode 156 of Overthink, Ellie and David take a deep dive into Herbert Marcuse's 1964 classic, One-Dimensional Man. Marcuse analyzes how 1950s conformism narrows the private space of human thinking, turning us into one-dimensional beings. Your hosts talk about Marcuse's diagnosis of life under capitalism, and his assessment of how analytic philosophy's obsession with formal logic encourages conservatism and prevents us from subversive thought.

In part 2 of Kenneth Frampton's Scaffold interview, we focus on his own experiences - from his early desire to become a farmer, and the long hesitation that kept him from starting a family, and his regrets around leaving architectural practice for a life of writing. These biographical threads are woven through his encounters with key thinkers – from Herbert Marcuse and Tomas Maldonado to Juhani Pallasmaa and Hannah Arendt – and with buildings like Corringham and Aalto's Villa Mairea and the transformation in perspective they represent.The discussion moves between the question of anti-capitalist architecture, the inundation of images in contemporary life, and the importance of what Frampton calls the microcosmos – architecture as the creation of “a small world” where society can begin to recognise itself. Along the way, Frampton reflects on what it might mean not to separate the reality of work from the pleasure of life.Scaffold is an Architecture Foundation production, hosted by Matthew Blunderfield.

你听到的是跳岛「读懂金钱」付费系列节目的第三期试听片段,「读懂金钱」付费专题目前只在小宇宙app和网易云音乐上线。如果你对我们的内容感兴趣,欢迎你在这两个平台付费支持我们! 一年一度的“双十一”购物节又打响了,你的满减凑得还划算吗? 当买买买逐渐成为一种让人痛并快乐着的苦役,或许你会决心践行极简和长期主义。只是,不花钱,就可以置身事外吗?本期节目,作家、文学翻译于是将从风靡全球的《断舍离》谈起,聊一聊被商品裹挟的我们该如何自处,以及一个比购物节让你多花了多少钱更重要的问题:消费主义,如何改变了你是谁? 从于斯曼《逆流》中奢侈品堆砌出的幻梦,到《信任》中金钱流动背后的性别剥削,再到《美国精神病人》中吞噬个体的品牌清单,暴力与物质互为镜像;理解商品,就是理解消费社会中不知不觉被物化的每一个你和我。 最终,我们或许只能承认:在这个时代,消费早已成为生活的隐形剧本,不论如何抵抗,我们最终只能在无限丰饶的物质包围中,被温柔俘获。 【本期主播】 于是 作家、文学翻译。著有《查无此人》《有且仅有》《你我好时光》等长短篇小说、《慌城孤读》等散文集。译有三十余部英美文学作品,包括诺贝尔文学奖得主奥尔加·托卡尔丘克的《云游》、布克奖得主玛格丽特·阿特伍德的《证言》,国际布克奖得主玛丽克·卢卡斯·莱纳菲尔德的《不安之夜》等。 【时间轴】 01:25 消费,是铺张浪费的陷阱,还是促进经济的法宝? 07:48 断舍离与极简,真的能让我们摆脱消费主义吗? 11:54 《东京八平米》:缩减生活的疆域,反而获得自由 18:43 谈谈异化:只浏览不购物,也在为电商做贡献吗? 24:24 一对年轻人辞职逃离大城市后,为什么又回来上班了? 26:20 《小时代》之外,还有更令人崩溃的logo清单式文学 34:10 鲍德里亚《物体系》:到底什么是氛围感? 36:40 《白噪音》:在超市收银台,排队结算一生的账 46:30 《南货店》:消费主义时代之外的爱情是什么样的? 47:28 何为《信任》:为什么说金钱的本质是一种虚构? 01:03:02 萨拉马戈《物托邦》:当人沦为物,而物统治人 01:05:58 消费主义生活剧场:被观看的我们没有秘密 【节目中提到的人名和作品】 人物 亚当·斯密(Adam Smith):英国经济学家、哲学家,被誉为“经济学之父”。代表作《道德情操论》《国富论》。 卡尔·马克思(Karl Marx):德国著名哲学家、政治理论家、经济学家。他最广为人知的作品是1848年与恩格斯合著的小册子《共产党宣言》,以及三卷本的《资本论》。 费迪南·德·索绪尔(Ferdinand de Saussure):瑞士语言学家、符号学家、哲学家,为20世纪语言学和符号学的发展奠定了基础,被誉为现代语言学之父。 罗兰·巴特(Roland Barthes):法国哲学家、符号学家、文学批评家,代表作《神话修辞术》《恋人絮语》《符号学原理》《明室:摄影札记》等。 皮埃尔·布尔迪厄(Pierre Bourdieu):法国哲学家、社会学家、人类学家,著有《区分:判断力的社会批判》《世界的苦难》。 西蒙娜·德·波伏娃(Simone de Beauvoir):法国哲学家、作家、女权主义活动家,代表作《第二性》详细分析女性受压迫的情况,从哲学高度上建立了当代女权主义。 山下英子(Yamashita Hideko):日本收纳师,通过瑜伽参透了放下心中执念的修行哲学“断行,舍行,离行”,出版作品有《断舍离》《断舍离心灵篇》《年龄断舍离》《自在力》等。 吉井忍(Yoshii Shinobu):日籍华语作家,曾在成都留学,法国南部务农,辗转台北、马尼拉、上海等地任新闻编辑。现专职写作,著有《格外的活法》《东京八平米》《四季便当》《东京本屋》。 赫伯特·马尔库塞(Herbert Marcuse):德裔美籍哲学家和社会理论家、哲学家、美学家、法兰克福学派主要代表,批判发达工业社会对人的异化。著有《单向度的人》《爱欲与文明》《审美之维》等。 齐格蒙特·鲍曼(Zygmunt Bauman):当代社会最著名的社会学家与哲学家之一,代表作《工作、消费主义与新穷人》《现代性与大屠杀》《将熟悉变为陌生》。鲍曼指出现代社会已从“生产者社会”转变为“消费者社会”,人的身份由消费能力定义。金钱与消费不再是选择,而是社会生存的必需。 让·鲍德里亚(Jean Baudrillard):法国社会学家、文化理论家,代表作《消费社会》《物体系》《致命的策略》。他提出消费是一种符号体系,奢侈品的价值源自差异化和符号地位,而非实用性。 乔治·佩雷克(Georges Perec):法国当代著名的先锋小说家,他的小说以任意交叉错结的情节和独特的叙事风格见长,代表作《人生拼图版》《物》《沉睡的人》《W或童年回忆》。 唐·德里罗(Don DeLillo):美国后现代小说家,代表作《白噪音》《地下世界》。他以冷峻的风格书写消费主义、媒体、死亡和技术时代的焦虑。 布雷特·伊斯顿·埃利斯(Bret Easton Ellis):美国作家,代表作《美国精神病》。《美国精神病》一度因暴力与色情内容遭争议,却成为解读20世纪末资本文化的经典文本,揭示了消费主义与人格异化的极端结果。 安德烈·塔可夫斯基(Andrei Tarkovsky):前苏联电影导演、编剧,毕业于莫斯科国立电影学院。代表作《牺牲》《乡愁》《潜行者》《镜子》《索拉里斯》等。 罗伯特·布列松(Robert Bresson):法国电影导演、编剧、剪辑。代表作《扒手》《钱》《死囚越狱》《圣女贞德的审判》等,其中《钱》改编自托尔斯泰短篇小说《假息票》。 列夫·托尔斯泰(Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy):十九世纪俄国批判现实主义作家、政治思想家、哲学家,代表作有《战争与和平》《安娜·卡列尼娜》《复活》等。 若利斯·卡尔·于斯曼(Joris-Karl Huysmans):十九世纪法国小说家,西方现代主义文学转型中的重要作家,象征主义的先行者。擅长对颓废主义和悲观主义进行深度剖析,主要作品有《逆流》《该诅咒的人》《起航》等。 若泽·萨拉马戈(José Saramago):葡萄牙作家,主要作品有《修道院纪事》《失明症漫记》《复明症漫记》等。 杰里米·边沁(Jeremy Bentham):英国法理学家、哲学家、经济学家和社会改革者。1785年提出“圆形监狱”概念,尽管实体建筑未在其生前建成,但方案被扩展至学校、医院等场所设计理念中。法国哲学家米歇尔·福柯在《规训与惩罚》中将其阐释为现代权力机制的隐喻,揭示“全景敞视主义”通过空间关系实现个体规训的原理。 书籍 《国富论》《资本论》《第二性》《老年》《断舍离》《极简主义》《东京八平米》《一间自己的房间》《单向度的人》《物体系》《消费社会》《致命的策略》《冷记忆》《物》《美国精神病》《白噪音》《训道学》《假息票》《南货店》《信任》《逆流》《物托邦》 影视 《大和抚子》《吃饱睡足等幸福》《美国精神病人》《白噪音》《钱》《华尔街之狼》 出品方 | 中信书店 出品人|李楠 策划人|蔡欣 制作人 | 何润哲 广岛乱 运营编辑 | 黄鱼 运营支持|李坪芳 设计|王尊一 后期剪辑 | KIMIU 公众号:跳岛FM Talking Literature 跳到更多:即刻|微博|豆瓣|小红书

Are we already living in some kind of fascist or technocratic dystopia? How do we avert the AI dystopia? These are the types of things that you'll see thrown about in op-eds and analysis pieces all over the net and the press. Dystopia is doing some kind of work in our political vocabulary that goes beyond a reference to those iconic dystopian novels or their sort of contemporary successors. … Sometimes politics seems to be so absorbed in the train of fantasy and the imaginary that it becomes worrying. But like it or not, or like specific expressions of the political imagination or not, the political arena is an arena of the imagination. Habermas once said that people don't fight for abstractions, but they do battle with images.                                                                                                                    – Matthew Benjamin Cole, NBN interview 2025 After centuries of contemplating utopias, late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century writers began to warn of dystopian futures. Yet these fears extended beyond the canonical texts of dystopian fiction into post-war discourses on totalitarianism, mass society, and technology, as well as subsequent political theories of freedom and domination. Fear the Future: Dystopia and Political Imagination in the Twentieth Century (U of Michigan Press, 2025) demonstrates the centrality of dystopian thinking to twentieth century political thought, showing the pervasiveness of dystopian images, themes, and anxieties. Offering a novel reading of major themes and thinkers, Fear the Future explores visions of the future from literary figures such as Yevgeny Zamyatin, Aldous Huxley, and George Orwell; political theorists such as Max Weber, Hannah Arendt, Herbert Marcuse, Jürgen Habermas, and Michel Foucault; and mid-century social scientists such as Erich Fromm, Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, David Reisman, C. Wright Mills, and Jacques Ellul. It offers a comparative analysis of distinct intellectual and literary traditions, including modern utopianism and anti-utopianism, mid-century social science, Frankfurt School critical theory, and continental political philosophy. With detailed case studies of key thinkers from the Enlightenment to the late twentieth century, the book synthesizes secondary literature and research from a range of disciplinary areas, including in political theory, intellectual history, literary studies, and utopian studies. This wide-ranging reconstruction shows that while dystopian thinking has illustrated the dangers of domination and dehumanization, it has also illuminated new possibilities for freedom.

Today we're joined by writer, researcher, and podcaster Edward Ongweso Jr. to discuss “the essence of The Dialectic,” as a highly-fictionalized Herbert Marcuse proclaims in Hail, Caesar! Dialectics: what are they, what is their function, and how might their theory and praxis manifest multifariously across the Coens' body of work? We discuss the history of the term, how the concept of keeping two ideas in tension is expressed within individual characters, and we finally tackle the loop-de-loop structure of Inside Llewyn Davis. This conversation is a deep dive and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

To Change All Worlds: Critical Theory from Marx to Marcuse - Book Review

Truth Tribe with Douglas Groothuis

In this episode of Truth Tribe, I review Carl Trueman's newest book, "To Change All Worlds: Critical Theory from Marx to Marcuse." His magisterial 2020 volume, "The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self," established him as an insightful, rigorous, and incisive analyst who writes lucidly about complex ideas and places them into a Christian context. He then followed up this book with a smaller summary volume, which added new material, which was called "Strange New World," which was published in 2022. His newest effort addresses in more depth elements taken up in that previous work, or actually those two previous works, the nature of Critical Theory and its influence in contemporary culture. Although critical race theory has its roots in critical theory, Truman does not say much about critical race theory. We are again in his debt for an in depth analysis, rich in original source research and pertinent for understanding contemporary cultural and political currents. Hegel was right in at least one thing: to understand an age, you must understand its philosophy, and as Christians, we must expose it and counter it with biblical truth. Truman, patiently and non polemically, explains critical theory. To do so, he explores the philosophies of major figures such as Hegel, Karl Marx, and Sigmund Freud, and culturally significant thinkers from the German Frankfurt school such as Herbert Marcuse and Max Horkheimer. He also consults Neo-Marxist thinkers such as John Lucas and Karl Koch and the Neo-Freudian Wilhelm Reich as a historian. Truman's aim is more elucidation than reputation, and he exposes difficult ideas in readable prose—no mean feat. However, he is wisely critical of critical theory to summarize and review a book that explores several dense thinkers, and their significance is challenging. I'd rather teach it than review it. However, several salient ideas emerge, which I will discuss here.

Communism 3.0: Corporate Communism | James Lindsay

New Discourses

The EVILution of Communism Workshop, Session 4 Communism is a religious view that has evolved and adapted over the last two centuries, including right up to the present day. Understanding the developments and threats in our present world requires understanding what Communism really is, especially in its Marxist variants, and how it has developed and changed over the years. In response to this need, James Lindsay of New Discourses held a four-lecture workshop series on the EVILution of Communism in Dallas, Texas, at the start of August 2024. In this fourth and final lecture in the series, Lindsay picks up the loose threads from the previous two lectures and weaves them together to describe a new Communism for the twenty-first century, a "Communism 3.0" or "Twenty-first Century Communism." Lindsay characterizes this new model of Communism as the "Chinese model," derived from the practical implementation by former CCP leader Deng Xiaoping in the People's Republic of China, where it was tested first. Meanwhile, in the West, a parallel model was developed tracking not just with Deng Xiaoping Theory but also with the Western Marxist sensibilities of Herbert Marcuse, demanding a more "Sustainable" and "Inclusive" economy. Calling the model "Corporate" or "Corporatist" Communism, Lindsay explains how this model of Communism blends a Communist political theory and structure with a Fascist economic model of productive forces, creating the tyrannical hybrid that is intended to be the future for mankind both East, under the Chinese Communist Party, and West, under the United Nations and affiliates. This groundbreaking lecture provides a basis for completely changing the discourses around what's happening in our world today.

Marxism is destructive, on purpose, and being befuddled about their destructive programs doesn't help us stop them. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the simple idea necessary for this shift in perspective: they have different goals than the rest of us. In fact, their goals are, in the words of Herbert Marcuse, to "protest against the totality of a well-functioning, prosperous society." Join James for this important episode to understand this crucial point. New book!

In this episode, we speak with Roderick Ferguson about two of Josh's all-time favorite books, One-Dimensional Queer and Aberrations in Black: Toward a Queer of Color Critique.  The former which problematizes single-issue politics that came to dominate, disrupt, capture, and destroy the gay liberation movement—and has continued to plague queer (anti-) politics today.  And the latter which discusses the regulation of sexual difference and its role in circumscribing Black-African culture.  Throughout the conversation, we discuss the concept of one-dimensionality—which Ferguson borrows from Herbert Marcuse—and how the mobilization of the concept in queer struggles “[drove] a wedge between queer politics and other progressive formations.” We also discuss how the structural realities imposed through capitalism, racialized violence and neglect, have made the nuclear family unit a “material impossibility” for non-white people—namely Black-African people.  Roderick A. Ferguson is the William Robertson Coe Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and American Studies at Yale University.  He is also faculty in the Yale Prison Education Initiative. He is the author of One-Dimensional Queer, We Demand: The University and Student Protests, The Reorder of Things: The University and Its Pedagogies of Minority Difference, and Aberrations in Black: Toward a Queer of Color Critique. He is the co-editor with Grace Hong of the anthology Strange Affinities: The Gender and Sexual Politics of Comparative Racialization. He is also co-editor with Erica Edwards and Jeffrey Ogbar of Keywords of African American Studies (NYU, 2018). He is the 2020 recipient of the Kessler Award from the Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS).

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 93 Surely you've noticed that Woke doesn't work. Of course it doesn't. It's not just bad ideas put into operation by bad people and obvious grifters, though, that causes the problem. Woke Marxism isn't even interested in making things work. In fact, it's worse than that, even. Woke Marxism is, by definition, hostile to making things work. It is, as Herbert Marcuse put it in An Essay on Liberation (https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/marcuse/works/1969/essay-liberation.htm ) in 1969, a protest against "the totality of a well-functioning and prosperous society," even against its very Platonic Form. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay shows you exactly where this mentality was adopted by the radical Left that became the Woke Left to explain why Woke Marxism cannot possibly make anything work. It's opposed to the very concept! New book!

Chris Rufo has the #1 book on Amazon with his new chronicle of how critical race theory and cultural Marxism went from the fringes of American life to the country's ruling ideology. In three words: It's about Mao. Rufo digs into how extremists like Herbert Marcuse infiltrated schools, non-profit, and government, creating an alliance between elite intelligentsia and urban rioters to abolish America's past in the pursuit of a new dystopia. Then, he and Charlie turn to the crucial question of: How do we launch the counter-revolution, and turn it all around?Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
