New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 125 Is America just an idea? No, it isn't, but America is based on an idea. That idea is simple: free men and women can govern themselves by taking personal responsibility, and organizing the political structure this way will produce both liberty and prosperity. No other nation in the history of the world has been explicitly based on an idea in this way, and the results have been tremendous. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay reminds every American of the idea his country was based on and calls them back to it. Join him to be inspired and have your faith in America restored! Latest from New Discourses Press!

Saving American Liberty, Session 1 From August 22-23, 2025, in Dallas, Texas, New Discourses was proud to host a learning seminar event called Saving American Liberty, featuring talks from New Discourses founder James Lindsay and the founder of Sovereign Nations and New Discourses partner, Michael O'Fallon. The event opened with a talk by Lindsay outlining what is known as the "Stakeholder Economy." You may associate this idea with the World Economic Forum's "Stakeholder Capitalism" model, ESG scoring, or the UN's Agenda 2030, and you're right. In this penetrating lecture, Lindsay explains what the Stakeholder Economy model is, how it works, its historical roots with elements from the Soviet Communist model the Nazi German economy, and how it's applied to our lives today, both in the CCP and throughout the West. Join him for this important lecture on the shape of the dark future being pressed upon us. Latest from New Discourses Press!

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 174 Here on the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay is doing a sprawling series on the German National Socialist movement to pull back the curtain on the realities of the Nazi Experiment. Primarily, this series covers a set of readings directly from Adolf Hitler's manifesto and autoethnography, Mein Kampf (reading from the uncensored Ford translation). In this fifth volume of the series, Lindsay tackles the "25 Points of the Nazi Party" along with the 12th and final chapter of the first volume of Mein Kampf, which is its proper setting. As Hitler gives 15 more points for Nazi organization in that chapter, we arrive at 40 organizational points and principles for the Nazi Party. Join us for this next episode in giving the world a denuded look at Nazism. Latest book!

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 124 Mao Zedong developed one of the most devastating dialectical techniques for mass mobilization ever conceived: the mass line. The idea with the mass line is that it is drawn from the masses, repackaged into a campaign for Communist Party goals, and then fed back to the masses to mobilize them to accomplish those goals, often including ruthless purges. For students of the New Discourses material, this pattern will seem familiar, both in terms of George Soros's (https://newdiscourses.com/2024/04/the-reflexive-alchemy-of-george-soros/) dialectic of "reflexivity" (https://newdiscourses.com/2024/06/reflexivity-leftism-in-the-21st-century/) and Paulo Freire's (https://amzn.to/4fkVck7) disastrous "generative themes" (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/05/paulo-freires-schools-new-discourses-bullets-ep-7/) method of education (which Freire (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/10/paulo-freires-critical-method-of-education/) openly admits he got from Mao). In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains the mass line and its relationship to these other ideas. You don't want to miss it. Latest book!

Have you ever had an experience that you did not consent to but that was enjoyable, transformational, or even pleasurable? This week Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Dr. Avgi Saketopoulou (@⁠avgolis98⁠), queer psychoanalyst and author of ⁠Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk, Race, Traumatophilia⁠, to discuss queering consent. As part of our discussion, Avgi shares stories of times when clients experienced events outside of their consent, including in sexual situations. Consent is a very nuanced topic, but it tends not to be talked about that way. We do not live in a vacuum and as such consent can be messier than people tend to want to consider. For example, think about our favorite, Teenage Bounty Hunters. When Sterling gathers her courage and kisses April, she doesn't ask for her consent first, and knowing April it probably would not have gone over too well if she had. Even though April may not have consented to this kiss, she finds that she enjoys it. This is a transformational experience for the two of them, and it happens outside of the realm of consent. As queer people, we have quite a good amount of experience of running opposite to societal norms. We step beyond our comfort zones just to exist in a heteronormative world. As such, we tend to better understand that many transformational experiences rely on our willingness to step beyond safety. Even so, we tend to still prize consent in a way that is more fantasy than reality. It is just not nearly as cut and dry when applied to real life situations.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 123 The world of Woke doesn't believe in truth, not at all. It is a world in which truth may or may not exist but is, assuredly, inaccessible. In place of actual truth, Woke thinking believes there are narratives which are regarded as true because powerful groups have the capacity to make people believe in them as truths. Thus, a Woke perspective is that information is "narratives all the way down," resulting in a kind of unresolvable, subjectivist conflict and power struggle over everything. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay reads briefly from "The Book of Woke" (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/04/the-book-of-woke-introducing-critical-constructivism/) in order to help you understand this bizarre and dangerous (ultimately relativist) foundational perspective of Wokeness.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 172 The "Woke" worldview, however it manifests, has a proper name, and it is "critical constructivism." Helpfully, there's a book about critical constructivism (https://amzn.to/3EuM2mZ) specifically, written by the man who first outlined it by that name, Joe L. Kincheloe. James Lindsay, host of the New Discourses Podcast, calls this book "The Book of Woke" and has been reading from it as a loose podcast series to help people understand what "Woke" really means. It's not a slur, a smear, or even a slang term anymore. It means something quite specific. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, James Lindsay takes you through a series of bullet points outlined by Kincheloe along with the twelve defining points of critical constructivism so you can better understand what "Woke" is. Join him to sharpen your understanding. Latest book!

What would justice look like if it spoke in a queer voice? How might legal judgments shift if they were written through the lived experiences and realities of LGBTQIA+ individuals? In this session, we explore the bold and imaginative work of The Queer Judgments Project, an initiative that seeks to re-think, re-write, and re-invent legal judgments through queer and complementary perspectives. Emerging from a series of conversations among scholars, activists, and legal thinkers, the project asks a vital question: how could legal decisions involving sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics be expressed differently, more inclusively, more justly? At the heart of the discussion is the project's first major output: an edited collection that offers 26 re-imagined judgments and commentaries from across the globe. Through this collection, contributors bring their diverse disciplinary backgrounds and personal insights to bear on the law, queering traditional frameworks and imagining alternative approaches to legal reasoning. This session will engage with the creative, critical, and deeply personal work that underpins these re-written judgments. It will reflect on how the project aims not just to critique existing legal structures but to open up new possibilities for justice that better reflect the experiences of LGBTQIA+ and other minoritized communities. This year, BIC celebrates Pride Month through a series of programs that embrace Queerness as it is — unconforming, changing and alternative. Every program aims to embody the fluid and non-normative possibilities of existence that queerness creates, while fostering a community that welcomes difference in an unbending society, whether that be through new models of living or unique modes of self-expression. Pride, Insists Upon Itself! In this episode of BIC Talks, Divya Kandukuri, Siddharth Narrain, Manavi Atri and Senthorun (Sen) Raj will be in conversation with Raju Behera. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in Jun 2025. Subscribe to the BIC Talks Podcast on your favorite podcast app!

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 122 Everyone who knows anything about Marxism knows that it seeks to "seize the means of production" and institute a socialist tyranny through a violent revolution against the producers and consumers of society. What many people don't know is that Marx didn't just outline a single "win condition" for Marxism. He outlined the backup plan too: total destruction. From the first lines of the Manifest of the Communist Party, Karl Marx makes it clear that his class-conflict model always ends in one of two ways: "a revolutionary reconstitution of the society at large or in the common ruin of the contending classes." In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains why a Marxist insurgency against any institution is happy to achieve either of these two outcomes: control or destruction. Join him to learn the truth about the evil ideologies based on this logic. Latest book!

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 171 Welcome to the third volume in the crucially important New Discourses Podcast series on "the Nazi Experiment," which is largely but not entirely a direct exposé of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf. In the previous episodes (Prequel (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/03/woke-nationalism-and-the-nazi-experiment/); Ep. 1 (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/06/the-nazi-experiment-vol-1-the-nazi-racial-worldview/); Ep. 2 (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/07/the-nazi-experiment-hitlers-nazi-race-ideology)), we revealed that Hitler very much intended National Socialism to be a grand experiment in a totalitarian state based on a new political ideology based in what he called a "racialist World-concept" (Ford translation). We explored how blatantly his project was based on racial occultism and eugenics and the racial hatred of Jews. In this episode of the series, host James Lindsay reads from the fourth chapter of Volume 2 of Mein Kampf to show how Hitler's worldview required the right elevation of the individual through his subordination to the worldview and service to his Nazi experiment. Join James to peel back another layer of this stinking onion and unmask much of the propaganda we're seeing from bad actors aligned with the Woke Right today. Latest book!

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 121 There are a lot of names we could give the obvious problem on the radical Right that has infiltrated and is threatening MAGA today. It used to be called the "Alt Right," and the Left used that term to mount a successful defense and even recruitment campaign for their causes (remember: Joe Biden ran for president and "won" based on Leftist reaction to the Alt Right). Another, better, term for the phenomenon is the "Woke Right." It is not just more accurate and true, it is also strategic. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains why the Woke Left cannot use the framing "Woke Right" the way it uses other labels, like "Alt Right" or "Neo-Fascist Right," in effect short circuiting the dialectic they depend on to drive their activism.

What if everything you've been taught about goal setting is actually working against you?What if the rigid structure of SMART goals is crushing your creativity, disconnecting you from your body, and forcing you into a binary that simply doesn't fit who you are?Today's guest, Zephyr (Zeph) Williams (they/them), is an anti-hustle business strategist who helps radical entrepreneurs build "breathe-easy businesses." When Zeph and I connected over our mutual loathing of SMART goals on social media, I knew we had to have this conversation.In this episode, we're diving deep into why traditional goal-setting methods fail so many of us—especially neurodivergent folks and anyone who doesn't fit the conventional mold. Zeph introduces their revolutionary SLIC method (Sustainable, Long-term, Iterative, Consistent) and shares why self-care isn't optional—it's strategic. But the real magic happens when we land on a beautiful reframe that might just change how you think about achievement forever.Want to see how No-BS OKRs fit into a coherent Connected Strategic Stack?This No-BS Connected Strategy Guide shows you what “good” looks like.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 170 It is long past time we take a look at the Communist Manifesto (instead of just sending it to dubious Woke Right outlets and getting them to publish it: https://newdiscourses.com/2024/12/a-communist-manifesto-for-christian-nationalists-testing-the-woke-right/). Obviously, this infamous document (pdf: https://www.marxists.org/admin/books/manifesto/Manifesto.pdf) is not the beginning point of Communism, but is the beginning point of organized Communism, particularly of the Marxist type, which we have recently (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/06/communism-is-not-atheist) and thoroughly discussed. In this long-overdue episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you through the main body of the Manifesto of the Communist Party: preface, chapter one, and chapter two. In a subsequent episode (Volume Two in this mini-series) he will cover a later addition called "The Principles of Communism." There's a lot here, and you won't want to miss it. Latest book!

This week I spoke with longtime activist and author Dean Spade about the complexities of relationships and the challenges we face in a society shaped by disposability culture. We discussed the fear of being wrong in public and of conflict and feedback. He spoke about why self-help often falls short in addressing systemic issues and shared some insights from his latest book, Love in a F*cked Up World, which offers practical advice on navigating personal growth and connection in a world that often feels isolating and disconnected. I loved both the book and this conversation.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 120 What happened in Germany from the early 1920s through 1945 is one of the greatest atrocities in human history. It was so bad, in fact, that it became a symbol of ultimate human evil eclipsing even Communism. This had its benefits, but it also presents a weakness. "Never forget" became "we forgot." In knowing that the Nazi Experiment was abjectly evil, we lost sight of why and how it was evil. To remedy this, James Lindsay, host of the New Discourses Podcast and New Discourses Bullets, has begun a sprawling podcast series on the "Nazi Experiment" (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/06/the-nazi-experiment-vol-1-the-nazi-racial-worldview/) you won't want to miss. This episode of New Discourses Bullets introduces the series, its rationale, and its unique framing. Since Never Again is now, this is crucial listening. Latest book!

Socialist Subjectivities: Queering East Germany under Honecker (University of Michigan Press, 2025) works within the logics of queer time to reanimate East German subjectivities in the 1970s and 1980s beyond the narrative of the German Democratic Republic's long march towards demise. While East Germany certainly ended in dissolution, not all East Germans experienced late socialism in a singular manner. Rather, even after a generation of building socialism, East Germans under Honecker continued to pursue a range of socialist presents and a multiplicity of socialist futures up to and beyond 1989. This edited volume utilizes queer temporalities to interrogate how individuals lived non-normative possibilities in a highly normative world. Whether one was an apparatchik, artist, or alcoholic, the everyday interactions, experiences, and rituals of late socialism proved crucial to establishing the conditions around which subjecthood was constructed.

Socialist Subjectivities: Queering East Germany under Honecker (University of Michigan Press, 2025) works within the logics of queer time to reanimate East German subjectivities in the 1970s and 1980s beyond the narrative of the German Democratic Republic's long march towards demise. While East Germany certainly ended in dissolution, not all East Germans experienced late socialism in a singular manner. Rather, even after a generation of building socialism, East Germans under Honecker continued to pursue a range of socialist presents and a multiplicity of socialist futures up to and beyond 1989. This edited volume utilizes queer temporalities to interrogate how individuals lived non-normative possibilities in a highly normative world. Whether one was an apparatchik, artist, or alcoholic, the everyday interactions, experiences, and rituals of late socialism proved crucial to establishing the conditions around which subjecthood was constructed.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 169 Continuing the unique New Discourses treatment of the Nazi Experiment, which the Nazis proposed as a way for Germany to solve its "Weimar problems," we find ourselves having just learned that the Nazi "World Concept" (worldview or weltanschauung) is "racialist." But what does it contain? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes us backwards into Chapter 11 of Volume 1 of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf to explain exactly what Hitler believed the "master race" thing was about, and who it was against (you know who!). Join him to continue peeling back the layers of lies we are currently being fed about the Nazis and to learn how horrifying their "experiment" really was always intended to be. Latest book!

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 119 We're inundated with messages that somehow "diversity is our strength" and the path to that strength and growth is through "inclusion." We also know that term is a Communist scam, and we've talked about that at length in the past, repeatedly. Well, it's time for a defense of exclusion as it is rightly meant by Communists, specifically the "fundamental right to exclude," which is a pillar of what defines private property. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains how this property, the fundamental right to exclude, is the basis for all wealth. It's not just an important episode to catch but one that's crucial to share with your kids who aren't getting these lessons at school. New book!

This week Jacinta and Lachlan talk to artist and academic Drew Pettifer. As an austistic ADHDer, Drew chats about growing up queer and neurodivergent, finding connection through creativity, and why telling overlooked stories—especially queer ones—matters so much (as well as the intersections between queer identity and neurodivergent identity).  It's a fascinating interview and was a pleasure talking with Drew. You're bound to learn something along the way! You can find Drew's website here, as well as his RMIT profile here.   Resources: Dr. Alison Bennett: website, RMIT profile, "Queering the Paradigm" - Talking Pictures Nora Nord: website, "Neuroqueer Artists with ADHD Gain Visibility in a Photo Series" - ADDitude Dr. Nick Walker: website, "Neuroqueer Heresies" "Defiant" by Athena Lynn Michaels Dillon & Michael Scott Monje Jr.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 168 Is Communism atheist? Well, it depends on what you mean by "atheist." Communism certainly wants belief in God out of the picture, since it believes instead in Idealized Man as his own deity, but that's still believing in an idealized Communistic Man (which is a collective, not an individual) as a deity. It builds an entire destructive religion around this central and Luciferian evil, in fact. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay draws from several of Marx's writings to illustrate exactly what the relationship between Communism and atheism really is, and it's not what most people think. Atheism is "far from" Communism, in fact, Marx tells us. Join him to understand this crucially important point about one of the most evil ideologies ever to grip the mind of man. New book!

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 118 Much of what Woke does in practice boils down to a certain kind of intelligence maneuver that might be referred to as "displacement." It's important to understand this activity because it is a bread-and-butter technique of Woke manipulation. In short, the Woke are masters of striking a target and getting the target to believe the strike came from somewhere else, which they will then attack instead of attacking the Woke. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this important manipulative tactic so you can learn to see it and get out from under its spell. New book!

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 167 As recently introduced on the New Discourses Podcast, the Nazis performed an experiment of sorts (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/03/woke-nationalism-and-the-nazi-experiment/) between the mid 1920s and 1945, when that experiment met its catastrophic end. Framing what they did as an experiment is a valuable perspective. They found themselves in a certain set of unpleasant societal conditions, and they turned to Nazism to solve their problems. It failed. Miserably and disastrously. That experiment is therefore a warning to the world: if you find yourselves in conditions that seem similar, do not go the way of the Nazis. In this New Discourses podcast series, host James Lindsay walks the listener through portions of Hitler's Mein Kampf to explain clearly what the basis for the Nazi Experiment was, so that we might understand it. In this first episode, he reads from Chapter 1 of Volume 2 of that wretched book to explain the Nazi racial worldview (weltanshauung), which built the state we know and rightly hate on deliberate, knowing "racialism" (racism).

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 117 The MAGA Civil War is upon us, as many people have noticed. But what is it? Where did it come from? What are the sides, and who is right? In a recent long essay (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/05/the-woke-rights-elitist-coup-inside-the-maga-civil-war/) and New Discourses Podcast episode, James Lindsay outlined the origins and nature of the MAGA Civil War in unprecedented detail, but it is unfortunately very long.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 166 MAGA is in danger. It isn't just the attack from the Woke Left that it has to worry about these days, either. There's an internal coup attempt happening, trying to take over MAGA from within and steal its thunder. In a recent big essay published on New Discourses (read it here), James Lindsay explains in unprecedented detail what Woke is, how it operates as a false-elitist cult, how it manifests on both Left and Right, and finally, how the Woke Right is using a mechanism called "elitist capture" to run a four-step coup of MAGA and America that has sparked a "MAGA Civil War" in response. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, Lindsay, as host, reads the near-final draft of this essay with minimal additional commentary.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 165 The "New Atheism" movement, which lasted more or less from 2005 until 2015, was a cringey and curious thing, and it has become an object of much mythology, particularly on the highly online, largely Christian Right. Unfortunately, they don't know much about it, leading them to turn it into propaganda for a cause that mirrors it more than many might find comfortable. In this casual episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay goes through quite a lot of the history of the New Atheism movement as it really was and compares it against Critical Religion Theory, Marxism, and, ironically, the Woke Right.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 116 "To rebel is justified," Mao told his young Red Guard, loosing them on China at the beginning of the brutal Cultural Revolution. He wanted them to expose the "capitalist roaders" who had ruined everything in the Great Leap Forward and afterwards, as he led them to believe. "Smash the Four Olds!" he commanded, and his young, thoughtless followers did, breaking every taboo of Chinese culture to vent their frustrations with a situation they were led to believe was intolerable because of their class enemies and wrong thinking. Today, it's not Mao; it's MAGA influencers. It's not capitalist roaders being hunted; it's "neocons," whatever they mean by that. It's not the Four Olds that must be smashed; it's "Boomer mentality." In this long episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay sends a chilling and important message to young conservatives in America and beyond, warning them of how they might be being used, only to be ruined and discarded later.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 164 What is the Woke worldview? It's called "critical constructivism." How is it adopted? The formal name for picking up "Wokeness" is adopting "critical hermeneutics." What in the world does that mean? It means viewing the world through lenses of power as described by critical theory and social constructivism. That is, it means reading Marxian analysis into all perceptions of the world and believing this makes you more "enlightened." In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you through another segment of what he calls "The Book of Woke," i.e., Critical Constructivism: A Primer (https://amzn.to/3EuM2mZ ), by Joe L. Kincheloe, a (late) critical education theorist. Join him to have all these questions answered and to clarify your thinking about what "Woke" means even more.

Is the radical right becoming the very thing it hates? Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with Dr. James Lindsay to unpack the rise of the "Woke Right"—a faction of online reactionaries using the same tactics of victimhood, outrage mobs, and cult-like behavior once exclusive to the radical left. Together, they explore how parasitic ideologies hijack belief systems, mimic virtue, and weaponize social media to manipulate the masses. From cluster B psychopathology to Nazi apologetics, from Marx to modern meme culture, this is a deep dive into the psychological and ideological rot infecting both ends of the spectrum.If you've sensed that something is deeply wrong in today's culture wars—on both sides—this episode puts it into words. Dr. James Lindsay has written eight books spanning a range of subjects including education, postmodern theory, and critical race theory. Dr. Lindsay is the Founder of New Discourses, an organization dedicated to shining the light of objective truth in subjective darkness.  Dr. Lindsay is the co-author of “Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity―and Why This Harms Everybody” and is the author of “Race Marxism,” as well as his newest book, “The Marxification of Education.” Dr. Lindsay has been a featured guest on Fox News, Glenn Beck, Joe Rogan, and NPR, and he has spoken at the Oxford Union and the EU Parliament. This episode was filmed on April, 29th, 2025.  | Links | For Dr. James Lindsay: On X https://x.com/ConceptualJames?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor On YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@newdiscourses/videos Read his latest book, “The Queering of the American Child: How a New School Religious Cult Poisons the Minds and Bodies of Normal Kids” https://a.co/d/9lpXvGc

In particular, there are at least two broad types of propaganda, what the Soviet dictator Lenin termed "agitation" and "propaganda." They're not quite the same thing. Agitation is supposed to influence your emotions; propaganda is meant to make you misunderstand.

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.
