Most people using "woke" as a pejorative have no idea what the term means. It is beyond the scope of this thread but I suspect you and I different definitions for the term and how/where it should be applied.
While you and your parents were standing in the middle of the pool was it the communism, the "woke" (whatever that means to you), or the brutality that made it wet?

Well, actually the Communist think they invented what we call “woke” here in the US except they took it much further. I can give examples from who they put as university presidents (hint they had no schooling) to empowerment of women (taking young children from their homes and families, housing them together - so mother could work) all driven by the ideology. The wealthy were not taxed, everything they had; home, land was taken from them and made “public” which meant it went to members of the party. And much, much more. And, by the way, if you disagreed you were executed, sometimes made into mince meat. My mother had to actually teach her young students, who were called “Pioneers” from grade 1, to report their parent (if they still lived at home) if a parent said anything against the party. This is not fiction. I know you must find these things hard to believe, and you’d really like to be able to explain it away, but my family actually lived it.
