Abstract
The word ‘woke’ which originated with Black resistance movements in the United States, has in the last few years been weaponized by the right, in the same way that ‘political correctness’ has been in the 1980s and 90s. That weaponization has made it impossible to distinguish critical scholarship from dogma, indeed it has conflated the two. If there is censoriousness on the left, it is nothing to compare with the legal power of the authoritarian right. This censoriousness has to be understood not as something inherent in leftist thought, but as the product of the neoliberal university context from which it emerges.
