James Lindsay - The Rise of Woke Islamism

Since October 7th, weekly marches through the streets of central London see the unlikely alliance of radical leftists and hard-right muslims. Yet this unholy red-green alliance is nothing new.I sat down with James Lindsay, author, writer and expert in Critical Theory, Postmodernism and Marxism to explore the deep roots of these odd ideological bedfellows. James explains the long history of their convergence. We discuss antisemitism, “Critical Immigrant Theory” and why he is an optimist after the second great awokening, or what he calls our "Gaza-Floyd moment".This interview was recorded on November 1st 2023, and given that the weekly protests have continued, it is just as relevant today.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SUBSCRIBE: If you're liking the show and want to stay updated, don't forget to subscribe!
