I don’t know how “capitalism will always exist at some scale” when capitalism is at most only a few centuries old and did not, in fact, exist for most of human history at any scale.

this is why I urinate in all corners of the house, at least once a week to prove my dominance over my kingdom .

Some of us refuse to remember — hence the attack on history programs in schools, on libraries, on academics. This attack is about establishing self-serving historical myths as "truth" and refusing to allow actual historical fact and truth to have a hearing. It is about who gets to control what counts as historical fact and truth, and to impose their myths on all the rest of us in a pluralistic democracy.

"The nation can never fully achieve its ethical and political aspirations while living with falsehoods about its past, Jones suggests; though American history may constitute a challenging battleground, it provides essential moral guidance."

Jones insists, then, that without remembrance — without knowing and honestly facing our history — there can be no healing for the wounds that deeply weaken our democracy.
