Where it comes from is not the same as who it has infected. I know many low income people who espouse woke ideology while also hating the rich. This highlights what the speaker said about the divisions of identity politics within the working class, while also reinforcing the idea that there are class divisions within the identity groups. I hate to use the word "intersectional", i would rather call them different ways and models and lenses of looking at social problems.
the word 'intersectional' was just a term invented by sociologists to make the rather obvious point that social categories can overlap. It has leaked into popular culture and is now bent and bandied around to suit whatever some writer or pundit is peddling - and much like the word 'quantum' lifted from physics, it has lost it's technical meaning and just become a buzzword
Except that I don't believe that "wokeness" comes from "the left," since those people aren't leftists.
They are what you yourself named, Chris, "the liberal class," which is the best description of them that I've ever seen.

I don't think you got my point.
I was discussing who "the left" actually is, not where wokeness comes from.
i dont disagree, but to be precise i think you were saying who the left isnt and who the wokies are.
