successor ideology
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: Coined by essayist Wesley Yang.
Senses: examples: text: Many political liberals have traded in classical liberal values for what writer Wesley Yang calls the "successor ideology," commonly known as woke ideology. It's an ideology that claims to have the absolute truth about why there's disparity in the world and, hence, overrides the need for societal debate about such matters.
ref: 2022, David L. Bernstein, Woke Antisemitism: How a Progressive Ideology Harms Jews:
text: Variously identified as "woke," as an applied form of "critical race theory," or as a likely "successor ideology" to liberalism, this movement vows to remake society in a radical manner. To do so, many of its most vocal advocates are willing to rethink fundamental principles, like the focus on individuals over groups, on which liberal democracies have traditionally been built.
ref: 2022, Yascha Mounk, The Great Experiment: How to Make Diverse Democracies Work:
text: An alternative term to 'woke' that has utility as a historical place marker is 'the successor ideology'. The phrase was coined by the US writer Wesley Yang to characterize a chapter in the evolution of left-wing thought that emerged from the traditional political liberalism of the post-Cold War era and is in large part a reaction against it, but that doesn't posit much by way of an alternative programme.
