The saying makes the assumption that people don't want to repeat history, which may have been true a few decades ago. A great many people today actively want to repeat history, mistakes and all. They think then was better than now.
- lukan 2y ago"actively want to repeat history, mistakes and all. They think then was better than now" Well, you said it, they think it was better, so they don't want to repeat misstakes, but have a different perception of that time. Or they just refuse to acknowledge anything that does not fit their ancient Utopia. No matter how bloody it was. Personally I am strongly drawn to neolithic times. But I know that so little is known, that all the good I think I see, might be projection into a void. And the actual history something very different (human sacrifices, slavery, ..) But yeah, when people nowdays talk about reviving fascism in a new light, I think they activly supress reality as we do have good information about this recent time and what it means going that way.
