Summary

New Discourses Bullet, Ep. 92 There's an old saying about Communists that applies to all militant ideologies: they are good at conquest and bad at management. That's only half of the story. The fact is that because of their cult-religious nature, various strains of Communism aren't just bad at management; they're completely disinterested in management. That is, they don't want to make things work; they just want to control people and institutions to make more Communists. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains the ideas behind that simple summary of Communist behavior. Join him to learn why Communists don't know how and won't ever know how. New book!

0:00.0	Hey everybody it's James Lindsay you're listening to new discourse's bullets
0:14.4	where I give you a single kind of bullet point summary of a single topic from
0:18.1	woke Marxism that we need to understand so we can beat it and I want to talk about another old saying about communism today.
0:26.2	And that old saying is that communists are very good at conquest,

0:39.6	but it's very simple.
0:41.1	Communist are good at conquest and they're bad at management.
0:44.8	What that means is, I mean I did a long podcast a long time ago called
0:47.3	communism doesn't know how.
0:49.1	I have a bunch of merge of that type.
0:51.0	You can go buy it.
0:51.7	Communism doesn't know how. it doesn't know how is
0:54.7	is really what this old saying reflects the saying again is
1:00.5	communism is good at conquest in other words it's good at taking things over
1:04.8	but it's not good at management I recently did a bullet podcast where I
1:09.1	discussed kind of the takeover pathway where I said that it follows this kind of predictable course where first they demand access to your institution and you say well that's fair and reasonable
1:21.0	but according to what I've recently learned, there is this thing in
1:24.5	woke thought called the access accommodation diad. In other words, access and
1:30.2	accommodation are seen as two parts of the same thing so it's not enough for
