Summary

The Theology of Marxism, Session 3 of 3 In that Marxism is a theology that gives birth to a religion of Communism, it has to also have a process of conversion. That process was not well-developed under Karl Marx, but it grew over the intervening century and a half and came to be known as “conscientization.” As Marxism entered its cultural turn in the 1920s, Theorists like Gyorgy Lukacs recognized that “class consciousness” unfolds in stages and is educable, though the last steps remained elusive and mysterious. By the 1980s, Theorists like Paulo Freire developed the process of conscientization further into a critical and even utopian consciousness that can be used to mobilize converts to transform the world. As we learn from the United Nations and its Agenda 2030, however, the next phase in transformation is to mobilize this utopian consciousness to create a sustained regime branded as a “sustainable and inclusive future.” Thus, they forward 17 Sustainable Development Goals “to transform our world” and are beginning to gear conscientization in that direction. In this session of @SovereignNations ’s “The Theology of Marxism” conference in Phoenix, Arizona, in June 2022, Dr. James Lindsay discusses the process of rebirth in the theology of Marxism, “conscientization,” and the next turn of the Leftist Dialectic, “Sustainability.” Session 1: https://newdiscourses.com/2023/04/the-dialectical-faith-of-leftism/ Session 2: https://newdiscourses.com/2023/04/marxs-ontology-of-man-and-the-telos-of-history/ Get James Lindsay's new book, The Marxification of Education: https://amzn.to/3RYZ0tY Support New Discourses: https://newdiscourses.com/support Follow New Discourses on other platforms: https://newdiscourses.com/subscribe Follow James Lindsay: https://linktr.ee/conceptualjames © 2023 Sovereign Nations.

Good to see you all again, now that you've been able to take a few minutes to

0:04.3

un-soil yourself after Mr. O'Fallon's presentation.

0:11.6

Like when we got asked in the panel yesterday, why are you guys doing this?

0:14.7

Well, yeah, I know. In fact, I was over here just a second ago and just saw

0:18.8

the headline from Fortune Magazine two days ago when we started this conference

0:22.2

to headline at a Fortune Magazine. 50 new stocks to invest in as the new world order sets in.

0:30.8

We ain't kidding, folks.

0:36.4

So, what I want to talk to you today about actually the hard part is over.

0:44.4

You don't believe me, do you?

0:48.3

We're going to be a little easier today actually with what I'm presenting.

0:52.7

Largely because we're going to be a little bit closer to the present instead of having

0:55.8

a read stuff that was written in the middle of the 1800s, which had a slightly different style

1:01.8

and they're only going to read a little bit from Marx. I want to talk today about actually

1:05.6

things that latch into what Michael just talked about and I will tell you, I did not know what

1:10.8

Michael was going to talk about before he did it. But it ties into what Michael said and I think

1:17.6

it's going to put a lot of foundation under what he said from the perspective that I bring,

1:24.1

which is just reading their literature, my magic power, by the way, is reading their literature

1:29.2

and believing them. People ask me all the time, how do you do what you do? I just read them

1:34.2

and I believe what they say. I don't think that they're doing some other thing. They're just

1:39.9

telling you what they think. And so the technical title here is the role of consciousness

1:45.2

and the evolution of the gospel of Marxism. And that's where we're going to arrive.

1:51.9

But I want to build a couple bridges to what Mr. O'Fallon talked about. So I was rushing these
