Roko added,
Sure. Marxism Classic posits this "oppressed" class that due to some vague handwaving is actually producing all the value that is being expropriated by a rentier class. Wokism changes the oppressed and rentiers. The "solution" in both cases is power to academics and allies.
The cover story for both is an inversion because the actual people stealing value are the revolutionaries and the actual productive people are the capitalists / whites.
I feel like this misses something important though. There is an element of both religious zeal and hypocrisy that is common to both.
- The soviet leaders in their nice dachas, preaching equality whilst the workers live in sh*t. - The Stazi getting people to rat on their neighbors, whilst publicly preaching brotherhood and cooperation
That's baked in because the "solutions" have no relationship to the problems they're supposed to be solving - they're merely excuses for the priestly class to steal things from the merchant class. Once in power a strongman takes over who acts somewhat more rationally.
The strongman acts more rationally because the first wave stole all the easily lootable stuff and there needs to be continuing production to skim - which won't happen under the pure revolutionary ideology - so he moderates and takes a somewhat sustainable slice.
Of course, he has to pay off more stakeholders than the old system so the skim is greater and his ideology forecloses actual good governance b/c it undermines his claim to power - being the embodiment of the revolution. CCP managed this transition best.
