The political correctness debate is a game of mutual vetoes. The
right uses the concept to group or agglutinate in it everything
that bothers it about the left. He is usually a straw man that
he uses to economize. The left, for its part, lumps all critics
of political correctness into a single profile: the straight
white man who thinks his world is falling apart. He's not so
much a straw man, but a caricature at times. There are those
characters that the left criticizes, and they generally use the

loosely. But there are
also legitimately outraged individuals, anxious about cultural
and social changes, who feel they are not being heard. Their way
of expressing that anxiety is by criticizing political
correctness, which they consider to be the consensus of the
powerful and elitist. There are also environments (in
contemporary activism, in some Anglo-Saxon universities and
especially in social networks) where political correctness is
not a straw man but a real and sometimes suffocating orthodoxy.
The fact that the concept has been instrumentalized and
manipulated does not mean that it often does not point to real
situations.
The concept "political correctness" began to be used mainly in
the 1980s to point out and criticize attitudes on the left that,
for some, were reminiscent of the single Soviet thought.
Political correctness would be a way of following the Party line
with a capital letter, of complying with communist orthodoxy. As
Lessing writes, “political correctness is the natural
continuation of the party line. What we are seeing again is a
group of self-proclaimed vigilantes imposing their visions on
others. It is a legacy of communism, but they don't seem to see
it."eleven.

The origins of the concept, and where the right got it from to
criticize the left, are in communism and Marxism-Leninism. In
The Captive Mind, the Polish poet and essayist Czeslaw Milosz
tells the story of several Polish intellectuals and their lives
under the Soviet regime. One of them is the Ukrainian poet and
journalist Tadeusz Borowski, who survived Auschwitz and Dachau
and in the post-world war, after the communists came to power in
Poland, adopted Marxism and the Soviet realist style with
fervor. Borowski wrote about his experience in the concentration
camps but did so in a way that was “politically incorrect” for
communist orthodoxy. His narrative is austere and nihilistic,
and too subjective. Milosz says his mistake was that he
"described the concentration camp as he had personally seen it,
not as he was supposed to have seen it."12, that is, as the
Party wished. If he had been politically correct, he would have
narrated epic examples of proletarian solidarity and brotherhood
among communist militants. Instead, he starkly described the
lack of humanity and solidarity that existed in the camps.
