In reality, the "woke" are not the political left. They have abandoned universalism (e.g. the "antiracism" movement is now racist). They have abandoned rationality and science (e.g. transactivism now rejects the binarity of biological sex). They have largely abandoned economic issues. All this was not inevitable. It is NOT the logical conclusion of left principles. It violates those principles.

Because it is. Wokism is what happens when you take the leftist worldview seriously.
> They have abandoned universalism (e.g. the "antiracism" movement is now racist).
Racial differences in achievement haven't gone away, despite decades of anti-racist policies. This must mean that either there exist real non-trivial differences between the races or that racism is even more subtle and insidious than was assumed. If one is not willing to accept the former belief the only possible conclusion is the latter.

Feminism is based on a rejection of biological sex ("One is not born a woman, but becomes one"), and for decades you leftists had no problem with it.
