Amazing, isn't it, how little history people know.
Like, calling the anti-Trump protesters "fascists" and "brownshirts", when they are obviously the Weimar America equivalent of the Red Front.
The brownshirts come next.
How we interpret history also changes the future.
E.g., Adm. Mahan’s 1890 book on the history of sea power led directly to the naval arms race between Germany and England that led to WW1.
