You dont build statues of nazi soldiers to remind us of the past

Smh

>lenin statue in seattle

lol

I mean they dont make a good case for themselves when they try to beat up the statue

```
Initially installed in Czechoslovakia in 1988, the sculpture was removed after the Velvet Revolution and brought to the United States in the 1990s.

Lewis E. Carpenter, an English teacher in Poprad originally from Issaquah, Washington, found the monumental statue lying in a scrapyard ready to be sold for the price of the bronze; Carpenter had met and befriended Venkov while in Czechoslovakia. In close collaboration with a local journalist and good friend, Tomáš Fülöpp, Carpenter approached the city officials with a claim that despite its current unpopularity, the sculpture was still a work of art worth preserving, and he offered to buy it for $13,000.[1] After many bureaucratic hurdles, he finally signed a contract with the mayor on March 16, 1993.

The statue pretty much exists because some artist went statue dumpster diving

@Deleted User the statues can just go into a museum problem solved

Not because Seattle worships Lenin in any way

@Valtiel thats a great idea, bu they shouldnt be taken down and discard

@Deleted User and its not like Charrlotesville worships the confederacy either

@Deleted User no they shouldn't and those people will be charged anyways.

Charlottesville is a pretty chill but expensive college town. My cousin goes there for med school

Don't get my wrong, I am just playing devil's advocate by saying it's not stupidity that motivates tearing down these statues

Yeah Charlottesville is really calm

ye

I still disapprove of destruction of history and culture, even if it's history you dislike

I'm quite surprised they banned CSA flag and remove confederate statues when fucking southern states have confederate flag in their flags and coats of arms

I would neither approve of tearing down a Stalin nor Hitler nor Merkel statue

mhm

They should just be moved to a museum. Merkel is too contemporary.

Speaking we started recently removing our communist statues. Surprised they lasted so long in country where propagating totalitarian views like fascism, communism and NS is illegal.

What country

Poland

👀

Communism isnt totalitarian dummy

How it isn't? All communist states were totalitarian. That's how our law specifies it anyway.

No Profile Pic = No Brains

In the eyes of a ex totalitarian communist state it is

(As an albanian i know what im talking about)

Wow Albania, wasn't Hoxhaist Albania literally DPRK tier?

Socialism can be totalitarian not communism. Communism is stateless

Just leaving this here

Law says totalitarian ideology of communism

In the constitution

>law

It's funny how people say these confederate statues are mass produced pieces of shit only put up to reinforce racism and yet a lenin statue is saved because "it's a work of art"

Isn't Lenin's statue ironically privately owned near a Freemason lodge? Lol Soviets hated masonry

The funniest thing I've seen so far are the people saying it wasn't even a real statue because of the way it crumbled, like do these people know how bronze statues work?

then of course there were the responses to it

They mayor said "there are better ways to tear down a statue"
