2024 has just begun, and America is faced with many problems. Senator Ted Cruz’s new book, “Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America,” summarizes these problems well. Sen. Cruz feels American society is now tainted and his book lays out how and why “wokeness” took over institutions. The senator also offers ideas for how to take some of these institutions back.
Political definitions for the word “woke” vary. The title of Sen. Cruz’s book makes his definition very clear. He sees woke as a synonym for cultural Marxism, a revolutionary leftist idea that opposes traditional culture and sees old fashioned ways as a source of oppression in the modern world.
