Understanding Wokeness as a Make-Work Strategy for the Privileged Class

Описание: Quillette podcast host Jonathan Kay speaks with Swedish Marxist Malcom Kyeyune, who argues that nominally progressive theories of race and gender are actually aimed at securing influence, employment, and prestige for underemployed university graduates.

The podcast discusses the concept of "wokeness", not in a dismissive or mocking way, but as a serious strategy that well-educated, upper-middle-class people are increasingly using to generate and occupy high-paying jobs as consultants, communicators, equity and diversity specialists, human resource managers, and educators.
