What does that even mean

I tried to figure out how they're defining woke this time too. Even after reading it's still a bit vague, but I think it comes down to this quote:

“Far-right parties will keep talking about immigration because it's their core topic, but in order to increase their appeal they need to kind of diversify their issues, what they talk about, and this is where woke capitalism comes in,” said Sofia Vasilopoulou, professor of European politics at King’s College London.

Far-right folks don't wanna think about anything other than what they've been thinking about all this time. Having to suddenly think about other things is too much for them. At least that's what I'm getting from this.
