Capital: A Critique of Political Economy

A book written by Karl Marx and published in 1867 that deals with the development of capitalism and its problems. It is generally highly admired for its foresight of how capitalism would eventually develop over time.

Note that Capital: A Critique of Political Economy is purely criticizing the status quo, predicting its development and pinpointing its problems, while the Manifesto of the Communist Party (or simply Communist Manifesto) offers possible solutions to these problems.
'Hey, I just read Capital: A Critique of Political Economy by Karl Marx. And I now believe that the only way to create a fair society is by overthrowing the bourgeoisie.'

Reality Politics

When political hopefuls run their campaign as if they were starring on a reality TV show. Extremist remarks made by "celebriticians" (celebrity politicians) for the sole purpose of getting free publicity and increasing their ratings. A hybrid of reality TV and politics.
Wow... Donald Trump is engaging in some serious reality politics!

Can't wait to see if Donald Trump yells, "You're fired!" at Obama when he takes his Oath of Office next year... That would make for some great reality politics!

Political correctness

A way of censorship and judgment by following what the society establishs it's right or wrong, without giving the events, the ideas or the decisions that are being judged the depth it deserves. Political correctness is most of the time related with left ideologies, but it depends on the country and the subject. In America for example, people use to care more about black people than women, ergo, most of the time, political correctness with black people issues more than women issues. In the other hand, in Mexico people use to care more about women issues than indian community issues, so political correctness is applied to women issues and not to indian issues. Also, an overlooked aspect of political correctness is that, in some cases, it's applied in a way that people don't realise about it, given to the fact that political correctness is only associeted with left ideologies
“Mary got laid with more than 30 men and she's only 23, what a whore!” this is an example of political correctness by conservative people.

“In this new book by Marty R. Jefferson, three black men steal a liquor store and kill the owner, it's such an offense to black people by using such a racist stereotype.” this is an example of political correctness by liber people.

“Heard Liv is a feminist now, so sad, now she spents her days yelling nonsense at rallies, she's only looking for a good fuck.”

“Have you seen Joker already? My god what an awful movie, the main character, Arthur, is such an incel!”
