It seems like modern wokeism was designed to make it easier for rich elites to exploit their privilege. Stuff like this makes it easier for lazy kids with rich and connected parents to get into best colleges/universities. All the talk about race and gender also conveniently turns attention away form real solutions that could help the underprivileged, like progressive taxation, which the rich elites oppose.

At least Marx was smart enough to understand that ultimately who has the money/assets is the key, unlike modern progressives and their obsession with other less relevant qualities. We should tax the rich and fund the poor regardless of their ethnicity or identity.

I think this implies a personal philosophy along the lines of negative utilitarianism. I'm not sure everyone shares that.

Oh, you mean the correct one?

Well, we need to make them understand that some ethical systems are better than others. Negative util is truthtil.

It wasn't designed for this, but you're correct in that, so long as existing structures of economic power remain as they are, the rest is mostly just virtue theater.
