Nostalgia of Reapolitik

I've seen such a discrepancy amongst the several definitions of nostalgia of realpolitik that I found it necessary to comment on it. It’s quite literally the politics of reality. It’s a propagandist move that manipulates the memory of things past (true or untrue) to the advantage of the politician. It’s a strategy more so than a perversion of memory, Prospero utilizes the nostalgia of realpolitik as much as Coriolanus and Enabarbus do. They each hinge their arguments on the fact that the past was no much nicer, the fact this hallucinatory past is non-existent is superfluous to the definition of the N.O.P.
