Orwell saw clearly how despots "have to" rewrite history.

As for Keeping i Simple, I defer to Bernie and AOC to spell out the root cause of most problems (the fascist playbook is just what the oligarchs use because they understand the appeal to hate, and are blinded by greed)

I have posted from time to time how IBM supplied the information tools to run concentration camps, and how Henry Ford got a medal from the Nazis for his treatise on the "International Jew"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_International_Jew

Scum, and the root cause.

Please consult the aforementioned leaders!!!
