Yes, that's a classic Marxist strategy, Chairman Mao Zedong, used it in his bloody "Cultural Revolution" in China during the 1960s. He ordered the Red Guard to set about destroying "The Four Olds": Old Ideas; Old Culture; Old Customs and Old Habits. His reasoning was that: "he who controls the past determines the future".
You see it happening in America today with the hard Left-progressive Democrat Junta. Remember how they toppled/vandalised statues of the Founders, tried to bring down a large bronze of President Andrew Jackson on horseback (which sent Trump "ballistic", disfigured monuments/memorals to past national heros, renamed schools that had been named in honour of individuals like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, removed the stone statue of Robert E. Lee from where it stood on public display and hid it away in a dark corner of some obscure museum.
IMO, the most disgusting example of the trashing, denigration and "Woke" perversion of American history was the "1619 Project" written by the Black racist Nicole Hannah-Jones. This book was a revision history of the American Foung that was swifty debunked by erudite and highly respected US academic historians as a ridiculous pack of lies. Nicole - Jones that America was "founded" in slavery in 1619, not in 1776. The revolution, she asserted was not fought to win American independence for the colonists, but rather to defend the future of the institution of Black slavery in America. This, of course was an outrageous and bizarre lie. Despite the "1619 Project being exposed as garbage history that was nothing more than a blot of woke, racist shit; it earned Hannah-Jones the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for composition. It was converted into a teaching/learning resource by the New York Times and tens of thousands of copies were issued to schools for use in classroom instruction.
When asked, in 2019, by the editor of the NYT (a disreputable leftist/Democrat rag) what her motivation was for writing the "1619 Project", Nicole Hannah-Jones - who had publicly described White Americans as (quote): "blood-suckers" and "blue-eyed devils" - said her goal was to secure "reparations" (i.e. cash reparations for Black Americans in respect of the practice of slavery in America during the 18th and 19th century.
Was Hannah-Jones stripped of her Pulitzer Prize ? NO. What she ever properly exposed as the race-hustling charlatan she was (and is). NO. Was the NYT"} ever held accountable for publishing her risible faux history and disseminating countless thousands of copies of it to American schools? No. Has the "1619 Projected" now been withdrawn from these schools? NO. Did the Biden Junta warmly endorse the "1619 Project" despite knowing that it was a worthless pack of anti-White, racist lies? YES.
Enough said, I think.
