I think he isn't a leftist, but just reasonable

One could argue Linux, GPL, and Open Source are all based on woke communist concepts.

Here in the Netherlands they accuse people of being a 'deugmens' which literally translates as being a 'virtuehuman', a human with virtues. Except for possible pretentiousness, having virtues is hardly a bad thing, quite the opposite. Being politically correct has negative connotations, but most of the time it's very easy to explain why something is politically incorrect, because the incorrect route has often proven in the past to be disastrous. People used to talk about 'political correctness gone mad' but now very often any political correctness is deemed bad. Woke is considered by some to be one of the worst insults you can get, but waking up and seeing that there is terrible inequity in this world, seeing that we are very whatever-centric in our thoughts/actions and questioning all that, is hardly a bad thing. Now the question is, do we need to reappropriate these words, reclaim and reframe them, or should we ignore them and move beyond them because people have been so deeply conditioned with 'woke=bad' no questions asked.

Lol to people that believe this is left. This is central. You know there is a party to support these beliefs? It's called the libertarian party, Google it. You didn't have to vote for someone who doesn't represent you as a person regardless of what the Internet says!?
