The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 110
It's time to be plain. Actually, it's long past time. What's happening in America today and throughout the West is a Maoist cultural revolution, just like happened in China under the CCP from 1966 to 1976. This is plain to see for those who know what to look for, from the struggle sessions, to the ideological totalism, to the separation of families, to the brainwashing in schools, to the destruction of statues, curriculum, and culture. If we are to have any hope of stopping this Maoist Cultural Revolution with American Characteristics, we have to begin by being honest about it. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay walks the listener through a speech given by Mao Zedong (https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-5/mswv5_58.htm) in February 1957 to make very clear and palpable that what's happening here, now, is what was happening there, then. Mao gave this speech on the eve of the Great Leap Forward (into catastrophe), just as we're living through our present tumult on the eve of the Great Reset. Join James for this must-listen podcast so you can understand clearly where we are and thus what we might do about it.
