American Maoism | Dr. James Lindsay

It’s crucial to understand that the Left operates strategically, guided by a framework known as “dialectical political warfare.” This dialectical approach involves merging truths with falsehoods to advance their agenda. Political warfare, in essence, employs political means with hostile intent to influence an adversary’s behavior – propaganda being a prime example. One cannot discuss this without acknowledging the mastermind of dialectical political warfare, Mao Zedong, the Communist leader of China until his passing in 1976. His tactics and the cultural revolution he orchestrated demonstrate the formidable and devastating power of dialectical political warfare, and the concerning reality is that we’re witnessing its echoes right here in America and across the Western world today. While Mao claimed to be applying “Marxism-Leninism with Chinese characteristics” in China, the current “Woke” and environmental “Sustainability” movements should be understood as “Maoist Marxism with American Characteristics.” In this insightful lecture by Dr. James Lindsay of New Discourses, you’ll see the striking parallels between our contemporary experiences and the strategies employed in Mao’s China, leaving us with the inescapable conclusion that we are currently navigating nothing less than American Maoism.
