What's wrong with marxism? It's just assumed to be a bogey man. Political correctness doesn't have anything to do with it. This is some Jordan Peterson level ignorance. Here's a better video https://invidio.us/watch?v=M-m_7G31yh4

Under Communism man exploits man; under capitlism, the opposite is true.

I am sure of that. {BTW, my comment "Under Communism..." was a popular joke in Russia before 1991. Don't get me wrong — I think capitalism is the worst form of government, except for all the others.}

The video explains pretty well how political correctness is linked to marxism and the communists of Weimar Germany and Red Terror Hungary.

The Frankfurt school is just Marxism in discourse. That's why they all went to live in the US and political correctness started there. Instead of heading first against economic power, the Frankfurt school felt more comfortable to head against power as discourse. The US capitalist elites were happy to entertain such useless blabbers who were explaining that what mattered was not class struggle, but just the discourse on class struggle. Hence instead of strikes, and better salary, what matter was how to talk about strikes and salary... No wonder the US liberal elites welcomed those guys who were all talk and no walk.

It literally does nothing to show how they are linked. It claims that these theorists created it and brought it to America. It does not quote or show anything any of them said or wrote to show that they are the origin of PC. All it does is claim. Having read some of these theorists myself I can tell you that they have nothing to do with political correctness. The video is a fraud trying to scapegoat their psyop to a force capable of overthrowing them (capitalists).
