Marxism is Threatening American Culture | James Lindsay

In this Better for America episode, Rebecca Weber speaks with author James Lindsay about Marxism’s infiltration into American culture and education. Lindsay explains that socialism, communism, and Marxism are "different shades of the same system" that rely on control and suppression of individual freedoms.

Lindsay identifies "American Maoism" as the modern manifestation of Marxist tactics, seen in identity politics, COVID-era policies, and radical education agendas like critical race theory. He highlights how Paulo Freire’s Marxist education model prioritizes activism over academics, resulting in students who "can’t read or do math but are ready to protest."

Faith and individualism, Lindsay argues, are critical defenses against Marxist ideology. He calls on Americans to take smart, informed action to preserve the nation’s values.
