Hey, everybody. This is James Lindsay. You're listening to the new discourses podcast. And the time has come for us to start talking directly about the 17 sustainable

development goals of the United Nations Agenda 2030. 17 goals to transform our world. Now this is often built as a conspiracy theory. And you can go to the search engine of your choice and type in United Nations Agenda 2030 or United Nations sustainable development goals. And you will find that it's all over their website. It's all over everything. This is not a conspiracy theory. It's all over the place. I just went to Philadelphia for the mom's for Liberty

National Summit that has got so much press and low and behold there by the baggage claim in the airport or all the 17 sustainable development goals and all of this, all these posters and and displays set up to promote them. I ran into them at Chicago, oh, here airport one time, not that long ago. These things are out and about. They're on a mural on this on the side of a building in the city of Houston. They're kind of all over the place.

So this is go to the website. It's not a conspiracy theory. Or if it is, it's the most open conspiracy. And that is an illusion for sure on purpose. It is the most open conspiracy in the history of the world. So what are these 17 sustainable development goals. I'm going to do a little bit of a series here because I'm going to actually go through the entire document published in 2015, which is 41 pages long. No way I'm going to do this in one episode.

I'm going to go through this entire document that is 41 pages long. It was published in 2015 announcing the agenda 2030 agenda for sustainable development from the United Nations. Before I start, though, I want to talk about something familiar. I want to frame this in a particular way that makes clear what's going on. So I'm going to read to you from the selected works of the CCP dictator Mao Zedong.

Chairman Mao, where he gave a speech in 1957. I did an entire podcast here on the new discourses podcast going through this speech, which is on the correct handling of contradictions among the people. So I encourage you to go check that podcast out to search for the ones on the new discourses platforms where I mentioned Mao. I think I used a statute of liberty with red smoke and communist symbol symbology all around it for the cover. If I remember right.

So here's what Mao said. And this is what I want to frame this as, okay, so the democratic method. This is Mao in 1957. This democratic method of resolving contradictions among the people was epitomized in 1942 in the formula unity criticism unity to elaborate. That means starting from the desire for unity, resolving contradictions through criticism or struggle and arriving.

And arriving at a unity on a new basis. Now, I've done a lot of talking about this whole idea and I can talk about this off the cuff quite a lot with this. I contend is what the 17 sustainable development goals in agenda 2030 is all about.

We're going to create the desire for unity in a new world. We're going to criticize and struggle contradictions against that vision for unity and then we'll arrive at a unity on a new basis that will be called a sustainable and inclusive future. See, we just want to have a sustainable inclusive future where everyone feels like they belong. That's a desire for unity.

But we have these contradictions that we have to resolve. There are people who are racist. That's in the way of that. There are transphobes or homophobes. That's on the social side of things. But there are also people who want to drive their trucks or their cars. There are people who like to get goods that are shipped on container shipping. There are people who like to take commercial flights. All of that causes emissions. It's near the 4th of July here in the United States. So there are people who like to shoot fireworks to celebrate holidays. That creates emissions.

There are farms. They create emissions. There are cows that we have to sacrifice to Gaia because they create emissions. And so those prevent the environmental aspects from coming to fruit. So we're going to criticize those things and struggle those things.

Say that there are all kinds of problematic so that we can arrive at a unity, a new unity on a new basis as Mao put it and that will be the sustainable and inclusive future outlined by the 17 sustainable development goals of agenda 2030.

What Mao does, I'm just going to read half of a paragraph here. Some of it's a little bit contextual to him. But he says in our experience, this is the correct method of resolving contradictions among the people.

In 1942, we used it to resolve contradictions inside the Communist Party, namely the contradictions between the dogmatists and the great majority of the membership and between dogmatism and Marxism.

The quote, left dogmatists had resorted to the method of ruthless struggle and merciless blows in inner party struggle.

It was the wrong method and criticizing quote, left dogmatism. We did not use this old method, but adopted a new one. That is one of starting from the desire for unity, distinguishing between right and wrong through criticism or struggle and arriving at a new unity on a new basis.

This was the method used in the rectification movement of 1942. Within a few years by the time the Chinese Communist Party held its 7th National Congress in 1945, unity was achieved throughout the party as anticipated and consequently the people's revolution triumphed.

Here, the essential thing is to start from the desire for unity, for without this desire for unity, the struggle once begun is certain to throw things into confusion and get out of hand.

And wouldn't this be the same as ruthless struggle and merciless blows? And what party unity would there be left? It was precisely this experience that led us to the formula, unity, criticism, unity.

Or in other words, learn from past mistakes to avoid future ones and cure the sickness to save the patient.

So that's how Mao frames this idea and what you can hear is that he applied it on his own party to achieve party unity so that they would have the strength to be able to overcome it.

That was in 1945, they launched a revolution in 1946 and they achieved power in 1949 and began the CCP dictatorship that remains to this day.
