Political correctness

By Jerry Pournelle

Political correctness is tyranny with manners. I like that.

    Let me point out a curious phenomenon. From before Marx began to publish to the death of Hitler, more than 100 years, everyone who advocated genocide called himself a socialist. EVERYONE. There are no known exceptions. Since1945 we have had some tribal genocides and ethnic cleansing, but even so, the mass murderers have all been elitist socialists.  All of them.

    Saving the world gives one the right to kill those who oppose. My strength is as the strength of ten because my cause is pure.

    Now contemplate political correctness.
