    Ep. 118 - James Lindsay: Mapping Communism and the Woke Right
    Feb 25 2026

    James Lindsay is a mathematician, author and founder of New Discourses: a media platform dedicated to dissecting radical sociopolitical ideologies. We discuss the woke left’s roots in Maoist communism, how Marxism captured the west, and the outgrowth of radical leftism into what is now defined as the “woke right.”
