Authoritarian Tactics: Erasing History to Control the Future

Learn the core fascist playbook tactic of rewriting national history, and discover why recognizing this historical manipulation is crucial action for preserving democracy.

Short Summary

  • Fascist movements require creating a mythology based on an idealized, fictional past to justify current power grabs.
  • Key figures, like Donald Trump, attempt to control public understanding by censoring or rewriting inconvenient historical truths in institutions like museums.
  • Recognizing these historical parallels—like the slogan "Make America Great Again"—empowers citizens to fight centralized control over the national narrative.

This discussion highlights the link between controlling the past narrative and eliminating future paths toward justice and fairness. Ken Harbaugh speaks with Kris Goldsmith about how these tactics align with historical authoritarian regimes and what it means for American democracy today.

I'm an English/ British white 68 year old man . Never served. When I am showing my grandchildren around the British museum. Our 'bad' history is on full show. Our successes also. History has to be honest. So many don't understand this. Reference points will disappear. Important statements and ideology of the past, that form a basis of a humanity, will be gone. Honesty is required.
