James, this book, "Cogs in the wheel- The formation of Soviet Man" by Mikhail Heller is an incredible resource for the work you are doing. Superb and meticulous, well sourced research on the Soviet regimes revolutionary program meant to change fundamentally change human nature under the auspices of the State. Encapsulated by Bukharin, "Proletarian coercion in all its forms, beginning with the firing squad, is... the way of fashioning the communist man out of the human material of the capitalist era." As Gorky wrote "...the working class cannot fail to understand that Lenin is only performing a certain experiment on their skin and on their blood"; the proletarians "are being used as material for an inhuman experiment. As ideological chief K. Chernenko said in 1983 "the formation of the new man constitutes not only an important goal but an indispensable prerequisite for the construction of communism." Read these people in there own words and you will really place the present in the broader context of the root, branch and fruit of evil.

Will look that book up. I have a small collection of books on the subject and recently found a video which now I can’t locate which had evidence that the US was behind the Soviet take over of Russia and they funded it. Actually the Masons as they wanted to inflict a cruel and evil systems on them and to enslave them. I have been twice to the former USSR and I will never forget it. The old churches all had huge chains and locks on their doors. Hardly any cars on the road in Moscow. The Covid lockdowns reminded me of the Soviet period. People would not speak to us and were afraid. In fact it had a feeling of total paranoia there and we had to deal with In Tourist at the hotel The Metropole. Apparently they were KGB trained and they were masters of mind games as was the plane we went there on Aeroflot. When there was a sleep period they would turn the air on down to very cold and so hard to go to sleep. There were no blankets in the overhead so I called the flight attendant. I asked for a blanket and she said, No blankets. When the sleep period was over they turned up the heating and brought out the blankets! All mind games! There was evil there you could feel it. I have since had two more visits to Russia and it has complete changed. Though I do feel the damage that the Soviet period did will last for a long time. When I went to USSR twice it was the cheapest way to get to Europe so it was not my distinction. But I am glad I saw what it was like as it was quite unbelievable. Now there is real signs this evil is happening in the west which James is bringing to light. Seems like UK has now fallen. People there are calling it the UKSSR.

His work travelling the world trying to spread the word is laudable, and it has made a difference, but what would amplify the effectiveness of the light he is shining by an order of magnitude would be if as many as possible of the other major speakers taking a stand against the poisonous cultural fruits of CT etc. were compelled to take a course on the historical, philosophical, religious, political, and psychological exposition of the great ever present death cult, run by James.

In the late 80s and into the 90s I did a lot of reading about cults and New Age religions, growing up in Santa Barbara we certainly had our fair share of them, and except for a few more right-wing militias the topic of cults and New Age went kind of quiet. When my husband and I first started listening to you and Michael I was puzzled at the change from cults to CRT and BLM and communism. Then in one of your podcasts you drew the bridge! ALICE BAILEY and the LUCIS Publishing Company. I perked up and said, "I remember that name!" and ran to the bookcase to pull out all my books I'd read. I found her name in the book "The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow. The New Age Movement and Our Coming Age of Barbarism" by Constance Cumbey and listed in the index under "New Age Structure" was her name and five of her books! At the conference I wanted to tell you about that connection and how much more sense it all makes but you were of course very busy. The book was published in 1983 but is still available on Amazon.

He stole "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need" straight from the new testament. The way the Bible outlines how we are supposed to live is that everyone is our neighbor, and we should place the needs of others before our own when they have greater need. If everyone does this, then all needs would be met. BUT, it understands that this sort of thing is something to strive toward and will never be perfectly fulfilled, and that it does not need administration by a state, but can be practiced by any community in any government system. It calls mankind to be charitable and good. It used to be this type of faith that drove leftist policy in this country. Marxism is a total inversion of that faith.

Read Fabian Freeway by Rose Martin. It's absolutely essential reading. Marx, Lenin, Mao, Deng, they're all by-products of the Fabian Society intellectuals. None of them would have funding nor power without Fabian backing. The British Fabians themselves said that their program progressed most effectively in America. Fabian Freeway explains literally everything, including what you're describing here. The plan was always a technocracy with a dictatorship of an expert class, and of course, the Fabians would constitute that expert class. The chapters that mention American elections could have been written post 2020, even though the book was written in 1966. Fabians rebranded themselves many times, but their global goals stayed the same. Today, we call them the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). If we don't limit CFR interference within our government, we'll end up slaves of their global governance.

​​@@hotcakesism Fascism (TIK History) was crypto Marxism. Mussolini was a Red. Hitler was a Red. Joseph Goebbels was a Red. There's a photo of Hitler with a bunch of Communists carrying the coffin of a fallen comrade. The radical KPD (revolutionary breakaway from the more moderate socialists) saw the Nazi Brown shirts as their comrades, spoke with them, argued with them to hate German capitalists instead of only hitting Jewish capitalists. KPD helped Hitler win. After Mussolini was kicked out of the Italian Communist Party and formed his own new Party, with fascism being seen as a bundle of sticks tied together, a strong union, new Rome, he said his party and his vision was more true to communism than the Communists. Hitler's program differed from Mussolini. It wasn't fascism, tho obviously some things in common. Hitler's program was drawn from German communism, but he was more obsessed with race and wanted to downplay class antagonisms.

The most perplexing thing to me about communist doctrine is this idea that the bourgeoisie is some form of caste system in which if you are bourgeoise, you were born it, always were, and always will be. They talk about the bourgeoisie class as if it is some kind of affliction. How is the irony not seen in this? I could understand if communism was a response to feudalism, but it isn't. It feels like it's late to the party and is ironically attacking the one system that actually offers self actualization and self realization. In a feudal system, if you weren't born under the crown, you were a peasant. That was it. Even if you somehow had the skills to perform other tasks, there are no systems in place to enable you to succeed. The greatest irony in everything is communism is closer to feudalism than capitalism is, despite capitalism being called "feudalism with extra steps." You have a monopolistic ruling class (the state), albeit falsely represented as "the people", that barks marching orders to its subjects and determines what you do with your life under its rule. Communism is feel-good feudalism, where the ruling class gets to speak about themselves as gifts to society for their selfless service.

I see now what is going on. Lenin thought that there would be some kind of integer rollover by going through the intense growing pains and bloodbaths of some kind of societal puberty. An expediting of the moody awkward phase through the crippling system of totalitarianism. By forcing the limits of oppression and centralizing of power, he thought, at that climax, it dissolves into "real" communism or the manifestation of the utopia. So make it so terrible that all people unite to evolve society into utopia... Just a complete lack of compassion for people. The sacrifices that sort of plan requires are so incredibly horrible... "For the greater good" arguments could be made but is there really not a way to bring about a virtuous society without putting the world to the sword?

You got presidential candidate appointed by the elites. Anyone protesting? Other than commies I guess.

Can you up the volume on new videos that will be coming out? Even on highest level, I can barely hear it in another room when playing on my phone which isn’t the case for other videos.

Marx was a metaphysical materialist, not an idealist. For instance he was a metaphysical realist that believed consciousness is an epiphenomenon of the brain. Idealism states the fundamental nature of mind/consciousness. And that physicality emerges from the mental or psyche/soul. Hegel does not speak for Idealism.

You can use democracy in the totalitarian way because democracy means "people rule," which translates to "public rule" and what is the public sector but the State.

[@DAWN001]

Once you disagree with the “people”, you become the enemy class and must be subjected to the dictatorship of the proletariat. So many intellectuals belatedly realized this was the “democracy” only after they dared to express dissents.

[@CallanElliott]

I'd just like to put forward a thought on why people like Marcuse are so vague in their writing, Antonio Gramsci was similarly vague in the Prison Notebooks, which were written while he was being held in prison by the Fascists. I think they were copying his style.

[@dadsonworldwide3238]

Early on its understandable why msny fall for it. But after that living and learning does not take plsce in eveyone like it shouldve.. I always wondered why mao went after transitors so soon but now I fairly convinced he was well aware of the beast of burden triangulated thermodynamical systems and how it was tied to so much of a theological past quest for perfect alignments in English American sphere. . They all want the prosperity but just dont wsnt jesus the mandatory part of its success.

[@ganjaericco]

41:49 I believe Marx mentions the negation of the negation is mentioned in the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts. As for Fascism, that's the return of the Right Hegelians.

[@whitehorse1961]

Would you point to some sources where you got the idea that Stalin starved the Ukrainians to prove the point that he is in charge? There was over 20 regions that had famine in Russia at the time. Only one was chosen as to prove the point, what was the purpose of starving the rest? Just wondering.

[@SEKreiver]

There were a LOT of Theosophists among the early Bolsheviks. Even knowing how pervasive it was during that era, I was surprised when I started digging. So much for "atheism"!

[@BranGrizz]

Can someone please link me to some literature covering Stalin’s implementation of “diversity and indegenism”? I want read more about it

[@tensevo]

communism is making it impossible or illegal to disagree, dissent with "the state"

[@danip1737]

I’m listening, thank you. I’m not certain, that this isn’t coming from both parties. Can you give insight as to why Trump had/has Leninist staff, such as Bannon for one (a more recognizable name)? How would his role be in advancing, along with his directive role, of not being a socialist? For those…I’m not taking a side, I simply do not trust either…

[@jakublulek3261]

It should be pointed out that most of Marxist hostility towards social democracy and divisions in the movement itself comes down to Karl Marx being violently hated by most communists during his life and character assassinating his critics and former coleagues. They hate Lasalle because Marx tried to snuck up to Lasalle (because Lasalle was actually rich and set for life), Lasalle made fun of Marx and proposed one of the Marx's daughters to became his mistress/maid, which enraged Marx and he tried to smear Lasalle ever since. French marxists were so frustrated with Marx that most of them broke away to became fascists! Also, the reason why Lenin is so much clearer is because of what kind of audience he was aiming at. Marx and Marcuse were elitist thinkers, who aimed at middle class and intellectuals, they didn't give a damn about the "working class". Lenin wanted to form a movement, so he had to be clear, he have to talk to workers, they have to understand him. That is why he is to the point. Marx was only dreaming about the revolution but was a coward (and criticized for it), Marcuse was a philosopher and a deranged person. Lenin was forming a movement to take power. That is why.

[@markizkorobas4049]

A modern commitee of capitalist in control of making descisions is not a soviet because more often than not they do not and have not worked at the enterprise that they are in control of, they just buy stocks and if they have bought enough, they can dictate things. A soviet would instead put forward people that have actually worked in the enterprise and have direct interest due to social pressures to act in the best interests of this enterprise. In the later soviet union this model started falling apart due to cronyism and human bias with some people being underqualified for the position or slowly forming a class with their family and redirecting wealth to themselves. A soviet is not a modern capitalist board of decisions.

Kind of OT, but this seems pretty good, right? I thought it was interesting. Missing Rousseau, Schmidt, and Eckhart? I wondered where the Austrian economists figured into all this. He mentions Mises. Are Strauss and Hayek just downstream from there? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGjCe5Kalraeibc

He really is. The man is a genius, and I don't say that lightly. I was a regional debate champion because I was taught to see both sides of the argument, however inane. This guy is all over it. He KNOWS what the think, and he can put it all into terms most of us can understand.
