There has been an intermittent debate about the relationship between Critical Race Theory and Marxism, with some professing Marxists taking serious exception. Lindsay has grappled at length with this question, and has come to a definite answer, which he answers in his new one hundred thousand word book.
Lindsay's work is excellent. He founded the New Discourses website, that includes a useful compendium of "wokeism" terms that he translates into plain English. He would, however, benefit from greater concision, his videos generally being pretty lengthy.
The good news is that you can get the gist of what he is on about in this one in the first fifteen minutes or so.

It's time the unvarnished truth about Critical Race Theory is told in full. That truth is simple: Critical Race Theory is Race Marxism, that is, Marxian Theory reinvented with race as "the central construct for understanding inequality" in place of economic class. That conclusion is unavoidable after reading this new, groundbreaking book from James Lindsay: Race Marxism: The Truth About Critical Race Theory and Praxis, published by New Discourses. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, the author introduces this book to the world, including reading an excerpt from the introduction.
