The more I read history the more I realize how little is actually new. Our political struggles today involve the same forces, even the same language, as in the 1930s etc. The present is often so arrogant towards the past when in fact there is usually so much to learn from it.

This is what happens when people forget/ignore history and surrender to circular logic. They repeat the lessons from the past, because the lessons weren't learned. Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results.
