Vladimir Bukovsky on Political Correctness:

ПОЛИТКОРРЕКТНОСТЬ ХУЖЕ ЛЕНИНИЗМА:
Был такой философ – Герберт Маркузе, ревизионист-марксист. Он был несогласен с Марксом в одной точке: Маркс считал революционным классом пролетариат (что очевидно не так), а Маркузе учил, что истинный революционный класс – разнообразные меньшинства. Патологию нужно объявить нормой, а норму – патологией. "Только тогда, - пишет Маркузе, - мы, наконец, разрушим буржуазное общество".
Активисты, которые якобы защищают права меньшинств – гомосексуальные и феминистические организации – на самом деле о меньшинствах не заботятся. Они, как в свое время Ленин – рабочих, используют их как инструмент давления и контроля над обществом, и приносят им больше вреда, чем всем остальным. В Америке жена моего друга 7 лет назад основала движение "Женщины Америки против феминизма". Начинала она с несколькими подругами, а теперь у их журнала тираж – 2 млн. Женщины начинают понимать, что феминизм им враждебен, что он разрушает их жизнь, что он не дает им выбирать то, что хочется им, а не то, что им навязывают разные активистки.
Короче говоря, мы имеем дело с серьезной идеологией, которая под вывеской политической корректности пытается разрушить наше общество. Чем меньшинствам хуже, тем лучше их лидерам: будет что защищать. Но их задача – уничтожить наше общество, и это – новая, злейшая версия марксизма.


Former Soviet Dissident Warns For EU Dictatorship:

...political correctness spreads and becomes an oppressive ideology...
..the original idea was to have what they called a convergency, whereby the Soviet Union would mellow somewhat and become more social-democratic, while Western Europe would become social-democratic and socialist. Then there will be convergency. The structures have to fit each other. This is why the structures of the European Union were initially built with the purpose of fitting into the Soviet structure. This is why they are so similar in functioning and in structure.
It is no accident that the European Parliament, for example, reminds me of the Supreme Soviet. It looks like the Supreme Soviet because it was designed like it. Similary, when you look at the European Commission it looks like the Politburo. I mean it does so exactly, except for the fact that the Commission now has 25 members and the Politburo usually had 13 or 15 members. Apart from that they are exactly the same, unaccountable to anyone, not directly elected by anyone at all. When you look into all this bizarre activity of the European Union with its 80,000 pages of regulations it looks like Gosplan. We used to have an organisation which was planning everything in the economy, to the last nut and bolt, five years in advance. Exactly the same thing is happening in the EU. When you look at the type of EU corruption, it is exactly the Soviet type of corruption, going from top to bottom rather than going from bottom to top.

Оба-на! Молодец Буковский. Где ты эти вещи берешь?

Дык! Его Ельцин рассматривал на роль ВП в 1991 году (потом, небось, жалел, что предпочёл Руцкого). Его ещё пытались выдвигать в президенты в 2008 году, но задавили административным ресурсом.

Oh please. Он же несёт полную пургу. Большинство его страшилок - враньё.

Well, he gives all sorts of examples most of which are plain lies. He says that theaters dont dare produce "Taming of the Shrew", "Otello" and "Merchant of Venice", which is total bs. He says that in the US managers can't be in the office alone with a female subordinate, which is bs. People who know something about hate speech laws say that he is totally ignorant about that as well. Besides, I don't think it is for him to say whether feminism helped women or not. The difference between the way women are treated here and in Russia are startling.

dunno about theater, but the rule "never close the office door during office hours" have been very strongly emphasized for UCLA TAs.
"People who know something about hate speech laws" does not sound more credible than Bukovsy.
he might be exaggerating, but he has a valid point.

Yeah, sure, there might be places that follow this rule, but he makes it sound as if it is a law throughout the land, which is bs.
People who have studied hate speech laws sound far more credible than Bukovsky because he just uses hearsay. His friend said that, his friend's wife started an organization, etc. If all his claims are exaggeration, I am not sure what his point is.
