You actually don't know what you're talking about. Woke is an intellectual wedge to promote Marxist ideology

Unfortunately it's you who have no idea what you're talking about. The Left tends to believe that historically marginalized groups should be elevated because that's what's just. That's pretty much it. The idea that it all goes back to some conspiracy rooted in some centuries-dead philosopher's ideas is just right-wing batfuckery.

Did you support BLM?

Keep looking, you'll see that Marxism has permeated what was once liberalism.

Did you support BLM?

No, I thought it was racist.

But here's the thing: 99% of people who support BLM have no idea who the founder is, or even that there is a founder.

They aren't secretly trying to seize the means of production and collectivize the factories. They just want black people to stop getting shot by police at higher rates.

That is also a dubious claim

Yeah, I'm aware that records aren't kept vigorously enough to prove it one way or the other. I'm just telling you what the Left actually believes. It's that black people are killed at higher rates than white people. It is not that we should form a dictatorship of the proletariat.

At least you've spotted that Marxist ideology is a bad thing.

Which is why the world's democracies are supporting Ukraine against a Marxist–Leninist power, which, in turn, is supported by a communist superpower.

Interesting that modern liberals support war to "stop the spread of communism". And the liberals of yesteryear fought to stop the war Vietnam. A war that was ostensibly about stopping the spread of communism. Why is that?

Russia invaded Ukraine. Everyone is against the war, except Putin, supporting by Xi and his puppet Kim. That means resisting Russia's brutal expansionism, and genocide.
