First off, this sort of comment is pretty clearly against the political flamebait guidelines. Secondly, shaping historical narratives isn't a "left" or "right" thing, it's something humans have been doing as long as we have records. Literally the earliest histories we have are king lists constructed to legitimize rulers by association with famous predecessors and events. Those king lists constantly changed over time to reflect new ideologies and cultural shifts. And of course, you yourself are participating in this dialogue of historical memory with your comment. Notice how all the examples you've picked reflect modern discussions and not say, medieval destructions of Catholic statues in Scotland. This is more of a technical point that may not come across well, but as an archaeologist I would argue that these sorts of dynamic reshapings of historical memory are a fundamental part of human culture. A lot of what we do in historical research revolves around what these oddly selective historical memories reveal about past societies and what they considered important.
