From what I heard, Marx was an extreme conclusion from Rousseau. The French Revolutionaries were definitely leftists, it's where we get the terms "left" and "right" from.

I guess the genealogy would go like this:

Wokeness comes from Critical Theory. Critical Theory comes from Marxism. Marxism was inspired by the French Revolution. The French Revolution was the Enlightenment run rampart.
