Woke Is Dead, Long Live Woke w/ Sophie Weiner

<p>Friend of the pod and veteran of the posting wars Sophie Weiner joins us to discuss the latest round of wokeness discourse touched off by AOC in her recent interview with ABC in which, in grand ableist fashion, she declared Woke 1 to have been &quot;crazy.&quot; Mass protests against racist police violence, silly tweets, and other things people stupidly conflate when they talk about Woke 1. What is actually good about being woke, and what should be left in the past? The need to defend police and prison abolition as core tenets of communist thought. Plus, Jamie's thoughts on why revolutionaries and DSA should both stay in their lanes.</p>
