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.
Ones 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.

Political Correctness is intellectual AIDS. Everything it touches it sickens and eventually kills.

Bill Lind wrote a great essay on The Origins Of Political Correctness. It’s Cultural Marxism. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2031059/posts

This nails it. I am an appreciative reader of Theodore Dayrumple's work, but I have not seen this before. Source?
