To be woke means to be aware of racial injustice and the actual lived experience of minorities. Marxism is an economic theory. Now people who don’t like Marxism have attached all kinds of things to it. All kinds of bad things have occurred in the name of Marxism so I am not defending it but it doesn’t help to get concepts mixed up. Heightened awareness is a good thing.

It “helps” to get things “mixed up” if your goal is to avoid the real issues by derailing the discussion with nonsense.

You are right about the term woke, but there is an academic description of CRT. However, as you suggest, in popular usage, conservative critics have made it a catch all for any discussion of race conservatives don’t like.
