I'm working off this guy's accusation that Wokeism is a "pseudo-religion":
https://hwfo.substack.com/p/science-says-sam-harris-is-alt-right I don't... but if you did take his nonsense seriously, then Wokeism is a broader ethical system than Antifa. Antifa seems to me to be more honestly anarchist, playing whack-a-mole with asymmetric power. Perhaps it depends on how one defines "democracy & fair play". Wokeism seems to be more about cultural engineering. I wouldn't expect the Woke to have a problem with the asymmetry between, say, Beyonce's voice and Richard Spencer's pathetic post-punch rants. Antifa, however, may one day turn on to the fascist imagery implicit in every group dance choreography (or the existence of "clap tracks" and autotuners in every modern pop song) and try to hammer down that peak a bit. One can dream. For the most part, because white cis men still have the overwhelming majority of all power in the US, Antifa and Wokeists should align nicely for the indefinite future. Of course, there's also an inter-personal difference. Wokeists, us being soft-handed snowflakes, aren't as likely as Antifa to bring body armor to the protests ... but you never know for sure.
