A new form of socialism has escaped from the lab of “Woke 1.0,” and it seems intent on taking over the Left.
This isn’t your grandfather’s socialism, featuring factory workers waving red flags and professors droning on about dialectical materialism. The new socialists are young, college-educated, and racially diverse. They talk about intersectionality, pronouns, and microaggressions. They may not think the USSR was on the right side of history, but they’re sure America’s on the wrong side of it.
