Marxist Erasure of American History

From Rome's Caesars to Karl Marx to the Russian Revolution to Adolf Hitler to Mao's Communist China to the writings of George Orwell, the aim to erase the history of tyranny's predecessors is a known tactic that has always been a primary tool on the belt of destroying liberty. The aim is to destroy history so that even thoughts about the old system are washed away. Nothing that opposes the new order of totalitarianism is allowed to remain in existence.  It used to be that knowledge was power.  Now, they want you to believe that a lack of knowledge is what's best for the subjects who reside in the more fair and just kingdom of socialist utopia.

The toppling of historical statues by groups like Black Lives Matter and Antifa because the historical figure owned slaves or was somehow a part of America's "White Supremacy" past is nothing new when it comes to the style of attack used by tyrants.  Street names are being changed, buildings are being renamed.  The progressive left is doing everything it can to erase America's founding, and any greatness or alleged flaws that may have existed between then and now.

Those who claim that we must topple statues and remove names from institutions of "slave owners" and other historical figures who are offensive to the sensibilities of today's progressive American in order to stop the hurting these historical figures somehow cause so that some kind of healing beyond "White Supremacy" may begin are not telling the whole truth.  Class warfare is only a part of the equation.  What we are experiencing is only the beginning, the tip of the iceberg.  This is an ideological cleansing, the kind of class warfare that in the past has led to the genocide of groups of people.  Instead of Jews, or Christians, or members of some enemy tribe, the targets are anyone who doesn't comply with the rising tide of Anti-Americanism.  The people who are being prepared for removal are those who dare to disagree with the latest version of an age old tyranny.  Your whiteness is forgiven if you are willing to fly the new flag of Marxism.  Your old allegiances are forgotten if you will only kneel at the alter of Wokeness.  Do and say as you are expected to by the new leaders of the new tyranny of fairness and social justice and you might be able to save your job, your livelihood, and your future.  Defy the new masters of ideological bondage and you will be destroyed, somehow, someway.

The history being removed is not just anything that has to do with America's past participation in slavery.  Even supposed heroes of progressive advancement are being targeted.  Woodrow Wilson.  Teddy and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.  Alexander Hamilton.  It has nothing to do with racism or our history of having slavery on our shores.  Benjamin Franklin, the founder and president of the first anti-slavery organization in this country was targeted before the latest wave of insanity.  Andrew Jackson, the father of the Democratic Party, is also on the hangman's list.  Be not fooled, the entirety of America's history before the rise of the Cancel Culture has its head on the executioner's block.

A reign of terror is on the horizon.  Those who are enemies of the new woke revolution will pay with their lives.  And the real shame of it all is that during this political feeding frenzy the perpetrators don't see that they are exactly the same as those who they claim to hate from the past.  They are no different than the French Revolution executioners, the murderous Romans, the slaveholders, the Bolsheviks, the NAZIs, nor the Muslim terrorists who kill in the name of a bloodthirsty religion.

Even worse is some of them do know they are no different, but their religion of progressive wokeness is more important than the difference between good and evil, because in their minds they have been brainwashed to believe their way is the only way, and the ends justify the means.
