'''Herbert Marcuse''' (1898-1979), a member of the [[Frankfurt School]], was a major figure in the [[New Left]] movement of the 1960s. He was also a major figure in the development of [[Cultural Marxism]], more commonly known as [[political correctness]]. Marcuse invented the concept of “[[partisan tolerance]],” that is, [[tolerance]] for leftist ideas and [[intolerance]] of all others. Partisan tolerance has evolved into [[political correctness]], [[censorship]], and curtailment of [[Free Speech]] [[1st Amendment]] rights.

==Identity politics==
According to Andrew Breitbart, unable to find a disgruntled proletariat, Marcuse found another dividing line that could be exploited to exacerbate social strife and dismantle societal structures—namely “victim groups,” the bedrock of [[identity politics]]. His primary thesis was that revolutionaries such as university students, ghetto blacks, the alienated, the asocial, and the [[third world]] could take the place of the [[proletariat]].

His infamous essay ''Repressive Tolerance'' is the definitive blueprint for the "[[political correctness]]" movement.
