The concept Rewrite history, to censor political opposition, is not partisan politics, but something that erodes democracy. It might be most well known by the book burnings during the Nazi Regime, but there are plenty of historic examples you can read about more under Historical Negationism or History Falsification.
Today, books aren't burned, but the concept is still active in for example Hungary, Russia, China and even USA.
Learn to be a Dic!

FAQ!
What is Democracy?
ELI5: When a lot of people make decisions together.
Along with famous academics, I prefer Robert Dahls definition democracy, known as polyarchy (the rule of many) and consists of clean elections, freedom of association, universal suffrage, an elected executive, as well as freedom of expression and alternative sources of information.
What is Dictatorship / Autocracy?
ELI5: When there is one person making all decisions.
If we want to be detailed, totalitarianism and fascism are forms of authoritarianism, which is governance by an authority without the option of questioning whatever the authority orders. The distinctions between the three are mostly a matter of political theory. Dictator is an elected authority while Tyrant is one who came to power by force.
