I suppose it depends on specificity.  If you're railing against the humble mom & pop fresh local produce market, then yeah that'd be pretty un-PC.  But criticizing medium to large-sized corporations is hardly un-PC.

Criticizing?  Sure.  Saying they should not exist and everything should be publicly owned is a pretty radical view.

To me, though, PC is more a refusal to recognise there are downsides to progress, if the term has any meaning at all.

Man that is an interesting definition.

I can hear your frown a continent away.  :lol:

I might actually agree I just had never thought of it like that before. :P

Around here, it's definetly un-PC.

I agree. Damn it.

It's radical, but as long as you don't flat-out use Marxist jargon you're not going to set off many PC alarms.

Straight Marxism, no chaser is not going to set off any PC alarms.

To me PC is all about protected classes and oppression by The (white) Man.  It includes things like African American instead of black, First Nations instead of Indian, Asian instead of Oriental.  It also includes things like the belief that discrimination is the only cause of differing outcomes, and the refusal to accept the possibility that different groups can have different strengths and weaknesses.  For example when when then Harvard president Lawrence whatshisname suggested that the paucity of female physicists might be explained by different brain wiring or whatever, the reaction against that was pure PC.

It is PC for Yi to say that since he isn't white.

How exactly do you define "PC".  In my opinion it's mostly a conservative victim complex.  The ideas that somehow liberals are preventing conservatives from speaking the truth.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The really funny part is neither of them ever do.

That's funny, Liberals thinks conservatives are preventing them from speaking the truth.

What's really funny is that conservatives have this enormous victim complex and like to think they don't.

That's un-PC to say.
