Sumario:The article "No Wokery, Please, We Are Leftist" by Susan Neiman discusses the evolution of the term "woke" from its origins in the 1930s to its current usage in social justice movements. Neiman argues that the modern concept of "woke" has shifted from universalism to tribalism, eroding the ideals of universal rights and progress. She criticizes the left for falling into the trap of tribalism and abandoning Enlightenment principles. Neiman's analysis delves into the impact of neoliberalism, identity politics, and the dangers of tribalism on contemporary leftist politics.
