Political Correctness Origin as a Marxist Weapon against Western Culture

I have always been averse to the Political Correctness trend I have seen grow over the last half century, feeling that although some of the sentiments seem founded in sympathy and fairness, there is cause for alarm and something to fear in the future of this phenomenon. I first detected it in its infancy(1977), long before the term was coined, in my first year reading Political Science at the University of the Witwatersrand and the dis-ease has never left me.

How did it come about that western society have to watch what they say rather than stand on the premise of 'freedom of speech' ? How did Political Correctness displace the US Constitution and why.

I am sure most would be surprised to learn how this began as a means of dismantling western culture in the interest of Marxist objectives.

Ezra Taft Benson, then Secretary of Agriculture under President Eisenhower reported on a face to face discussion with his counterpart Mr Khrushchev on the latter's visit to the US saying that after Mr Khrushchev assured him that his grandchildren would be living under communist law, he said :

‘You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you’ll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won’t have to fight you. We’ll so weaken your economy until you’ll fall like overripe fruit into our hands.'”

That's right, all the minority protection organizations you may know of, which are responsible for disciplinary action against individuals who voice their beliefs, where they are in conflict with 'politically correct' thinking have been carefully nurtured by a movement aimed at the destruction of western culture.

These movements are at their most advanced in a European country where for example, parents are charged with teaching their children gender specific principles for determining their children's dress, as in a dress rather than pants, and most common in US institutions of learning where politically incorrect behavior is punished and affects a student's future studies. This model is the objective for society at large.

These are totalitarian practices we have seen in Marxist countries and are mind control tactics designed to world congruent with the ideas of the few over the masses.

How is the enforcement of politically correct principles through law different from the application of Sharia Law by Muslim extremists or Christian doctrine by Catholicism. Militant Atheism is every bit as evil as their enemies.

Bill Lind gave a talk recently on the subject of Political Correctness and I have only included small excerpts to demonstrate his eloquence and introduce this critically important subject to whom ever may see it. The full talk is referenced below.

To quote Bill Lind :

If we look at it analytically, if we look at it historically, we quickly find out exactly what it is. Political Correctness is cultural Marxism. It is Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms. It is an effort that goes back not to the 1960s and the hippies and the peace movement, but back to World War I. If we compare the basic tenets of Political Correctness with classical Marxism the parallels are very obvious.

First of all, both are totalitarian ideologies. The totalitarian nature of Political Correctness is revealed nowhere more clearly than on college campuses, many of which at this point are small ivy covered North Koreas, where the student or faculty member who dares to cross any of the lines set up by the gender feminist or the homosexual-rights activists, or the local black or Hispanic group, or any of the other sainted “victims” groups that PC revolves around, quickly find themselves in judicial trouble. Within the small legal system of the college, they face formal charges – some star-chamber proceeding – and punishment. That is a little look into the future that Political Correctness intends for the nation as a whole.

Indeed, all ideologies are totalitarian because the essence of an ideology (I would note that conservatism correctly understood is not an ideology) is to take some philosophy and say on the basis of this philosophy certain things must be true – such as the whole of the history of our culture is the history of the oppression of women. Since reality contradicts that, reality must be forbidden. It must become forbidden to acknowledge the reality of our history. People must be forced to live a lie, and since people are naturally reluctant to live a lie, they naturally use their ears and eyes to look out and say, “Wait a minute. This isn’t true. I can see it isn’t true,” the power of the state must be put behind the demand to live a lie. That is why ideology invariably creates a totalitarian state.

Bill goes on to give five comparisons which identify 'Political Correctness' as Cultural Marxism and warns that the objectives of dividing and disabling western society are being achieved at an ever increasing rate.

Bill provides insight into the origin of political correctness as World War One Marxist idealists who took steps to overcome the apathy which prevented the growth of Marxism and which successfully established institutions and strategies which would grow into and effective weapon against its foremost enemy.

To quote further from an address by Bill Lind :

The stuff we’ve been hearing about this morning – the radical feminism, the women’s studies departments, the gay studies departments, the black studies departments – all these things are branches of Critical Theory. What the Frankfurt School essentially does is draw on both Marx and Freud in the 1930s to create this theory called Critical Theory. The term is ingenious because you’re tempted to ask, “What is the theory?” The theory is to criticize. The theory is that the way to bring down Western culture and the capitalist order is not to lay down an alternative. They explicitly refuse to do that. They say it can’t be done, that we can’t imagine what a free society would look like (their definition of a free society). As long as we’re living under repression – the repression of a capitalistic economic order which creates (in their theory) the Freudian condition, the conditions that Freud describes in individuals of repression – we can’t even imagine it. What Critical Theory is about is simply criticizing. It calls for the most destructive criticism possible, in every possible way, designed to bring the current order down. And, of course, when we hear from the feminists that the whole of society is just out to get women and so on, that kind of criticism is a derivative of Critical Theory. It is all coming from the 1930s, not the 1960s.

The objectives of these diabolical thinkers who have planned and changed the course of thought include militant atheism(bent on eliminating religion), sexual liberation, environmentalism, sexism, racism, and a society of “polymorphous perversity", which will facilitate every man's own will and effectively result in failure due to a total lack of unity. Unity is what allows any and all organizations to function and without it nothing works, no biological organism or group of organisms, no military force, no family, no religion and no government.

The best way to cause a civilization to implode is to espouse those things which destroy unity.

I find that the more people read the propaganda distributed by mainstream media and social media at large, the more support is garnered for the very forces which will destroy us. While the truth is out there, it is hard to come by and is in line with the age-old tenets our civilization was built on, which are, heterosexual, parenthood, freedom of speech and religion, the right to bear arms and to defend one's family and society and to foster good conduct in all.

Here is Bill Lind's concluding statement :

In conclusion, America today is in the throes of the greatest and direst transformation in its history. We are becoming an ideological state, a country with an official state ideology enforced by the power of the state. In “hate crimes” we now have people serving jail sentences for political thoughts. And the Congress is now moving to expand that category ever further. Affirmative action is part of it. The terror against anyone who dissents from Political Correctness on campus is part of it. It’s exactly what we have seen happen in Russia, in Germany, in Italy, in China, and now it’s coming here. And we don’t recognize it because we call it Political Correctness and laugh it off. My message today is that it’s not funny, it’s here, it’s growing and it will eventually destroy, as it seeks to destroy, everything that we have ever defined as our freedom and our culture.
