My model is
Communism 1.0: Marx
Communism 2.0: Lenin, Stalin, Mao, etc.
Communism 3.0: Western Marxism, Woke Maoism, Corporate Sovietism
Communism 1.0:

The theoretical concerns laid out by Marx simply couldn't be actualized. They were cult-religious nonsense that simply wasn't practicable and was based in all these ideas of history inevitably moving in particular directions. It's the foundation, though.
Communism 2.0:

Lenin (et al.?) develop the Vanguard model (or stagist model) of implementing Communism by having a purposed bourgeois-but-Communist Party seize the means of production to transform society through the forced inversion of praxis (a Marxist concept).

I did this thread on critical constructivism (the right name for "Woke") last night, and I'm grateful it has received over half a million views so far. One thing I didn't detail is how hostile to science critical constructivism is. The sciences weren't ready for its attack.
I don't think any of us are under particular illusions (except the Very Smart People, maybe) that science is being attacked by Woke very successfully, but I suspect most people don't have any idea how it works conceptually or practically. We should talk about these factors.
For those interested in or concerned about this, or really if you're anyone at all, I strongly recommend this four-part podcast series I did about the conquering and retooling of the university, particularly the sciences, by what amounts to this ideology.

Idk who needs to hear this, but "Christ consciousness" is not Christian, it is occult. It is most prominently a part of what is called New Thought, which is a Gnostic-Hermetic "New Age" cult of theosophy that has been mainstreamed in American/Western pop-culture by Oprah, et al.
"Christ consciousness" does not refer to being conscious of Christ, or having a felt experience of Christ, as a part of a Christian faith. It refers to having the same enlightened consciousness New Thought ascribes to Christ as just another of its claimed historical masters.
Jesus, according to New Thought, was a historical man with Christ consciousness. So was Buddha. So are the Dalai Lamas. So are many others. "Christ consciousness" refers to the Hermetic principle of renouncing the world and attaining awakening in the second person of God yourself

There's a right name for the "Woke" ideology, and it's critical constructivism. Critical constructivist ideology is what you "wake up" to when you go Woke. Reading this book, which originally codified it in 2005, is like reading a confession of Woke ideology. Let's talk about it. Image
The guy whose name is on the cover of that book is credited with codifying critical constructivism, or as it would be better to call it, critical constructivist ideology (or ideologies). His name is Joe Kincheloe, he was at Magill University, and he was a critical pedagogue.
Just to remind you, critical pedagogy is a form of brainwashing posing as education that is the application of critical theory to educational theory and praxis as well as teaching and practice of critical theories in schools. It comes from Paulo Freire.

I recently went on a deep-dive exploration of the term "gender" and its history as it pertains to Woke so I could figure out what it really means. What I found out actually surprised me.

It doesn't mean anything at all. It's a completely ideological contrivance.
Historically, for over a century, people have used the term "gender" to mean "sex," a kind of polite synonym for that particular biological status that doesn't happen to be exactly the same word as the activity people do when they're getting down with one another.
The term seems to have been an import from grammar, where certain words are said to have a gender (masculine, feminine, and sometimes neuter), which is not really much of a feature of the English language but is common in others like Latin, French, Spanish, Italian, and German.

Church. They need Jesus.
I'm really serious here, in case you don't realize it. What the people who wave that flag most need is a sense of unconditional acceptance and love. They need space to repent of their rebellion and a community in which to feel forgiveness and the lifted burden, plus to grow.
The Queer Flag represents the queer political ideal: opposition to whatever is normal, legitimate, dominant. That's rejection of the Logos in favor of a poisoned Pathos. Most have trauma and hurt they haven't processed. They need truth, love, forgiveness, healing, acceptance...
