Hey everyone. It's James Lindsay. You are listening to New Discourse's bullets, which is where I do.

I can have a bullet point list of a single topic from woke Marxism so that we can understand it so that we can defeat it

and stop it. And a very common question that people wonder about, I think is very important

to discuss. This dynamic is incredibly important to discuss with regard to communism, which is why

is communism so deadly? Is it just that it's a bunch of iron-fisted dictators who hate people and who want to

kill people? Is it just that the point of communism is in its own literal documentation, its own

words, to destroy class enemies in order to establish the socialist state and the communist

utopia that follows? What is it? And it turns out that,

yeah, those things contribute. You do have murderous dictators that tend to run communist countries

like Mao and Stalin. And yeah, the idea that they're going to, literally that they're going to run

a totalitarian dictatorship that's called the dictatorship of

the proletariat in the name of the people so that you can establish a, you know, fully

operative socialist state that returns into communism in the end by having perfect belief

is part of it too. And the fact that, you know, they literally believe things like Mao said,

power flows from the barrel of a gun. And they believe things like that they are entitled to have

that kind of power over other people. Because as Mao also said, to not have a correct political

orientation is like not having a soul. In other words, for communists, if you're

not a communist with them, if you're not working with them, then you're not even a person.

You are in some sense an animal or worse than lower than an animal. You don't even have a

soul and you are completely expendable. As a matter of fact, you're probably worse if you're doing anything that resists the building

of socialism or development of communism because now you are an antagonist to the program.

So yeah, it's really murderous there too.
