I read a quote this morning that said something to the effect of people who have no history will likewise have no future.  I think that is worth pondering on.

In 1984 the world described by Orwell is one in which history is altered to fit the needs of the Party.  In the PRC and Albania and every other state which had a Cultural Revolution, the same thing happened.  Indeed in the USSR history was purposely destroyed or perverted to establish an ersatz soviet culture and history.

The destruction of historical monuments can only end badly.
