Creation of a false narrative is the most successful type of propaganda. The result is an unquestioned, deep seated general belief that is nevertheless a warped version of reality. Since these misdirections are projected on history and the field of geopolitics, the consequences are global and existential.
Ici Londres: Fascism and communism: sister ideologies.
Dan Hannan in a vlog in his series Ici Londres explains how after World War II a false narrative was constructed that conflated Socialism and Nazism, not as brother ideologies, but against each other as polar opposites, whereby the Socialists became the good guys and the Nazis the baddies. The common arch enemy, Liberty, Capitalism was left out of the equation. These things matter greatly, not just in a moral sense, but because it creates a false sense of reality and a lopsided world view. A similar misdirection is occurring today within a segment of Left-leaning Libertarianism that Brandon Smith of Alt-Market.com in a great article entitled "The Fall Of America Signals The Rise Of The New World Order" calls the 'liberty proponents'.
