PG is full of shit. "Woke" originated within the black activist community and culturally goes back as far as the 1930s. It got adopted and became mainstream within the white liberal progressive community through the popularity of black music artists and social media in the late 20th century. It has absolutely nothing to do with Mao's Red Book or communism.
OK forget the "woke" thing here, let me rephrase, does the "1960s Berkeley protests" have a connection with
- Mao's Red Book, and
- the BLM/metoo/woke thing in the 2020s?
Maybe you could tell me what connection you want me to see?
