James Lindsay discusses Cultural Marxism to European Audience
Posted on 5/2/23 at 7:23 am
Posted on 5/2/23 at 7:23 am
Saw this last night and it's well worth the 30 minute run time. Lindsay, for once, is pretty to the point here and shows how everything we're currently seeing is just repackaged Marxism...from Critical Race Theory, to Gender Theory, to Radical Feminism. Super concise and really does explain why if you don't see this, there no way to push back against it.

I'm about 2/3 through and this is very good. Giving this thread a bump for you because it's really worth the watch.

His podcasts can be a bit fulsome, but they’re illuminating.
It’s easy to think “These activists are really dumb.” They’re not. They’re Marxists. The CRT activists are Marxists. The gender and queer activists are Marxist. And it’s almost dumb to address their arguments about race or capital or gender or sexuality. The underpinnings are rotten to the core. They don’t care if they lose the philosophical argument as long as they continue to destabilize society.

Agreed. That was outstanding.

It is infuriating that more people haven't picked up on this. I think too many older people have the notion in their heads that "it'll never happen here" with a lot of stuff culturally that's going on. To me, it's pretty clear that we're in the middle of a communist revolution, yet people look at me like I have three heads if I actually say that.

I don’t think most understand the background or have necessarily put the pieces together and then come to grips with the fact that we are very much smack dab in the middle of a Marxist revolution in America.
I recently purchased a book called “The Devil and Karl Marx” on Communism’s long march of death, deception, and infiltration in Western societies. I think we all need to plug in, and come to grips with the fact of what and who we are dealing with. Most who are involved in this woke garbage don’t even know it, but are pawns doing their part to usher in a very dark chapter in history. It’s amazing though. It’s not that difficult to miss if you simply reflect upon the tactics used in every communist nation to divide and conquer, and compare them to what we see happening in this country before our very eyes, and which took place almost overnight it seems, which reeks of Marxist revolution by very careful design. This has all been orchestrated. People are just playing their part, either by participation, denial, or opposition. There’s NO middle ground in this war. Everyone will have to make a stand for it or against it in their own personal life at some point or another.

Great summary of what's going on. Everybody should make time to listen to this.

They are. And yeah, he likes to listen to himself talk more than I do, which is saying something.
But this was far more concise and got to the point and he laid it out perfectly I think.
This needs to be condensed even further into either a PragerU type video, or one of these.

Definitely will watch. Thanks.

At some point we will wake up and realize that we were taught tolerance and this is a weakness and it is a very, very hard concept to break free from when a decent/moral person knows it's best to be tolerant of your neighbor.
But tolerance is a trojan horse for societal rot. There is a fine line between being tolerant but not allowing that rot to grow. In fact, it may be a better analogy to say it's like an impossibly small thread to fit through an impossibly small hole.
We must learn to fight back, actively, now. We are being invaded at our southern border and the enemy within our borders already has shrunk the GOOD part of our culture to pure impotency.
Good men (and women) have gotta start fighting back immediately, and proactively.

It's this. I mean, most people don't have any idea what Marxism actually is, and they certainly couldn't connect the dots the way Lindsay does here.
Even so, and as much as I think he's 100% correct, I've never seen him REALLY lay out a game plan for fighting back. I get that their games sets traps all over and we mostly walk right into them because we're playing an entirely different game...but what ARE the ways to battle them?
The Left has foot soldiers that have no clue about the specifics of any of this, obviously. We don't have that. People who will make the right movies, not because they understand the chess moves taking place, but because they just "know" it's the correct counter move...if that makes sense.

Currently reading his book Marxification of Education and it’s very insightful. He’s super sharp but as you stated in the OP, it is very deep and thick. I’ve bookmarked to watch this evening.

I don't think older people are the problem here. This is why it's vital we all get involved in our local politics. School Boards, City council, county commissioners, etc. That is where an immediate impact can take place and that will take the younger crowd.

Yep, 100%. Race, gender, class.

Like he says at the end- the best thing you can do it stick to your principles. We need moral courage. The woke disease is spreading because our morals have eroded or we're afraid to speak up. We should be teaching our kids and promoting traditional morals and values. Kinda hard to do that without God and the church. So we need to get back to that.
If you do nothing and are overly tolerant, then you are giving everything away without a fight. But if you fight back too aggressively, you will be the bad guy and give them the moral high ground. Basically theyre preying on our best qualities-generosity, tolerance, kindness, etc and taking advantage of it.

I guess what I'm getting at is that there are a lot of Republican voters in my dad's age group (mid 60s) who grew up being taught that communism would never happen here and refuse to believe it will, even as we sit in the middle of a communist revolution.

No such discussion is complete without including neo-Marxism's "vector" which has been integral in assisting the spread of the poison - Tavistock.
How the two camps forged an alliance of convenience with each other through their two "bridges" Kurt Lewin and Eric Trist.
Particularly with a Western European audience - certainly requiring specific mention of Britain which has lived under this destructive albatross for over 100 years now, since its reprehensible beginnings as "Wellington House."
Is it at all possible that such a populace, nation, culture that once had a world empire has not been aware of the yoke they've been under for now over 100 years.
Or has the leftist conditioning process been as successful there as it's been here.

Notice, he didn't say much about how to defeat this. He says keep your head and don't allow yourself to be provoked. Well . . . how long is that going to work out?
We've already seen these forces erupt in violence in our streets. We've already seen property destruction and violence toward innocent strangers based on appearance. We've already seen what happens when this comes to your doorstep and you attempt to defend yourself.
Our corporations, our institutions, our media and academia are all HOPELESSLY CORRUPT. By all appearances, this war is already lost. So . . . what now?
A revolution of this magnitude is not going to fade away. A revolution of this magnitude calls for counter-revolution. If we don't reclaim and renew the ethos of The Enlightenment, and soon . . . this world will slip into a wretched NEW Dark Age. Only in this age, there are many more billions of people. That is not inconsequential. The scope and the scale of the horrors of a NEW Dark Age in this environment are frightening to imagine.

To me, when this philosophy got its first real toehold in the zeitgeist is when the term "hate crime" started getting traction in the mid 80s. Once "hate crime laws" (laws specifically designed to make greater penalties for crimes determined as being committed primarily with a racial/religious/etc bias against the victim) started getting passed, that was the point at which the snowball effect really got started.
From there, minority groups (not just racial nor religious, but groups segregated by behaviors, proclivities, etc) who felt excluded (whether they were or not) just labeled their exclusion as "hate". Now we're in a place where if someone does not promote (not just "support") any group who claims a status of feeling victimized through exclusion (much less ostracization) can label those not promoting them as being "full of hate". The soft-minded (of which many in our news media are members) will flock to their side to promote them, thus giving them the feeling and appearance of having a worthwhile stance when they often don't.
