The Four Primary Goals of the Woke Left
You must know what they want to be effective in defeating them.

In 1984, George Orwell wrote the following:
“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever.”
We are living in a precursor to this eventuality. And important people with the power to stop it are starting to notice.
Today Elon Musk tweeted “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters.”
He’s right, you know.
If the woke left wins, that will be the end of our way of life. And the primary place this battle is being waged is in the government schools (but that’s another conversation for another day).
What does it mean to “defeat” the woke left?
We cannot know that if we don’t understand their goals, what they’re fighting for, what they consider to be winning.
So, I responded to Elon with the four goals of the woke left.
Their goals are as follows:
Gain as much power as possible.
Destabilize the system
Attack Capitalism
Usher in their Marxist utopia
I’ve developed this list based on deeply immersing myself by watching thousands of hours of their long-form trainings and private presentations almost every day for the last three years. I’ve watched more of their real-world training content than almost anyone else on the planet. And when you listen to their long-form content (not the clips you see on Twitter or TikTok), you see these themes pop up over and over again, very predictably.
Every single tactic the woke left implements focuses on attaining one or more of these goals by integrating their extremist ideology into institutional policy.
The protests, the social media posts…all that is just window-dressing. It’s a distraction. The real goal of the woke left is to gain institutional power. They do that quietly when no one’s looking because they’re distracted by the protests and the social media posts.
Let’s break down these goals and discuss how each shows up.
Remember, every single tactic these people use is designed to achieve one or more of these goals. A single tactic can hit on more than one goal - those are their most effective tactics.
Goal #1: Gain as much power as possible
When a person on the woke left dies, instead of saying “rest in peace”, the woke left says “rest in power.” Search for “rest in power” on Twitter and see what comes up. Here’s a sample:
This isn’t even just a thing in the United States. It’s international:
Power is what the woke left covets above all else because it means they can institute the changes they want to bring about their Marxist utopia.
Power can come in a variety of forms:
Elected positions, everything from school board to state government to federal office. This is how they enshrine their policies in law and compel compliance with the threat of force.
Leadership positions in organizations, like CEOs, VPs, heads of human resources in private businesses of all sizes. This is how they took over private industry to basically make diversity, equity, and inclusion mandatory to exist in polite society. When they can’t use the power of the state, your job depends on your compliance.
Indirect forms of soft power, such as influencers, authors, commentators, social media reply guys, etc. This form of power is actually the most dangerous because it influences the culture, and politics is downstream of culture. The woke left do not get into elected positions or leadership positions in organizations without this form of indirect soft power preceding them.
Goal #2: Destabilize the system
Want to know why the woke left changed the definition of racism from an individual judgment of a person based on their skin color to one that infects the entire system?
Or why the woke left are actively pushing radical gender ideology to children via the public schools starting in elementary school?
Or why the woke left demanded we shut down our entire society during the COVID pandemic while they simultaneously declared racism a public health emergency to go out and protest?
In order to understand why they do what they do, it is critical that you understand that their goal is not fairness or justice or a more equal society.
It is to destabilize our system.
Arguing our entire system is racist is not designed to fix racism. It’s designed to de-legitimize the system.
Shutting down society and printing money during the pandemic was designed to cause inflation, itself destabilizing. And then the BLM protests just re-inforced the myth of systemic racism, hitting on their goal in two different ways.
Transing kids in school is not designed to help kids find their true self and live happy and fulfilling lives. It’s designed to make a portion of the population infertile and forever dependent on medical intervention. It’s also designed to abolish the idea of gender, which will lead to the destruction of the family, one of the goals discussed in The Communist Manifesto.
This is a passage from The Communist Manifesto:
“Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the communists.
On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based? On capital, on private gain. In its completely developed form, this family exists only among the bourgeoisie. But this state of things finds it complement in the practical absence of the family among the proletarians, and in public prostitution.
The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its complement vanishes, and both with vanish with the vanishing of capital.
Do you charge us with wanting to stop the exploitation of children by their parents? To this crime, we plead guilty.”
And not for nothing, here is the passage that immediately follows this one in The Communist Manifesto:
“But, you will say, we destroy the most hallowed of relations, when we replace home education by social.
And your education! Is not that also social, and determined by the social conditions under which you educate, by the intervention, direct or indirect, of society, by the means of schools, etc? The Communists have not invented the intervention of society in education; they do but seek to alter the character of that intervention, and to rescue education from the influence of the ruling class”
See how it works? When Marx and Engels wrote The Communist Manifesto, they told us exactly what they were doing. They’re taking over the schools to undo the bourgeoisie society and usher in their own.
When you understand that everything the woke left do is designed to destabilize our system, you start perceiving their actions in a new way, one far more sinister than most people understand.
Goal #3: Attack Capitalism
Meet Dena Simmons. Dena is the trainer in the public schools in Cambridge, MA, right down the street from Harvard University.
And Dena is an anti-capitalist. She publicly advocates abolishing capitalism as a way to abolish whiteness. Learn more about Dena here.
As a reminder, when the woke left uses the term whiteness, they are usually not using it to refer to your skin color. The term whiteness means who owns the power structure. Who the boss is. Who the landlord is. Who owns the private property. This is the capitalist (or bourgeoise) class.
The woke left would consider anyone who holds a form of individual power (rather than collective power) “white” regardless of the color of their skin. That’s why Larry Elder is considered “The Black face of white supremacy”
It’s also why whiteness can be multi-racial.
This is also backed up in The Communist Manifesto, which provided the basis of the 1619 project, which said racism was invented in 1619 by white people when the first slave came to America in order to keep white people in power.
Whiteness is not your skin color. It’s another word for capitalism. The bourgeoisie.
Goal #4: Usher in their Marxist utopia
Make no mistake, the ultimate goal of the woke left is to remake the world in the image of Marx. That is why they continuously push the idea of equity over equality, as illustrated by this stock photo found on Adobe Stock:
Equity is about equality of outcomes, rather than equality of opportunity. They are trying to normalize outcomes.
This is how you eliminate the bourgeoise class and make everyone a proletariat.
A Marxist society makes everyone “equal”…but eliminates the possibility of the flourishing of human potential. No one can be exceptional. Everyone must be the same.
They are gaining power in the system to implement policies that will destabilize it.
A destabilized system will allow them to replace the “failed” policies (the ones they caused to fail) with different policies that support the elimination of Capitalism.
And when they eliminate Capitalism, they’ll replace it with a new system.
That new system will be Marxism.
“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever.”
Orwell knew what he was talking about.
Leave a comment and tell us if you agree with these being the goals of the woke left, or if you think it’s something different.
Fight back against the woke and support my work
I believe the woke - on the left and the right - are an existential threat to our values as Americans. Some of them know it, most of them are just useful innocents. Regardless, fighting back against this woke cultural revolution is my full-time job. I’m dedicated to exposing the woke ideology in our country, helping people to understand what’s going on, and providing spaces for non-woke people to connect, support each other, and plan ways to fight back.
Here’s how you can help.
Brilliant, sparkling clarity, of historic importance in our uphill fight for survival! Your magnificent work is required reading for every Patriot whether of the left or of the right, as long as they are sworn to the American victory in this existential battle for our souls and our Flag. Thank you and G-d bless you.
Excellent essay Karlyn. Thank you!
