Description: The suddenness with which poitical correctness entered the public domain in the period between 1989-1991, and the ensuing arguments about the legitimacy of Western culture whcih lasted until well into the mid 1990s, implies that political correctness is a very recent phenomenon, the origins of which are to be found in certain intellectual trends of the late twentieth century. The author, however, argues that political correctness was established as an ideaological criterion of Marxism-Leninism.
