You and I, comrade, and all our friends, are the 'cultural Marxists.' It started when we stop up with all those Black students demanding African American studies programs, and we did so opposing the anti-cultural 'Marxists' who saw this as reactionary. It took us a while to catch up with the impact of the Stonewall rebellion against the closeting of homosexuals, but in the end, we did.

We also have some heroes in our past to look to for inspiration. In 1859-60, there a was a mass labor youth upsurge all across the North, the 'Wide Awakes', backing Lincoln in mass torchlit parades at night. After Lincoln's victory, when he called for volunteers to fight the slavocracy, they were first in line. So yes, being 'woke' means being wide awake to our realities. Reclaim it.
