POLITICAL CORRECTNESS FOR DUMMIES: THE THEOLOGY OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IN 52 EASY STEPS

Iconoclast ^ | Feb. 12, 2003 | Steve Plaut

Here is a list of the most important principles of PC theology. Try to remember them all so that you can be caring and open-hearted faster than you can say "race, gender, class" (the PC Trinity):

1. Affirmative action is not about lowering standards.

2. Affirmative action never has anything to do with quotas.

3. The transformation of Cuba from Latin America`s wealthiest country into its poorest does not mean that socialism does not work.

4. The transformation of Russia from the world`s largest food exporter before communism, to the world`s largest food importer during communism, does not show that socialism does not work.

5. Comparing East Germany (before unification) with West Germany, or Mao Tse Tung's China with Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore, or North Korea with South Korea, one cannot conclude that capitalism works

6. The fact that Marx was wrong about every empirically-testable hypothesis does not mean that Marxism is wrong.

7. The fact that Marxism ultimately caused a conservatively-estimated 100 million deaths in the 20th century does not mean that Marxism is bad or a failure.

8. Marxists care about people.

9. Conservatives hate all people and small animals.

10. The fact that socialized medicine does not work anywhere does not mean that it would not work in America.
