The word in itself is pretty meaningless. They use it to refer to anything they consider left wing, but using "woke" instead of "left-wing" gives it an air of illegetimacy, like something newly made up. Like, they wouldn't say that the BPP was woke, but might consider that a movie about them is. You could say the meanings are different because "woke" is more about culture, not about economy or revolt against physical conditions... But that's the point, they try to reduce politics to only "culture wars". Because making up narratives around that is easier to them than having a class analysis.
