2. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS DEFINED /
Max Forrester Eastman (Jan 4, 1883 – March 25, 1969) Max was American
1. who first believed in the communist utopian plan.
2. Who came to be devout anti-communist when he confronted the truth.
Max Eastman noted this: in forward of
book titled “The Whole of Their Lives” by
Benj. Gitlow : Moral civilization is in
peril. Those consecrating themselves to
Communism must not only cast out truth,
mercy, crime, and self abasement. They
must endorse such maxims as these: “We
do not believe in external principles of
morality---- Communist morality is
identical with the fight to strengthen
the “dictatorship” of the proletariat.”
We must be ready to employ trickery,
deceit, lawbreaking, withholding and
concealing truth. “We can and must
write---in a language which sows among
the masses hate, revulsion, scorn and the
like toward those of differing opinion.!
