| I almost didn’t reply to your post since its appears you are attempting to equate treating people with a modicum of respect (not using racist or pejorative terms) as state mandated “correct thinking” which is not equivalent to being PC. Further implying that being PC will lead to a communist state is just silly - just ask the Tibetans if they think the Chinese are PC. In the 21st century there is no place for state racism as practiced in South Africa under Apartheid. In short there is no intellectual justification for racism. A bigger danger to the US and developing nations is a Plutocracy where guys like Bernard Madoff appear to be above the law. From Wikipedia: Political correctness: term applied to language, ideas, policies, or behavior seen as seeking to minimize offense to gender, racial, cultural, disabled, aged or other identity groups. Marxism / Communism (is a socioeconomic structure and political ideology that promotes the establishment of an egalitarian, classless, stateless society based on common ownership and control of the means of production and property in general) State racism: A type of institutional racism promoted by a government Plutocracy is rule by the wealthy, or power provided by wealth.
