The American Cultural Revolution | Peter Boghossian & James Lindsay

James Lindsay is a bestselling author, mathematician, and a leading expert on the ensuing culture war. He is the founder of “New Discourses,” a website and podcast analyzing the theory behind, effects of, and solutions to "Woke Marxism".

James speaks widely on language, education, and Social Justice ideology. In May, he spoke to the European Union Parliament about this evolved form of Marxism in Western culture.

James' books include “Cynical Theories,” which he wrote with Helen Pluckrose, “How to Have Impossible Conversations,” which he wrote with yours truly, "Race Marxism: The Truth About Critical Race Theory and Praxis", and also his most recent book, “The Marxification of Education: Paulo Freire's Critical Marxism and the Theft of Education.”
