    I try to not downvote top level posts without explanation so let me explain:

    Revisionists can never be based. Revisionism is a tool of the right wing. It has only ever acted in support of fascism because fascism is the political position that an authoritarian government controls the past, and who controls the past controls the future. Leftism meanwhile is driven by a drive for truth, justice, and peace.

    I didn’t find this to be a left-wing meme. I found it to be right wing propaganda. We can have a longer discussion of what the aim of the originator of this was, but I want to keep it brief and on topic.

      This is literally a Marxist shitpost? I don’t get what you mean. /gen

      You seem to be talking about historical revisionism, conflating it with ideological revisionism.

      Neither do I understand your definition of fascism. I wouldn’t say that historical revisionism equals fascism, it’s extremely common.
