go check out /r/askhistorian's wiki - and you can sort of roll your eyes and do a jack off motion when anti-communist shit pops up. I think it's important to understand you can just ignore the petty asides of writers when they insert their own personal opinion in between facts.
I am reading a Robert Hughes book on Goya and he has weird social conservative views that make me go "fuck youuuuu" when I read them, but those are few and far between the entire historical, social, and cultural analysis of Spain in the 1600s.
I think our perusall repository had shut down cause the course deadline had passed- but I've recently reactivated it for a friend, and you should be able to follow the instructions in /c/literature. We have an entire section on history.
Additionally, one good way to find anti-capitalist, or anti-colonial takes on these topics is to read prominent POC authors, they will have a better insight into the violence of fascism and colonialism, than the lib writing about that stuff clinically.
