	Encyclopedia: Historical revisionism (political)
		Historical revisionism is often a legitimate effort in which historians seek to broaden the awareness of certain historical events by re-examining conventional wisdom.
		When historical revisionism becomes part of the agenda of a political institution, the partisan message is communicated as propaganda and all dissenting opinion is prohibited by the practice of legalized censorship.
		The term historical revisionism is also, however, used to describe propagandists who wish to reexamine history in light of their own ideological position, and, generally, rewrite past events so as to further the causes they support.

	Historical revisionism (political) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Europe, "historical revisionism" more often than not refers to denial of the crimes commited by the Nazi state between 1933 and 1945 (the Holocaust, but also the Roma genocide (Porajmos), the murder of gay people and the assassination and sterilization of disabled people).
		As such it can be argued that this is an inverse of the usual political historical revisionists position because those who wish to replace the long held established view of history in Japan textbooks with alternative information which better reflects the widely accepted international view of history are the historical revisionists.
		Serdar Argic is a spam-attempt on usenet to deny the Armenian genocide.

		The rise of this school, with the obvious blessing of the 26 County government and political establishments, is symptomatic of the concerns felt by that establishment with regard to the problem of North-East Ulster.
		To claim the historical validity of the cause of Irish nationalism, that is the independence struggle, is also to accept its validity in that part of Ireland which has been forcibly severed from the rest of the country.
		The 26-county political establishment grew concerned; they feared for their own power-base, being rocked from the North, and so they felt that they had to reject the very traditions out of which the 26 county state was born.

		In considering Fujioka’s argument, one must determine the justifiability of the alteration of historical texts and the transmission to students of a biased education as means of fortifying Japanese nationalism.
		Challenging the constitutionality of historical censorship in textbooks, Ienaga explained that the exclusion of certain events in texts was a “violation of the freedom of expression and scholarship and contrary to the Fundamental Law of Education,” for it was a “violation of the principle safeguarding education from no improper control.”
		The concern is that inclusion of events such as the Nanjing Massacre or the acts of Unit 731 would sully this “privileged” historical nature, and lead to confusion in regard to the depiction of the national identity.

	The Case for Revisionism (and Against A Priori History) - Mises Institute
		Revisionism is an historical discipline made necessary by the fact that all States are governed by a ruling class that is a minority of the population, and which subsists as a parasitic and exploitative burden upon the rest of society.
		The noble task of Revisionism is to de-bamboozle: to penetrate the fog of lies and deception of the State and its Court Intellectuals, and to present to the public the true history of the motivation, the nature, and the consequences of State activity.
		Revisionism therefore reveals to us in all its starkness that the State Enemy in the United States is purely at home and not abroad.

		It was the early flowering of holocaust revisionism, in fact, that set the stage for the birth of the IHR and, ultimately, the advent of the Mermelstein affair.
		Revisionism now not only had an audience which was growing in number, but it had more and more full-fledged historians and other academics who were willing to put their reputations on the public chopping block.
		By the time that historical revisionism became a part of the historical debate (perhaps largely, ironically, because of publicity arising from the Mermelstein Affair, which we will examine in these pages), Establishment historians were becoming obsessed with combating revisionism.

		The true cause for the decline of the political idea in the West today is to be found in the fact that the spiritual values that once permeated the social order have been lost, without any successful efforts to put something better in their place.
		Political concerns would largely be dealt with by the Upper House, which would consist of men who embodied and could defend spiritual and national interests of prestige and power.
		She was a frank but simplistic populist who espoused some politically incorrect policies of a generally old-fashioned conservative nature, especially concerning nationalism (as opposed to globalism), immigration and Aboriginal affairs.

		His administration passed an historic tax cut based on dramatic cuts in marginal tax rates and began a massive defense buildup.
		The historic Tax Reform Act of 1986, though it achieved the supply side goal of lowering individual income tax rates, was a startlingly progressive reform.
		The fact that his conservative biographers don't see fit to acknowledge these deviations is a clue that their aim is something besides an accurate depiction of the life and achievements of the 40th president.

	Christian Historical Revisionism
		In order to claim historical legitimacy and doctrinal authority, a new history or mythology must be reconstructed in their favor.
		After the Apostles died, the Church grew cold, rigid, political, and developed liturgical practices in order to make up for the absence of zeal or the Holy Spirit’s power.
		There was no "gradual suppression of evangelical Christianity." The purpose of such revisionism is to make themselves the heroes of history and to offer a reason why the lay people should look no further than their present denomination.

		Here we are concerned with the historical accuracy of certain allegations and the moral guilt of the so-called German "nation of perpetrators" as well as the consequences which resulted from these allegations.
		Revisionism is concerned solely with determination of objective historic fact and has no desire to deny either respect or restitution to anyone who has suffered injustice.
		In case the evidence shows that a particular historical event did not have anywhere near as many victims as was previously believed, this is simply a historical determination, which has no effect on the fate of anyone.

	Why Is Japan Suddenly Indulging in Rosy Reinterpretations of the Past?
		This year, just one new history textbook out of eight mentions the comfort women, down from seven in the mid-1990s, while references to other infamous war crimes have been toned down or dropped, suggesting that the highpoint of progressive history teaching calling attention to issues of colonialism and war atrocities has passed.
		Emboldened by this success and by heavyweight political and media support, including Japan’s biggest newspaper the Daily Yomiuri, the Society believes it is moving with the tide.
		In a year pregnant with political and business possibilities, Tokyo is again finding the way forward blocked by its undigested history.

	"Historical Revisionism", by Noam Chomsky
		I'm aware that there has been a lot of debate about my alleged opinions on "historical revisionism," but I don't agree with your assumption that there is interest in my opinions, for several reasons.
		Anyone who was interested in my opinions about these matters would, surely, have looked up what I have written, from these earliest essays (long before "historical revisionism" of the kind to which you refer had become a cause celebre).
		If you want to know something about the "historical revisionists," look at their work, or ask people who are interested enough in them to read their work; that would seem a plausible enough suggestion.

		The above catalogue of historical inconsistencies is by no means complete, but even what you find here should be enough to keep those who attempt to harmonize the Bible busy for a considerable time.
		That the Bible does not contain pure ‘historical' documents should be self evident, since so many of the conflicts in its pages are polemical.

		But in the mind of the populace, this extermination is as real as the Second World War or the Egyptian pyramids, while real genocides, such as the artificially provoked Ukrainian famine in which several million people were deliberately starved to death by the Communists in 1932/1933, are all but forgotten.
