Communism has come to the West | Dr James Lindsay | EP34

For the first time in public, Dr James Lindsay explains precisely how he thinks the radical progressive ’woke’ movement which is sweeping through western institutions could lead our societies to a very dark place. The discussion finishes on a note of optimism, as James is encouraged by the growing pushback to the movement. Disagree? Let us know in the YouTube comments! Dr James Lindsay is a writer, speaker, and podcast host. Along with Peter Boghossian and Helen Pluckrose, he undertook the famous grievance studies hoax, which arguably demonstrated the low academic standards of some university disciplines. James wrote Cynical Theories with Helen Pluckrose, which outlines the intellectual background to the ‘woke’ ideology which is sweeping through western institutions. In this episode, James explains to Luke why he thinks the ‘woke’ ideology is communism under a new guise. Spotify: Apple Podcasts: Google podcasts: Edited by Aleksandr Popov.
