Post-Liberalism, Left and Right

b'The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 118 \\n\\nOne of Mao Zedong\'s most famous pieces is a short command from 1937 titled "Combat Liberalism" (https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-2/mswv2_03.htm ). Contrary to what many conservatives would have us believe, Communism is not the completion of liberalism but one of its mortal enemies, the fruit of a Leftwing, Romantic Reaction to the Enlightenment. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the program offered by the reactionaries who misunderstand both liberalism and Communism holds many of the same grievances against liberalism as Mao did 85 years ago. That\'s because post-liberalism is post-liberalism, whether it comes from the Left or the Right. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay goes through Mao\'s short essay to make this simple point clear. Join him to learn why these demands for post-liberalism, Left and Right, aren\'t so different from one another after all.\\n\\nGet James Lindsay\'s new book, The Marxification of Education: https://amzn.to/3RYZ0tY\\n\\nSupport New Discourses: https://newdiscourses.com/support\\n\\nFollow New Discourses on other platforms: https://newdiscourses.com/subscribe\\n\\nFollow James Lindsay: https://linktr.ee/conceptualjames\\n\\n\\xa9 2023 New Discourses.
