A Short, Comprehensive Definition of "Woke"
About this episode
This episode provides a concise definition of 'Woke' through the lens of critical theory and Leninist politics.
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 179 Woke can be summarized in a single, short way. Woke means thinking with critical theory and acting like a Leninist. That's all it really comes down to: having awakened to the alleged relevance of counter-hegemonic critical theory combined with friend-enemy tribal politics and Machiavellian permission structures. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks it all down, making Woke easier than it ever has been before. Join him for the insight needed to recognize Woke wherever it appears.
