Rewriting history. The ChiComs did it. The Soviets did it. Castro did it. Chavez did it. Communists in league with the Democratic Party are doing it today in classrooms with the bogus 1619 project, tearing down statues, comparing voter ID and signature verification to Jim Crow and people being lynched.
Well Emperor Palpatine did it as well in great details as we have learned from some great Star Wars books which really ring a bell today.
