<description>The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 186

The dialectic is ultimately the engine of all Marxist and Hegelian thought and also underlies Fascism and the conflict between Fascism and Marxism. It is also fundamentally Sociological Alchemy, as the Soviets both knew and admitted. Based on Marx's ideas about dialectical materialism as the fundamental law of all of Nature, including Man, the Soviets outlined three key dialectical laws and taught them to every school child and party member. First, there is the transformation of quantity into quality, and vice-versa. Second, there is the struggle and unification of opposites. Third, there is the "negation of the negation," which most people know as "problem, reaction, solution" in practice. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay introduces these three dialectical laws of Marxist and Soviet thought and brings them alive for you while comparing them to the social alchemy of George Soros and the ancient wizardry that tried to turn lead into gold.

The Alchemy of the Dialectic

<description>Saving American Liberty, Session 7

During the 20th century, or the Modern Era, material conditions were king, but as the Information Era of the 21st century (construed broadly) emerged, they have become less important to our politics. At the New Discourses-hosted Saving American Liberty conference held in Dallas, Texas, on August 22-23, 2025, founder of New Discourses, James Lindsay, explains in this important fourth lecture how thinking changed as the Modern Era gave way to an Information Era many consider to be "Postmodern." Continuing from his previous lecture in the series, Lindsay explains that "Woke" sociognostic thinking evolved along with this change, which can be characterized by a transition from thinking man is produced by his material conditions to believing he is produced by his social (structural) conditions, which "Woke" radicals need to seize in order to remake man in their own images. Join him for a proper introduction to the "Woke Right" as a Reaction movement against the postmodern neo-Marxism of the Woke Left.

Twenty-First Century Woke—Left and Right | James Lindsay

<description>New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 137

Virtually every institution in the world runs not only on official knowledge but also on something called "institutional knowledge," which is passed from older "generations" in the institution to younger ones. What happens when there's an interruption in the accumulation and transmission of institutional knowledge, though? Eventually, the answer is institutional collapse, but it usually takes us by surprise because our institutions keep running just fine until it's all of a sudden too late. In this eye-opening episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay introduces you to this important topic. Join him and start thinking about how we can deal with it before the catastrophe arrives.

The Impending Disaster of Institutional Knowledge Bombs

<description>Saving American Liberty, Session 6

At the Saving American Liberty learning seminar hosted by New Discourses in Dallas, Texas, on August 22-23, 2025, New Discourses founder James Lindsay and Sovereign Nations founder Michael O'Fallon sat down in front of the audience for a live, unscripted, and raw discussion about the circumstances and challenges Lindsay has faced for standing up to the "New Right" (or, if you want, "Dissident Right," "Postliberal Right," or "Woke Right"). The audience was shocked to hear what Lindsay revealed. Their conversation wasn't limited only to this issue, however. It also tied Lindsay's personal experience into the broader context of the radical movements we're facing from both Left and Right at the same time, helping people to make sense of the bigger play that's taking place that is neither Left nor Right but using radical elements within both to cut our society apart like a pair of scissors. Join Lindsay and O'Fallon and their live audience for this unique conversation so you can gain clarity and perspective on what's happening all around us in the war against Woke.

Panel: From Woke Left to Woke Right | James Lindsay & Michael O'Fallon

<description>Saving American Liberty, Session 5

In this session from the New Discourses event 'Saving American Liberty,' Michael O’Fallon argues that global political, corporate, and religious institutions are jointly reshaping Western society through “degrowth” policies, sustainability mandates, and ideological frameworks like ESG and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, which he sees as mechanisms for centralizing control and limiting individual freedom. He contrasts the West’s self-imposed economic contraction with China’s expansion through the Belt and Road Initiative, claiming this shift empowers China while weakening America’s global position. O’Fallon warns that identity-based conflicts, migration pressures, and urban destabilization are fragmenting Western societies into competing tribal enclaves, leaving them vulnerable to foreign influence. He concludes that COVID-era restrictions, digital surveillance, and AI-driven governance signal a broader transition from a merit-based, liberty-oriented system to one that demands ideological compliance from both citizens and institutions.
