From Wikipedia: “In political science, transformation (‘to reshape’, ‘to convert’) refers to the process of fundamental change in a political system and, where applicable, also the societal and economic order.” 429
Transformation means system change; the terms “change” or “turn” are often used synonymously. Woke activists campaign in particular for so-called “sustainability transformations” and “diversity transformations”. With the term “socio-ecological transformation”, both agendas are combined in order to rebuild entire societies in a climate-just, inclusive, and sustainable way.430 431
Woke transformations are not to depend on broad consent from the population but are to be enforced on the instructions of experts (see Democracy and Negotiations). These far-reaching transformations require moral or even utopian goals as legitimisation (at least in economically stable states). Massive media support is crucial for this (see Disinformation and Narratives).
One of the most important transformations for woke activists is the Agenda 2030. The UN Agenda for sustainable development includes 17 main goals and 169 sub-goals.432 With ESG regulations, rules, and lucrative partnerships between companies and states, the UN Agenda is also to be implemented by the private sector.
As a result of digitalisation, networked digital information technologies are to be used for control.433 Through close digital networking, a social credit system based on the Chinese model could be implemented, which would make a totalitarian control system over the entire society possible.434 Previous ambitions in this direction during Covid policy make such dystopias seem realistic. So far, however, such dystopias remain speculative.
In summary, woke activists use the term transformation to describe a fundamental, often top-down restructuring of society, economy, and culture in line with their ideological goals.
