Why Socialists Want to Destroy Our Memory of the Past
The Epoch Times ^ | 24-05-19 | JOSHUA PHILIPP

The Swedish government is weighing whether it should ban its historical imagery including rune script and Norse symbols, since they may be viewed as “hate” symbols. This isn’t an isolated incident, either. In the United States, historical statues and imagery across the country—from war memorials, to Civil War leaders, to paintings of George Washington—have been targeted for destruction by individuals who find them offensive. A new history is being shown to youth in the United States, and in many other countries, which criticizes their traditional cultures, curses their founding stories, and condemns their founders. They are being taught to hate where they come from, and to interpret history through the lens of socialism.

Destroy the Christian West, replace it with a brutally oppressive, global socialist state.

it’s long been my thought that we should be demanding that every monument, every building name, every street name, commemorating Martin Luther King has to be removed. Just begging and pleading for the libs to leave alone the monuments to our history is capitulating to their tyranny. It needs to be thrown back in terms that they can understand.

In bourgeois society, therefore, the past controls the present. In Communist society, the present controls the past.

— Manifesto, chapter 2
That is socialist dogma, to destroy the past and replace it with an unending present. Orwell did not originate the notion.

They’ll just call that “reactionary” and continue along in their sick ideology.

Leftists do this. If they disagree with something they invent a reason to exclude it, even the memory of it. Who else does this uncivilized nonsense?
muslims
communists
nazis
tribals
animals who put down piss, musk and scat to erase other animals’ piss, musk and scat
You talk about regressive thinking — leftists want to live in caves. They are atavistic.

Thanks very much for posting this. Mark Levin and others mention this destruction and that the moronic youngsters will be taught only the soaring imperial leaders of communism ever did anything.

And the students know the whites who undeservedly stole this country from the persons of color and gave nothing of value to the world should be exterminated.

What an educational system in our nation.

We must get young conservatives into the education system from top to bottom. It could be viewed almost like a military career where one sacrifices for the Flag. I don’t see any way out of this rewriting of history unless we get rid of those wanting to rewrite history.

It's part of the dialectical cycle. First you have to counteract everything that IS. Do you really think libs like homos? Atheists? Criminals? No, they don't. But those groups are the antitheses of the status quo. They're the tools the marxists use to break down the existing order, to call into question every value we've historically cherished.

THAT is why they have to destroy the past. To set us adrift on a featureless cultural sea so that they can provide the lighthouse.

Michelle Obama: During 2012 campaign said Barack had a lot of work to do to change our history and tradition.
The Democrats have taken up that goal and the el/hi and universities are helping to do that. If young folks have no idea of the sacrifices that people have made to make America the greatest Republic in the history of the world, then they will probably not want to sacrifice they safety or financial well being to preserve it.

Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thought crime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. -George Orwell, 1984
