There's a right name for the "Woke" ideology, and it's critical constructivism. Critical constructivist ideology is what you "wake up" to when you go Woke. Reading this book, which originally codified it in 2005, is like reading a confession of Woke ideology. Let's talk about it.

Get to understand this term. It's not a new term, as those pushing wokeism claims it is.

Leftists will hide their ideolody in plain site through sleepy words and plain brown books. They make their ideology as uninteresting as possible so that the rest of us aren't motivated to try and understand it.

It’s all socialism, but if you want to do battle with the wokeists, you have to understand them or they will commit great evil when they are done.

Wokism is simply a particular form of Sophistry. All Post Modern schools of thought are Sophistry.

Constructivist educational methods destroy learning by denuding curriculae of substance in favor of “process”.

So-called “reform math”, absolute numbskullery, is an example.

The Hegelian Dialectic argument is a process where you start at the solution and work backwards until you reach where you are to determine the steps you need to take to get to where you want to be.

Critical Constructivism is just another way of saying that there is no objective reality and we can make our own to create a great society. It makes use of the Hegelian Dialectic to create its own reality.
