It’s both, a moralising ideology that survived their stringent selection criteria (it had to not threaten their interests and further their campaign against the middle via a high-low alliance), and which most of them also believe in.

Also what you say does not really contradict Marx' views. Wokeism is just the "false consciousness" du jour. Ordinary people believe it, just like they believe in tons of economic fallacies that work against them and in favor of corporations.

In some ways probably, but in exchange you have a mostly cultural left which focuses less on labor problems. I also think what is happening is merely taking classical liberalism to its logical conclusions, perhaps in exaggerated o baffling ways...

Wokeism isn't liberal, but it has this trait – in common with leftist ideas in general – that it plays on liberal assumptions to gain entry, using liberal vocabulary and targeting liberal concerns, though with vastly different meanings or intentions.

Thus leftists always claimed to worry about things like equality, freedom, fairness. This gained them entry to liberal political institutions, altho their agenda was in every case inimical to the liberal ideals and things like 'equality' have very difft meaning for the left.
