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....

From a bunch of ultra-liberal Americans who take evrything waaaayyy to seriously and get offended by everything. Just about any other country in the world would laugh at our ridiculous custom of going out of our way to not upset anyone. Our country is too busy focusing on what a bunch of irrelevant people say that might be offensive rather than focus on any real, important issues. There are people who honest-to-god are upset about the University of Notre Dame being the Fighting Irish. Ohhh they are saying all Irish people do is fight. Come on, get a LIFE! If you have time to ***** and moan about stuff like this, you need a hobby!

Political correctness has always been part of human society, it is just a new name for taboos. Our current set for forbidden words and topics are partly from our religious founders, partly left over from the Victorians sexual hang ups, partly from WWII when ethnic slurs and jokes fell out of favor, and partly from the civil rights movement in the 60's and women's moment of the 70's. The Victorian influence is fading in importance and the religious and women's movement ones are being actively contested. I do not know who came up with the label political correctness but I first heard it about 30 years ago.
If you really believe it is a new phenomenon read

velveeta is on point. It actually comes from Communist party members in Soviet Union duirng Lenin and Stalin, though. Marx never once mentions "political correctness".
