We do not need further debate on political philosophy. Wokeness is not a political philosophy, nor is the Democrat party seeking any rational political goals.

Politics seeks to know how best to provide for defense against invasion, deterrence of crime, enforcement of oaths, establishment of justice, cultivation of civic virtue.

Monarchy is in disrepute, for Liberal theory holds all just powers of the State derive from the consent of the governed. Liberalism has two branches: Liberalism and Wokeism.

Classical liberalism holds that he best tactics for political order is to mistrust in the goodwill of the powerful, hence to limit the government by regular votes, separation of powers, checks and balances, and in all other things, to leave men at liberty to pursue godliness and goodness each man as he sees fit.
Classical liberalism is further subdivided into right and left.

Rightwing liberals, in America called republicans, mistrust the government’s oversight of the marketplace, and fear for the rich, who are easily outnumbered by envious mobs wishing to plunder them.

Leftwing liberals, in American called democrats, mistrust the marketplace, and fear for the poor, who are easily exploited and outmaneuvered by the rich and powerful.

Wokeism is not in the classical liberal tradition. It is in the esoteric theosophical tradition from which Marxism also springs. Wokeism is cultural Marxism.

Wokeism holds that the social order is produced by economic forces beyond human control, but that man suffers a painful evolution through violent stages of revolt and rebirth from feudalism to capitalism to socialism to Wokeism, envisioned as a utopia where human nature itself is changed to angelic, no man suffers greed or lack of charity, and the restrictions of cause and effect, the disutility of labor or the scarcity of resources no longer apply.

Since utopia is both perfect and inevitable, no credible reason for opposing it can or does exist: all opposition is “reaction” that is, unthinking bigoty, rooted in fear or selfish class interests.
