That was also a very much wise warning for any Soviet appartchik in the days of Stalin and later. The problem each faced was that what he or she said today that was entirely PC might suddenly be declared, ex post facto, to have been a thought crime that could get him or her sent to the Gulag and murdered. Hence, the wise advice from a smart, humane boss to each new appartchik was to say nothing, if at all possible. Now, thanks to the "progressives," the same advice applies to all too many places here in the US.
