This month is the fifth anniversary of the publication of Tatarney McGrath's acclaimed book,

Woke, A Guide to Social Justice.

I created this intersectional activist and slam poet in order to satirize the new intolerant and authoritarian identity obsessed religion and its stranglehold on society.

Having seen so many posh and entitled activists berating working-class straight white people for their privilege,

inspiration. For instance, in a chapter from Woke, entitled

Towards an Intersectional Socialist Utopia,

Titania makes the following observation.

Capitalism, after all, is a singularly male phenomenon.

The ultimate symbol of capitalism, the skyscraper, is nothing

Sixteen months after the book was published, this article appeared in the guardian, upward thrusting

buildings ejaculating into the sky. Do cities have to be so sexist?

What about this passage from a chapter in Woke called White Death.

Here, Titania calls out Helen Keller for her white privilege.

Consider, if you will, the example of White American author Helen Keller, 1880 to 1968. Even though she was left deaf and blind
