The ultimate woke?
William Morris' 'Ten Socialist Commandments' from his Socialist Sunday School:
Love your schoolfellows, they will become your fellow workers and companions in life.
Love learning, which is the food of the mind; be as grateful to your teacher as to your parents.
Make every day holy by good and useful deeds and kindly actions.
Honour good people, be courteous and respect all, bow down to none.
Do not hate or offend anyone. Do not seek revenge, but stand up for your rights and resist tyranny.
Be not cowardly, protect the feeble and love justice.
Remember that all good things of the earth are the result of labour. Whoever enjoys them without working for them is stealing the bread of the worker.
Observe and think in order to discover the truth. Do not believe what is contrary to reason and never deceive yourself or others.
Do not think that he who loves his own country must hate and despise other nations, or wish for war, which is a remnant of barbarism.
Help to bring about the day when all nations shall live fraternally together in peace and prosperity.
Suits me.

The moneychangers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We now restore that temple to the ancient truths. The measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply values more noble than mere monetary profit.
