Why do I all of a sudden have the Beatles playing in my head??? “Back in the USSR...”
Even the Soviet Union didn't go as far in trying to erase Pre-Communist history and culture in Russia as the PC Left has done (or is trying to do) in the US. The closest parallel that I can think of is the Cultural Revolution in China, where all pre-revolutionary Chinese culture was declared "reactionary" by Mao, or perhaps Pol Pot in Cambodia.
