It wasn't "woke" as we know it today with all the transgenderism (although TNG had an episode that dealt with that and, of course, "conversion therapy") But it was woke in the sense that they "abandoned all currency and the desire for things" in TNG (and brought back capitalism in DS9 with the Ferengi). All villainous groups were shown to be ultimately just misunderstood good people.

Except for the Ferengi because capitalists are inherently evil.
