The insight highlights the importance of sticking to the original ideals of ideologies, particularly in the case of the left, emphasizing the need to address economic inequality to foster a fairer society. Progressivism is considered essential for societal advancement, rooted in principles of pro-skepticism, pro-equality, and anti-establishment. However, there is a noted shift from these original tenets in modern times, leading to criticism and ideological transformations. The discussion also delves into the concept of 'wokeness,' describing it as the use of superficial identity markers to establish social hierarchies, contrasting it with the earlier class-based distinctions in Marxism.
