Wokeness is... Marxist propaganda

It isn't. "Wokeness" really has nothing to do with Karl Marx.

It's a word with a weird, twisting history. It started off exclusively meaning "aware the the police mean you harm if you're black." Then it spent like a year or two in 2014-2015 meaning "fanatically committed to all aspects of social justice," and then by the time Trump was in office it was used exclusively by the Right to insult the Left.

And it was such a Millennial word that, yeah, Zoomers are often like "What does that word even mean, it's just this weird random insult that crazy people keep hurling at me because I don't hate gay people."

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

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.
