A new section of the right is foolishly bashing liberty … and even embracing Marxist ideas.
That’s why some call them the "woke right."

Years ago, author James Lindsay exposed the ridiculousness of the "woke left" with a hoax.
He sent fake research riddled with woke buzzwords to academic journals .
Some eagerly published them!
Now he worries about a radical section of the right, who act and think like the woke left.
To demonstrate that, Lindsay pulled off a new hoax.
He rewrote part of The Communist Manifesto and submitted it to a conservative magazine–which published it.
Lindsay points out that, in addition to agreeing with Karl Marx, the woke right, "engages in the same behaviors … victimhood mentality … cancel culture … they bully people online with swarms. They rewrite history."
He says they embrace bad ideas like racism, misogyny, and antisemitism, and warns that will empower the Left.
