There is a hard ideological difference between the so-called left and right wings. The left uses political correctness to get its agenda across. The right uses a case-by-case approach when it comes to making policies. Its policies are not based on any social victimisation theory, social "equality" theory or social "justice" theory. The origins of political correctness came from World War I when Marx predicted that all the workers of the world would unite and destroy capitalism - to get rid of all oppression. Marxism was divorced from economic theory, and become married to culture, hence the birth of cultural Marxism. Critical theories in all areas such as feminism, queer theory and postmodernism flowed from cultural Marxism - the need to help the oppressed. However, whether these critical theories are really about helping the oppressed or just pretending to be oppressed is a different matter. Marxism has been abused by certain minorities to yell out "victim" and blame the dominant groups.
