Political Spectrum (Left, Center, Right) — pen and ink drawing

Description

"Political correctness is the natural continuum from the party line. What we are seeing once again is a self-appointed group of vigilantes imposing their views on others. It is a heritage of communism, but they don't seem to see this." – Doris Lessing The Sunday Times, London (10 May 1992).

"Manipulations of opinion, insofar as they are inspired by well-defined interests, have limited goals; their effect, however, if they happen to touch upon an issue of authentic concern, is no longer subject to their control and may easily produce consequences they never foresaw or intended." Hannah Arendt, "Eichmann in Jerusalem" (1963), Postscript to the revised (1965) edition.
