They're obsessed with telling us who man is and then controlling who man can become from their unique theories about our true nature. Within each, though, is a particular fantasy about who man is outside of sin (and what defines the nature of sin and depravity). The theological word, at least in Christian circles, for this sinless man is "prelapsarian man," that is, man before the Fall. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explores the prelapsarian fantasies of Communists and Nazis and discusses how they inform the thinking of these two totalitarian cousins. Join him for a uniquely deep look into the totalitarian mindset and the strange fantasies of Communism and Nazism.

]]><![CDATA[Where Communism Really Started]]>https://newdiscourses.substack.com/p/where-communism-really-startedhttps://newdiscourses.substack.com/p/where-communism-really-startedFri, 29 May 2026 15:42:38 GMTWhere did Communism really come from? Did it originate with Karl Marx? Is it... “Jewish”? The answers to these latter questions are no. Communism arose out of a combination of German idealism and French socialism, and the first documents on the subject were composed in France. In fact, not only that, the first revolutionary Communist was a Frenchman as well, Francois-Noel “Gracchus” Babeuf, who derived many of his ideas for communist life from an obscure French thinker and tax official named Etienne-Gabriel Morelly. Morelly wrote a tract called The Code of Nature in 1755 outlining what we recognize today as Communism. Babeuf took these ideas and tried to install them through his “Conspiracy of the Equals,” which had a manifesto, “The Manifesto of Equals,” written by his collaborator Sylvain Marechal in 1796. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you through these documents and makes it abundantly clear that the Communist Manifesto Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote in 1848 had these ideas at their core. Join him to learn the true origins of Communism.

Is it just taking control of factories and farms and “expropriating the expropriators,” as Marx had it, or is there something deeper? In this fascinating episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay takes a unique look at the concept of seizing the means of production in terms of taking control of the production of humanity itself within different totalitarian schema. For the Communists, it’s economic; for the Fascists, it’s nationalist; and for the Nazis, it’s racial production they’re seizing, all with the purpose of remaking man into what he was always supposed to be. Join him for this fascinating look into the real evils of totalitarianism in a way few have ever seen them.

One of these myths is that the Nazis didn’t start out with any designs to conquer Europe, which ultimately precipitated World War II. In fact, they did have these ambitions going back to the earliest eras of their movement. In this episode of the series, host James Lindsay revisits part of the fourth chapter of Hitler’s infamous Mein Kampf to reveal his thoroughly laid out arguments for why Germany must conquer Europe, particularly going eastward toward Russia. These arguments were made in 1924, a full fifteen years before World War II began as Hitler put them into action after building up his military machine. Perhaps most interesting of all were his stated motivations: a Malthusian population disaster argument combined with a belief in land equity. Join us for another illuminating episode.

]]><![CDATA[Introducing the Nazi Myth of the Blood]]>https://newdiscourses.substack.com/p/introducing-the-nazi-myth-of-thehttps://newdiscourses.substack.com/p/introducing-the-nazi-myth-of-theMon, 18 May 2026 12:51:19 GMTUnderneath the Nazi program in Germany was a worldview, what Hitler called the "racialist worldview." At the very foundations of that worldview lurks a dark and peculiar pseudoscientific mythology. Hitler's "Chief Ideologist" Alfred Rosenberg called it "the Myth of the Blood" and presented it in a book called The Myth of the Twentieth Century, which he published in 1930. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay summarizes both the "Myth of the Blood" and some of Rosenberg's strange book while pointing the listener to a new series on the New Discourses Podcast exploring both in far greater detail: the Myth of the Blood series. Join him to understand even better how Nazi elites and leadership really thought about the world.

Instead, it favored polarization and dynamism as the fundamental Law of Nature. This fact is clearly laid out and explained in Alfred Rosenberg's 1930 word The Myth of the Twentieth Century, which serves as the basis for this series, The Myth of the Blood, on the New Discourses Podcast. In this episode of the podcast, host James Lindsay takes you through the last sections of the first chapter of Rosenberg's Myth (titled "Race and Race-Soul") to illustrate the complete Nazi rejection of monotheism, Catholicism, Christianity, Judaism, and any "static" concept of the world that isn't based in race that honors and worships a living revelation in a dynamic, changing world ruled by a solar deity, which he locates in the Nordic Aryans from Atlantis. Join him to see what the Nazis really believed.

That seems like an important question for people who live in societies and are thus tasked, whether they like it or not, with keeping the thing going. The answer is pretty surprising, actually, and it all boils down to how we incentivize people to work in ways that benefit other people even when they don't know or care about those other people. Drawing off Friedrich Hayek's arguments about the "extended society," in this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay endeavors to explain what actually makes societies work and why centrally planned and totalitarian systems do a poor job of running them. You won't want to miss this one.

]]><![CDATA[The Nazi Experiment, Vol. 14: Germany Is Not an Economic Zone]]>https://newdiscourses.substack.com/p/the-nazi-experiment-vol-14-germanyhttps://newdiscourses.substack.com/p/the-nazi-experiment-vol-14-germanyFri, 08 May 2026 13:17:49 GMTAmong the peculiar anxieties that fueled the Nazi Experiment in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s was the fear that Germany would be relegated to merely economic participation in a broader world order, causing Germans and Germany to subordinate their personalities and race to merely economic concerns. Of course, this anxiety exists again today and motivates the reactive and transformative thinking of the Woke Right, who fears that America is regarded merely as an "economic zone" instead of a nation as a people in a place. Americans, under this formulation, are allegedly reduced to "fungible economic units" who are "replaceable" not just by other Americans but by workers anywhere in the world. Just as the Nazis tied this mentality to "Jewish" Marxist manipulation of "Jewish" capitalism, so too does the Woke Right in our own day. In this fourteenth volume of the Nazi Experiment series of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes us into the bottom third of the fourth chapter of Volume 1 of Hitler's Mein Kampf to show the parallel thinking, parallel rhetoric, and parallel propaganda to what we face in our own day. Join him to understand these ominous parallels.

There are strong arguments on both sides of this difficult issue, but there's a narrow question involved as well: Did the Jews move to the region legally (or are they illegal settler-colonialists)? In the effort to put some clarifying information about this issue into the world, host James Lindsay uses this episode of New Discourses Bullets to discuss a summary of the key points immediately surrounding the question. Join him to understand more about this difficult issue.
