Woke is a marxist rebrand.

Why did the socialist and communist left pivot from class war to environmentalism, feminism, race war, minorities, etc… ?

Marcuse, Gramsci, Mouffe… it wasn’t initially a “plan” but an intellectual current that saw the diminishing returns of classic marxist propaganda and suggested a diversification.

However after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the full might of institutional socialism adopted the strategy and pushed it hard. They funded it, they propagandised it and they taught it in schools and universities.

This book is one of many that advocated this shift.

Hegemony and Socialist Strategy: Towards a Radical Democratic Politics.

ESG, DEI, BLM… it’s all derivative of this. It’s all being paid by the same people. It’s all the same strategy: divide and conquer.

Of course this diversification immediately ran into huge contradictions as all those minorities and political movements had conflicting interests. The woke left has tried to bend its head around them for the past 50 years… with genius level doublethink.

If you are ever surprised by LGBT and muslim activists working together, it’s all part of the same strategy and all hangs from the same marxist thread.

However, if you know the rules of the woke pentagram, you will also know who gets to win whenever two of the factions within the coalition have a conflict of interest.

Ethnic > Gender. Environment > Ethnic. Gender > Colour. Class > Ethnic… and so on.
