4. Monuments, headstones, history etc

With all the calls to eradicate symbols, flags, pictures go thru cemetaries and remove 150 year old headstones and even dig up and remove remains. Rename military bases, revoke veteran status and numerous other ideas and suggestions to change history to shame an entire generation for fighting in a war a lot were drafted into while the actual slaveowners sat back giving orders. Does it seem a bit surreal in comparison to 1930s book burning, lenins erasure of history or Orwells vision of all control in what is seen and heard ?

Some of these calls are getting so ridiculous to the point the next thing will be heard is to sub contract ISIS since they are really good at removing historical sites and monuments.
