"We gotta drop the woke shit to be class conscious" 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

nahh that's just oppression with a higher minimum wage and maybe some M4a, my guy
You have to start with the concerns of the least powerful first. That's not being woke, that's strategy.

If you start with the people who need the least, you lose them once they get what they want.

We have to understand how power works, especially under capitalism.
Look back at history. Every time we get some apparent gains they are mostly applied to people whose identity fits the overculture, and then what? We lose them as allies, and even worse they become actively antagonistic to our struggles.
If a poor, disabled Black immigrant transwoman who is not Christian can live well, the rest of are set by default (structrally speaking ofc). All these systems work together at all times - you can't pick & choose who gets their needs met starting from the top down.
Shout out to bell hooks.
