Political correctness is a seemingly ridiculous, juvenile attempt to distort or prohibit language by euphemisms or direct censorship. We brush it off with a laugh, but all the while retaining the ‘correct’ word and avoiding the incorrect phrase or taboo subject… because we are afraid ‘someone’ might hear us. PC is no laughing matter; it is a tenacious, manipulative, subversive force to demean, suffocate and eventually destroy Western civilisation as we know it. It did not evolve spontaneously, but was planned and orchestrated by Marxist entrepreneurs in Germany in the 1920s and 30s.

As the intended working class revolution against European bourgeois, capitalist society failed to materialise after the 1917 Russian revolution, the Marxist élite, notable among them Hungarian George Lukacs and Italian Antonio Gramsci, conceived a new strategy to replace direct political action: a cultural revolution to fragment, undermine and corrupt the historic pillars and traditional moral values of a once stable and cohesive society that would eventually crumble from within.

To quote Lukacs: ‘A world-wide overturning of values cannot take place without the annihilation of the old values and the creation of new ones.’

‘Cultural Marxism’ is an attack from the inside on traditional institutions through denigration and destructive criticism – known as Critical Theory; political correctness is its handmaiden, eroding free thought and free speech. Partnering with Freudian psychoanalysis, Critical Theory is simply about criticising, using nihilism as a weapon of destruction.

In 1923 Lukacs established the Institution for Marxism in Frankfurt, an overtly provocative name later changed to The Frankfurt School . Although relocated to the USA for a time during WW2, where many infiltrated the universities, the Frankfurt School remained the new strategy’s driving force.

Under cover of benignly comforting ‘good intentions’ – inclusiveness and equality, compassion, respect and tolerance, PC has counted on the gullible naivety of many, but more importantly, on the Marxist manipulators within government, the bureaucracy, the so-called intelligentsia and an international coterie of movers and shakers.

Destroying the patriarchal family structure is paramount, while criticism of authority, traditions, patriotism, morality and all the bulwarks of a stable society are lined up to be demeaned and destroyed. As we tiptoe round the sensitivities of Islamism and multiculturalism, Christianity, alone among religions, is ridiculed and attacked. A Catholic Bishop is condemned for his effrontery to endorse married relationships, while PC turns ‘Happy Christmas’ into ‘Happy holidays’.

As traditional institutions – the RSL or CWA, are demeaned and stereotyped, historical truths are manipulated by linguistic fascism: Australia was not ‘discovered’ but ‘invaded’, references to people must be gender neutral, ably supported by anti-discrimination laws. Fireman and policeman are a no-no; a female dwarf can now be a firey or lead an army patrol.   ‘Mother’s Day’ is in danger as ‘parents’ only are allowed.

A letter-to-the-editor published in the late 1970s and unthinkable today, shows how far PC has smothered our robust, self-mocking sense of humour. It reads: ‘I am a black homosexual , one-armed, with a speech impediment and was knocked back for a job in Women’s Corsets. I’m taking my case to the anti discrimination commissioner.’

Today, it’s taken one of its own, Australian of the Year General Morrison, to undermine traditional respect for our armed forces with his criticism of the prevailing military ‘culture’. Echoed by a shrill chorus of military commanders, Air Chief Marshall Binskin pontificates that ‘the culture of inclusion’ (women and Muslims) is the only way to bring about ‘much needed cultural change’.

The sexual element and Sexual Liberation, an obsession of Frankfurt School activist Herbert Marcuse, have been pivotal in sowing seeds of divisiveness and social chaos. ‘If it feels good, do it’ was his mantra and his agenda of ‘polymorphous perversity’ became the blueprint for our Education Department’s pernicious program, Safe Schools, introducing children to ‘sexual diversity’ in all its forms and turning biological facts on their heads.

As political leaders genuflect to PC, the extensive and expensive federally-funded ‘Domestic Violence’ campaign is targeting the ‘dominance’ of society’s violent brute, the white, heterosexual male, and Building Respectful Relationships is the latest sexually-explicit program for schools to help it along. Extraordinary activities masquerade as ‘education’: girls ‘role play’ as drunk and promiscuous and write lascivious advertisements for a ‘perfect partner’, with the strange assumption that these will ensure that there’s no domestic violence in their home when they grow up.

The manufactured hate against male dominance extends to environmentalism. Western nations’ dominance over nature has resulted in the systematic and conscious destruction of the pristine natural environment. The rural community (pejoratively referred to as ‘rednecks’) is in their sights as farmers and graziers, just trying to make a living, must fight off accusations they are degrading land and destroying fragile,’endangered’ species.

Meanwhile, the same-sex marriage push is particularly divisive, brazenly aggressive and expertly managed; the rainbow flag has been hoisted with hardly a dissenting murmur and is being waved furiously from kindergartens to board rooms.

Corporations unwilling to ‘sign up’ to the campaign are blackmailed, as Qantas’ Alan Joyce, with fascist-like authoritarianism, decrees: ‘If you’re unhappy with the campaign, you won’t be able to bank and you won’t be able to fly anywhere.’ Cowed into submission, captains of industry do cartwheels to oblige.

As civilised conventions and traditional institutions are questioned, then discarded, we are all pawns in the theatre of the absurd. In a deliberately created Age of Chaos, critical theory and PC are infiltrating and distorting every strand of society in the relentless Marxist mission to remake society in their own image.

And they’re doing a thumpingly good job. Exactly as was intended.
