"Only the economic left can beat the Woke"

Wokeness has almost nothing to say about the economy, and, more crucially, the more we see Woke in action in the larger world outside academe, the clearer it becomes that Woke is perfectly compatible with the current economic ideology—that is to say, with capitalism.

Demands for diversity and for representation almost never seem to get around to the question of class, not at the newsrooms of The New York Times and The Washington Post, not in Silicon Valley, not on Wall Street. A tour of the diversity statements of major universities makes it clear that there is a blanket assumption that the underrepresented groups are either nonwhite or non-cisgender. The new consensus strongly favors race-sex-and-gender representation, rather than material inequality, as the locus of political action.

In fact, we need a lot of immigrants to fill the job openings. They grow the economy. They start businesses. We need them.

"When Adolph Reed, Jr., writes that the real project of Woke is to diversify the ruling class, and little else, in a sentence he has described the essence of the new cultural system."

What difference does "diversity" make in the success or failure of a business in making money? That is, how does diversity improve success? Will putting diversity ahead of other business considerations make a company more successful?

Universities do it to make themselves look like moral institutions.

So, as professors keep losing tenure tract jobs, many are working semester to semester.
