Resumen

Este artículo critica la irracionalidad poscolonial o, más concretamente, la ideología liberal del wokeísmo en Estados Unidos, con sus diversas facetas, desde la cultura de la cancelación hasta la política de la identidad. El wokeísmo se diferencia del wokeness - este último se define como una praxis materialista dialéctica. Se presenta una genealogía del izquierdismo en Estados Unidos para contextualizar el debate. La epistemología irracional del wokeísmo se revela desde perspectivas marxistas y psicoanalíticas. La irracionalidad poscolonial se contrapone a la razón histórica del pensamiento decolonial.
