Abstract
This paper analyzes the term „political correctness“ and its use or rather misuse in a modern, liberal world. In general, the political correctness (or politically correct, commonly abbreviated PC), is a term used to describe language, policies, or measures that are intended to avoid offense or disadvantage to members of particular groups in society. And in this sense, there is nothing controversial in PC. But lately, becoming mainstream politics, PC turned into a tool of oppression, danger for the diversity of opinions in a democracy, and thus a form of oppression of the ruling class. From this, it becomes obviously that our analysis will be based on the Marxist theoretical framework, or more precisely neo-Marxist. We will use Jacques Rancière`s understanding of the politics as a dissensus to show how PC suffocates the political itself and the very essence of politics. We will also rely on logical analysis to demonstrate some of the inherent inconsistency of political correctness. And finally, we will try to show political correctness as a dystopian, regressive concept that preserves the existing political order.
