James Lindsay, author of “Race Marxism: The Truth About Critical Race Theory and Praxis,” says that the critical race theory currently moving through American society is a modern iteration of Marxism that uses identity and race, rather than class, to pit people against each other and advocate for revolution.
After studying volumes of classic Marxist and Neo-Marxist theory, “What I realized is that Marxism just changed, it just evolved,” Lindsay told “American Thought Leaders” host Jan Jekielek during a Feb. 17 interview. “And so, with the evolution of critical race theory, we have a variant that replaces economic class with race and otherwise uses exactly the same motifs, exactly the … same engine, different chassis, if you had a car, for example.”
