Abstract

Starting with the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century, the manipulation of society and people through language has been a constant feature of political regimes which have no more than the appearance of democracy. This article offers a reflection on the totalitarian transversality that underlies certain political impositions on the use of what is wrongly named inclusive language; demands through which certain ideologies in practice deny freedom
of expression through their imposition of the politically correct.
