Welcome to New Discourses! We like to think of this place as a home for the politically homeless, especially for those who feel like they’ve been displaced from their political homes because of the movement sometimes called “Critical Social Justice” and the myriad negative effects it has had on our political environments, both on the left and on the right.

In the 1960s, a radical Islamic Salafist named Sayyid Qutb wrote a short little radical book called Milestones in which he laid out a new vision for what the world usually calls "Islamism" today. That model wasn't just rooted in a backwards-looking radical fundamentalist vision of Islam called Jihadist Salafism as taken up by the Muslim Brotherhood; it was also based directly on Vladimir Lenin's radical model for creating and installing Communism through Bolshevism, particularly Lenin's 1902 booklet called What Is To Be Done? The prescription is for an ideologically pure radical vanguard to take control and pull the ideology into global dominance, even against its own moderates. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay continues his reading of Milestones in a fourth volume, outlining the nature of this vanguard approach as Qutb explains it in his third chapter and tying it definitively to other radical ideological movements, especially Lenin's Communism. Join him for a very enlightening reading.
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 169 What are the foundations of "the West" as we understand it today? Many of us land on a hyphenated term that finds itself under attack in the world today: our foundations are Judeo-Christian. But then, we also must admit the relevance of the seismic shifts in thought and political organization of the various movements we retroactively recognize as "the" Enlightenment (really: the various Enlightenments). That much is undeniable. The correct expression of these currents, which incorporated into a Christian ethic a great deal of "Enlightenment" thinking and also a revitalization of much Judaic thinking, arose on the American continent more or less uniquely. Thus, "the West" and the "Western Civilization" that we defend today is not just Judeo-Christian or "Enlightenment" but specifically Judeo-Christian-American. Join host James Lindsay for this deep episode of New Discourses Bullets in which he explores this important innovation and idea.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 212 Click here to listen. The entire world is turning today around the "Palestinian" Cause, but what is it? It is a fabrication. It is a manipulation. It is a forgery. It is a psyop. This fact, and the many facts it is based upon, is plainly and beautifully articulated in Danny Burmawi's new book Islam, Israel, and the West: A Former Muslim's Analysis, which New Discourses recommends, especially for beginners to the subject. Burmawi himself is a Christian ex-Muslim who originally hails from Jordan, lived many years as a Christian in Lebanon, and has since moved to the United States where he has established the Ideological Defense Institute (IDI). In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads just a little over two short sections from Burmawi's book to introduce the realities of the so-called "Palestinian Cause" to New Discourses listeners. Join him to understand that much with that situation is not as it appears.
[Full disclosure: James Lindsay is on the IDI board of advisors, but Burmawi did not ask him to produce this podcast.]
