“History is written by the victors”, agree, that is the important part here, because in retrospect we can see all the atrocities of the wars and regimes, but those are not fully controlled and are sparked by the chaos of sudden change of direction of the huge states and millions of people, of which many are sick to the bone, but then there is no stopping of it and each new atrocity is just one more turn of the screw on a way to the previously intended goal. There is no way back. After all the dust settle, the victors forbid, decentivize and socially discourage a proper review of all the acts. Even less teaching the complexity in schools, because the ambiguity of events (not values) is undesirable for any new regime due to a limited time for establishing itself in a matter of one or two decades. It’s not black&white except of killing and stealing. And I agree that all states are guilty of the latter one. Who doesn’t fight wars? Owners of the mines and real estates that are being protected by the citizens who didn’t opt-in but been born-in.
