"Co-optation of wokeness" is incoherent, wokeness doesn't exist outside of time, space and political economy. Identity politics was always already a peculiar advent of neoliberalism. There's no pure, non-coopted version out in fairy land, just waiting for us to rehabilitate it.
Like, Adorno? I haven't read him but it seems remote. He certainly seemed (to my understanding) to have made peace with capitalism as a bulwark against fascism but that's not exactly a tough insight for a guy in his context to arrive at.

In any case it's not helpful to attribute ideas to people. It's like looking for original sin. Social practices arise out of the necessities for reproducing the society. You can't just put the genie back in the bottle with more accurate ontology.

I don't think most of that stuff predates neoliberalism, and it's a pretty broad field.
