A sad fact is that the democrats were born in the centralized and autocratic political system, who are opposed to such a system, are always the ones who are sacrificed and buried with the dead.
Their thoughts, habits in everyday life and languages can't be separated with that system. Although they are existing in opposition to such an autocratic system. However, no matter how much they are opposed to that system with hatred, all their lives, experiences and thoughts have originated from that system.
Both the autocracy and anti-autocracy are the fruits from same tree of the era, and the history of which consists of the two fruits. If the autocracy dies, then the tree will be gone, as well, and the fruits will no longer exist. Therefore, when the autocracy system dies, people under that autocratic system, who have been suppressed and insulted, but still persistently struggled to overthrow the system, will be pronounced dead spiritually.
The new era belongs to the next generation, and the new generation can't understand the pain of their last generation who have struggled under the old system, neither, they can't understand why after the old system is overturned, those predecessors who have suffered and got hurt from the old system can't recover from the cruel memories. They can't perceive that their fathers' lives and youth have been marked in that era, forgetting those memories and that era means that their imprints which once existed will be wiped off.
And making them more desperate, the new generation would not have any interest to know the details of the dead time.
And what made them more desperate is that, the new generations are not at all interested in that era which has gone by.
