Woke capitalism is the one time I use it pejoratively. The things that 'wokeness' seeks to highlight have roots embedded in the economic system and so it's fallacious and insulting to pretend to hold those values absent a critique of the wider context.

I genuinely don’t understand why being “woke” is now seen as an insult.

I think he's probably more akin to a democratic socialist than a communist but the hyperbole whipped up about the left-wing is very distorting. He literally works for a not-for-profit organisation (the Linux Foundation) that develops technology that underpins lots of other things, including for-profit. That seems very democratic socialist to me and probably ought to be the political centre, not the far left.

The problem with capitalism is that if you're not 100% for it, then those that are, think you're 100% against it. These sorts of people are not very good with shades of grey.
