The Theology of Marxism, Session 3 of 3\n\nIn 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 \u201cconscientization.\u201d As Marxism entered its cultural turn in the 1920s, Theorists like Gyorgy Lukacs recognized that \u201cclass consciousness\u201d 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 \u201csustainable and inclusive future.\u201d Thus, they forward 17 Sustainable Development Goals \u201cto transform our world\u201d and are beginning to gear conscientization in that direction.\n\nIn this session of @SovereignNations \u2019s \u201cThe Theology of Marxism\u201d conference in Phoenix, Arizona, in June 2022, Dr. James Lindsay discusses the process of rebirth in the theology of Marxism, \u201cconscientization,\u201d and the next turn of the Leftist Dialectic, \u201cSustainability.\u201d\n\nSession 1: https://newdiscourses.com/2023/04/the-dialectical-faith-of-leftism/ \nSession 2: https://newdiscourses.com/2023/04/marxs-ontology-of-man-and-the-telos-of-history/\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 Sovereign Nations.
