I think it's unfortunate that "left-aligned" and "woke"; communist and liberal have become so conflated in popular discourse.

I'm a leftist myself. But I like shared ownership of the means of production (which is the opposite of liberalism), not performative "woke" acts usually wielded as a weapon in class war.
