Political Correctness — The Revenge of Marxism
| Quote: | | Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to. |

| Quote: | I have heard people who have grown up in former Communist countries say that we in the West are at least as brainwashed by Multiculturalism and Political Correctness as they ever were with Communism, perhaps more so. Even in the heyday of the East Bloc, there were active dissident groups in these countries. The scary thing is, I sometimes believe they are right.
But how is that possible? Don’t we have free speech here? And we have no Gulag? |

That's the stupidest thing in the world. I'm neither a commie nor am I in favour of political correctness, but it's simply not propaganda in favour of complete government control of goods to call a black person an African American instead of a nigger.

Just using a term isn't what political correctness is all about. That's just light correctness.
Do you think there are no differences between men and women aside from those related to reproduction?
Do you think that no society is superior to any other, that all should be judged entirely on their own merits? Including those that practice female circumcision?
Do you think that subjects like "logic" are culturally baised?
If you answered "no" then you are not thinking politcally correctly. If you answered "yet" than you have blinded yourself to reality.
