Woke leftists think people's conscious beliefs are determined by their cultural environment, so whoever controls the content of the culture controls the consciousness of the masses.
They want to control culture so they can control thought, which is basically the game they're in.

They think everyones views are socially/culturally determined; programmed into them by social forces of which they are unaware. Of course, the leftists never think their own views are just culturally determined, or that they have been programmed to be leftists.
They think they have transcended the cultural programming and are now able to influence the culture, to move culture forward because they are critically aware (or have critical consciousness) which lets them see the development of culture and the source code of social reality.
They think that they alone have transformed their consciousness, freed their minds, and woken up enough to move society forward rather than being controlled by it.
Only they can progress dialectiacally in order to change the culture, society, and peoples consciousness

As such, they seem themselves as having a greater degree of consciousness and agency than you, and thus see themselves as having the perogative to decide how society should operate, and what's good for everyone.
