    It makes no sense to be either really. "Woke" is just being vaguely progressive, which is a mishmash of good instincts and liberal ideology. When people are anti-woke, it's usually really reactionary, but being "pro-woke" would fail to recognise how incredibly liberal those politics are and how absent it is of true, Marxist class analysis. This lack of class analysis allows "wokeness" to be weaponised by the ruling class and used as a cudgel to beat down the working class and its organisations. However, if you are organising people, working class people with "woke" common sense is a good starting point imo.
