John Duncan argues that "We should follow Césaire and not Mollet. We should recognize the particulars of racial, gendered, disabled, LBGTQIA+—yes, the whole gamut of woke oppressions—and avoid mystifying abstraction.

A project in which universalism is not an imposition to fall in line with, but a goal to struggle towards. Rather than celebrate the death of woke, I say we revive and herald it."
