What's Left After Wokeness?

In the article "What's Left After Wokeness?" by Susan Neiman, the author explores the concept of "woke" and its implications for the left. Neiman argues that while the term is widely recognized, it is confusing because it combines left-wing emotions with assumptions drawn from the right, such as tribalism and a focus on power rather than justice. She advocates for a return to universalist values and argues that fighting oppression requires appeals to universal values rather than tribalism. Neiman also discusses the rise of reactionary forces globally, attributing it to the ease of tribalism as a response to neoliberalism. [Extracted from the article]
