Revolution Books In-person Screening of a Talk by Sunsara Taylor at UCLA on:
“Woke” is a destructive force in the political, intellectual, artistic and ethical life of society.
From RevCom.us:
“Bizarre and capricious rules enforced by cancel culture threats. Puffed-up unscientific claims to ‘represent the marginalized.’ Insisting that people ‘stay in their lanes’ in fighting oppression. ‘Woke’ lunacy manifests much that is harmful with the capitalist-imperialist system and its dominant culture, furthering the nightmare of humanity!
” ‘Woke’ once meant righteous awareness of racial oppression but has long since morphed into fanatical lunacy and vicious mob mentality. A bloodlust to target and tear into individuals, while cowardly ducking, and often, actively obstructing the real and needed fight against the system, especially its overthrow through an actual revolution!
“Woke Lunacy and the fascist steamroller moving through society are in a deadly dance, mutually opposing, while fueling and feeding off the other. Fascism is by far the greater danger, but in this dynamic, brazen white supremacy and misogyny feast on and defeat the brittle bravado of “woke.”
“At a time of unprecedented change—as the “powers that be” clash and as cohering norms of the U.S. are ripping—there is a much greater chance to bring this whole oppressive edifice down. We have a chance to aim for something radically different; we have a responsibility to fight for something actually liberating. We must seize this chance and rise to this responsibility…”
