Marx and Engels wrote the Communist Manifesto in the mid-to-late 19th century, foretelling the coming revolution of the working class over the bourgeoisie— the capital elite. In the 20th century, the critical theory of the times was feminism, the rise of women and their championing of their own rights in the workplace, in professional life, and in public life.
Both Marxism and feminism have played their course successfully attaining what were the initial goals of their movements, the overthrow of the capitalist elite after the industrial revolution that occurred in most countries largely during what we call today World War One and Two. The civil rights movement granted women the right to vote, and lots of them into positions of corporate and government power all over the world. In the 21st century, we now see a new critical theory emerge the theory— that of the woke.
Wokism began as a sort of enlightenment movement, a counterculture fomenting out of socioeconomic disparities across Western cultures. In this sense, it stems from the failure of the Marxists to succeed in the USA and EU. The Western capital elites have pressed their economic advantages, refusing to give ground or allow governments to properly tax their hordes, squeezing society out of every last penny in order to fulfill their own selfish, greedy desires for full control and autonomy, fulfilling their own sovereignty under the maximum of Gordon Gekko: “Greed is good.”
Being woke entailed being enlightened to a set of principles or set of ideas, but it was not true Enlightenment in the Buddhist or Dharmic sense. Condensed or in a spiritual sense, wokism has nothing to do with universal ideas or maxims. It does not seek to relieve suffering or ground itself in compassion. Wokism relies solely on sociocultural factors, mainly race and identity. By stirring up passions and politicizing identity, wokism seeks to achieve societal change.
In some ways, wokism is the rule of the minority. It’s a relatively small group that feels disenfranchised and disconnected from society at large, ignored by the majority. In reality, this disconnect is mainly of their own doing and in their own minds. They build their own social networks, their own local cultures, and they refuse to connect to larger social structures that define regional or national societies. They do not go into the halls of power at their local state, Congress, or municipal City Council to challenge authority or make their voices heard. Instead, they operate in back alleyways and on the fringes. At least, this was the case up until the 2010s
It was at that point that they began to make organized efforts to achieve positions of power all around the USA. They didn’t do this through cooperation and collaboration. They didn’t do this by attempting to win the vote in democratic ways. They did this largely through social pressures, illegal electioneering, cultural devices like canceling their opponents, and, in some cases, violent kinetic hostility. This is not a movement that is meant to sustain, uphold, or reinforce a democratic society. Like Marxism, it exists on revolution and then spectacularly fails.
Why do the woke continue to exist? They are financed. They are financed by large corporate interests who have largely been educated through a system that reinforces a set of values underpinning woke ideology. These are mostly all based on power and how power is wielded. The woke, obsessed with power, blame all societal problems on racial animus, specifically white supremacy. Interestingly enough, many of the woke are themselves black supremacists. So, in some ways, this is a very racial ideology stemming from racial hatred. The woke main aim is to deconstruct the society and re-create a new society, but they have not actually clearly defined what that new society is, only that they will be in control of it.
Among all of their criticisms, the wokists have never truly defined their proposed alternative model of governance: socioeconomic, structuring, social interaction, or economic interaction. The result is that as they come into positions of power, they do whatever they like, and they typically have no education other than this academically derived understanding of race, power, and identity — based on theories that essentially constitute a mix of feminist and Marxist class, gender and race-based hatred. They lock the skills and connections necessary to prosperously govern a country. In all instances where wokists have come to power, their movement has been hijacked or led to such high levels of incompetence that they find themselves administering and governing a society that crumbles.
Wokism is a naturally and inherently destructive movement. It’s a movement largely akin to a screaming toddler who wants something very badly or wants to express an emotion but is unable to clearly put it into words. And if the thing they want so badly is ever achieved, it only goes on to scream about the next thing. There are no real skills that can be offered other than a continuing line of tantrums, emotional outbursts, and nonsensical wailings— chiefly expressions of hatred and discontent aimed at targets along lines of racialized and sexualized hatred.
In the United States today, the woke have taken the presidency and erected as a puppet to protect themselves from criticism, an old senile octogenarian who, as a career politician, could help them to understand the levers of governance but who is inherently limited by his own stigmatisms, personality, and character. They lack the maturity to substantiate meaningful dialogue in the civil society that could nurture progress or lay the foundations for any sort of prosperity, instead screaming nonsense and taking what they want. Anyone who opposes the wokists is silenced or ostracized. In this way, wokeism, when it takes power and holds positions of power, metastasizes into an authoritarian, oppressive force. Still lacking maturity and wisdom, the woke flail about protecting and enriching themselves, with no real awareness as to the wider impacts and ramifications of their actions. No real long-term strategic objectives, lacking even the ability to clearly define a policy framework. Instead, everything is simply a reaction or done on a whim.
For the wokists, the longing to destroy patriarchal, white society is really their only agenda other than self-preservation and self-enrichment. This longing based on race, sex, and gender hatred is largely a product of a misunderstanding of the nature of history and a refusal to work with the tools of the present to move forward in a peaceful and collaborative way. They have constructed for themselves a scarecrow out of sexist and racist ill will.
Discontent with what they see as a patriarchal power structure globally, they oppress and destroy what white men do from every angle. They are the ultimate Misandrists. Even as women have come to parity with men in many fields, the woke continue in their crusade without really understanding where they, themselves, actually sit in the course of events— lacking all self-awareness and presence of mind. They do not understand the present but act only on their own stigmatized understandings of historical events, projecting these ideas onto others despite their inaccuracy or scientific falsehood.
Discontent with what they see as a racial, white-constructed power system, globally, they oppress whites and seek to destroy them. The woke do not see power structures constructed by other racial groups, and they do not consider the racial or socioeconomic structures of other countries. They are oblivious to the reality that some countries are homogenously black, semite, or Han. In fact, they only look at the country where they live in and the society they live in. These countries are largely in the European and North American political sphere. The woke are overwhelmingly obsessed with creating their own interpretations of historical events, which are often so highly mischaracterized and disconnected from real events that following any thread of logic becomes impossible. Their understanding of history is convoluted and fundamentally born out of sexist and racist animus.
Wokism has largely been hijacked. What was once a fringe movement in the United States that spread slowly to Western Europe has now been financed by globalist corporatist elites and governments seeking the destruction of the USA. It is being promoted and supported by countries who have it in their interest to see the United States and the European Union destroyed, checked, and brought to their knees. Many capitalists have simply used the movement to generate profit and growth for their own companies, while some Marxists and socialists have bought in for the revolutionary fervor and cashed out by stealing and misappropriating collecting funds. What was initially intended to be used for social good has been captured and steered by movements attempting to achieve the goal of depopulating the planet— the transhumanists.
Ultimately, wokism is an ideology of deception. They claim to be enlightened. They are only enlightened to their own hatred along the lines of politicized identity. Lacking awareness of the nature of universal forces or the present state of the human condition. With no interest for self-development and hardly an ounce of compassion for anyone— not even themselves, the woke exist on lies that they tell to themselves and that they spread to others in order to deflect from the true nature of their nebulous, destructive ideology.
