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!

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 173 Beginning in 1920 and running until its catastrophic failure in 1945, the National Socialists under Adolf Hitler ran a grand societal experiment: the Nazi Experiment. While it is general knowledge that this experiment was a total failure and abjectly evil, what constitutes the experiment isn't well known. As a result, people (especially young right-wing people) are forgetting the Nazis were truly evil and sadly think they, somehow, can resurrect this experiment and make it work this time. To address this rising concern, host James Lindsay of the New Discourses podcast is publishing a winding series on the Nazi Experiment. In this episode, he reads through chapter 5 of the second volume of Hitler's Mein Kampf to show just how deeply the Nazi "racialist" worldview was embedded in everything the Nazis did. As usual, much of the content is horrifying for the sane but aware listener of today because so much of it is being repeated on social media, particularly by our young people. Join him to understand further why Never Again is now.

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. Join him to see how they think and why it's so insane. Latest book!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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. Join him to learn about the threat to MAGA and America coming from the Woke Right and its attempted coup.

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.
