Which are the two or three key issues that define “wokeness” in the United States?

Presently: identity group marginalization.

Early 20th century: economic class marginalization.

But in general: The marginalization of the “oppressed.”

This is Marxism, of course. Marxists are oppressed because they fail to comprehend alternative views other than their own. This is, ipso facto, irrationality. Do you know how I can say that with such confidence? Because Marxists consistently divide the world into two groups: oppressed and oppressor. And I agree. Marxists are oppressed. This is how Marxists are similar. I suppose the oppressor group is homogenous too. They are homogeneous in their ability to be self-reliant and productive. That is, to the Marxist, they are plainly not oppressed. Yet, within the “oppressor” group, this is where the similarity ends. Marxists are oblivious to this detail.

Productive (non-oppressed) people problem-solve with solutions arising from specific situations and circumstances (a circumscribable problem or injustice). Marxists (the woke, progressives, and the ideological left), on the other hand, problem solve by proposing utopian solutions for justice broadly. This is also why Marxism is revolutionary (Proletarian revolution – Wikipedia). The Marxists must tear down the existing system first.

Societal wealth has produced entitlement and, therefore, a growing community of woke. Yet, the woke, Marxist, and ideological left are losing their grasp of permanent leadership power. Because their ideological positions are harmful to civilization, expect them to dismantle as much of society as possible while trying to solidify some portion of that power.
