    That’s not true. It’s used by politicians to draw the analogies between the current state of events and the past:

    • Trump is a fascist, so don’t vote him

    • Communism killed millions, so it’s unrealistic

    • The ruling class deserves to rule because insert country origin myth here.

    History is related to the current events insofar you want to play politics game and make others believe what you either believe or find profitable
