Is it time for the statue of Lenin in Seattle to be torn down?

[Weatherman2020]

When you consider how much blood is on the hands of Vlad, how can his statue remain?

Time to pull down Seattle’s Lenin statue? Silicon Valley venture capitalist takes on relic’s place in wake of Charlottesville tragedy

Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood has long been considered one of the city’s more eccentric areas — home to artists and hippies and an annual summer solstice parade populated by political floats and nude bicyclists.

But like much of Seattle, the self-proclaimed “Center of the Universe” isn’t entirely what it used to be. Coffee shops, small restaurants, a “working” rocket, a giant troll and the left-leaning counter-culture now share space with a good chunk of Seattle’s tech scene. Offices for companies big and small line the streets near the Ship Canal and Burke-Gilman Trail. Google, Adobe, Tableau, Outreach, Pixvana and GeekWire, among others, are part of the hub of activity.

Standing in the middle of it all is a statue that has always done its job of attracting second looks. And now, in the wake of the tragedy in Charlottesville, Va., and a statue’s place in clashes that occurred there last weekend, a well-known Silicon Valley venture capitalist is drawing new attention to Seattle’s often controversial sculpture, suggesting that it should be removed.

No, he murdered over 60 million but they were mostly white.

Yes, but what is his downside?

99% millennials don't even know who Stalin was.

The Satanic Philosophy Communism that that statue of Lenin represents, that Satanic Philosophy resulted in this:

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Do the people of Seattle want to remove it?

Did the people in the Durham?

Or did a couple of snowflakes take it upon themselves to make that decision.

4Chan's alternatives to date: Epoxy human skulls to the base, paint the hands blood red (already been done a few times), zap it with high intensity sound waves to disintegrate it, plant Shia Lebouf's flag onto of Lenin's head, re-carve Lenin's face into Pepe

We must not forget Mao Tse-tung Pepe.
