Clearly referring to President Bush, a smirking Penn recalled: “Well, in 1932 Huey Long said something very interesting. It was, 'Fascism will come to America, but likely under another name, perhaps anti-fascism.'”

Sean may be right, but not for the reasons he imagines.

While you're at it, warn them about this Gramsci Marxist - he's one of today's main PC activists / operatives in the DemocRAT Party. bttt

The scariest part is that I had several FReepers flashing through my mind as I read several of the quotes used in the article.
The methodology is given here. Too few will see.

Great article.

I was wondering why such a good article hadn't been posted...
Political Correctness — The Revenge of Marxism
Glad you put it up again SegerSkriv or I would've missed it.

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.

WOW! This has to be one of the most brilliant, on-target indictments of Communism I've ever read. Who is this guy? Never heard of him before.

I've never heard of him either and this piece is definitely brilliant and on target.

According to info on the blog site, http://www.gatesofvienna.blogspot.com, he's a 55-year-old male consultant living in Virginia. He's email is also at the web site and it's unspiek@chromatism.net

No, Fjordman is a norwegian blogger. He had his own blog, but chose to close it because it was to time consuming. Now he writes for Jihadwatch and Gates of vienna. His real name and location is not know because of security reasons.

It is indeed intensely critical but there is relatively little real thinking involved other than a mastery of pejorative terminology

Boy this really captures the essense of the BS "critical thinking' sell going on in universities. I had many of these sort of classes in my undergrad and you are right on. Thanks for the post.

Good points all, but in the meantime, we can act. Do not use or buy into Political Correctness, in any way shape or form. Call an ace an ace, not a heart.

All you have to do is check out Mao's Red Book-
"Not having correct politics is like having no soul"
I always thought that was a strange one since real communists don't believe in the concept of the soul period!

Yes, an excellent and perceptive analysis.

Do you have a link to the source? Could you post it?

Later: OK, I've googled it, and find it here. Scroll down the page to find the article:

Thanks for the information. So who is the author of the piece? Fjordman or Baron Bodissey?

Thanks for the clarification. It explains why there is so much discussion about what is happening in Norway. Fjordman must be really concerned and feeling hopeless about his country's future. It seems paralyzed and doomed to cultural and political suicide by political correctness.
