Summary

The Theology of Marxism, Session 2 of 3 In this session of Sovereign Nations’s “The Theology of Marxism” conference, James Lindsay addresses the titular theme of the conference: The Theology of Marxism. For a century and a half, people have failed to recognize Marxism for what it is, a theology. Marx’s emphasis on Atheism and strict materialism in all things have obscured from view what Marxism really is. Well, it is not a social theory. It is not an economic theory. It is a theology that sees economic and related social conditions as that which shapes human lives and, if born again into the faith, compels them to seize those means of human production and repurpose them to achieve the Marxian eschatology. That eschatology goes by a few names, but the most identifiable are “Communism,” “Liberation,” and “Social Justice.” Session 1: https://newdiscourses.com/2023/04/the-dialectical-faith-of-leftism/ Session 3: Coming soon!

0:00.0	So hopefully you had a nice rest and a nice lunch and the stretching of your
0:04.7	brain has been able to relax because we're gonna go there again. Now I heard
0:10.2	some whispers and some rumors that it was a little high shelf last night and I
0:18.6	tried to warn you and this is going to happen again this is the nature of what
0:22.0	we're dealing with but I want to give you guys a little bit of hopefully
0:28.0	relatability and I want you to understand like when I read for example something
0:32.1	by Karl Marx or one of these Marxists on down the line I don't even consider
0:37.1	having read it the first time that I read it because I actually don't know what
0:40.7	in the heck it says. It sounds very weird to say this it sounds almost like
0:49.2	something they would accuse you of if they maybe accused people of things that
0:52.5	they're actually doing which we call the Iron Law of Woke projection but they
0:57.4	write in kind of coded language and it's not just coded language it's the
1:01.6	fact that the words that they use they're not just complicated they have a
1:04.9	whole bunch of things that they imply that you don't realize the first two
1:09.1	times so usually for me it's about the fifth or sixth time that I read one of
1:13.9	these things usually having to go read other things in between that I start to
1:17.7	get an idea of what they're actually talking about and so if it feels like it
1:21.6	might be a little bit hard to grasp some of these concepts it is I would
1:27.1	strongly encourage you to do the best you can but I would also encourage you to
1:31.5	go back and revisit this when you get a chance if and when you have time when
1:36.3	the videos are out and available because you're not going to get a lot of this
1:40.5	on the first go. I'm literally describing to you an alien way of thinking
