  I can immediately think of one woke policy that is considered to be a material demand: UBI, also Medicare for all and reparations for black people.

    As do people on the the right ; indeed I see UBI as a more right-wing policy which simplifies the welfare state. I don't think this has anything to do with wokriem

    Sure, I was just clarifying what GP wrote as the reply seemed to have missed/not understood a key nuance. Also providing a little context to what I assumed was meant by “material demands”, based on the quote from GP below. > The most virulent forms of racism are a symptom of material conditions, eg., that poor black people live uniformly in one area, and rich white people in another.
