Looking to protect their statues and other municipal monuments, cities and towns across the country have begun disguising their statues as Karl Marx.
City councils all over are ordering Karl Marx wigs and putting them on Teddy Roosevelt, George Washington, Christopher Columbus, and other statues. The move has proven extremely effective at deterring Antifa and other extremist groups, who are only looking for statues of old hateful white guys to destroy and not statues of communists.
"As soon as enraged rioters see the statue isn't of a dangerous, murderous madman whose ideas killed hundreds of millions but is just of Karl Marx, they move on," said one city council member in Illinois as he put a Karl Marx wig and beard on a statue of Abraham Lincoln. "Well, first, they bow respectfully to their hero and then move on."
Plaques on the statues with controversial quotes from the Founding Fathers are also being covered up with Marx quotes like "Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution!" and "Workers of the world, unite!"
Some towns are reporting that Che Guevara chin stubble and a beret also work wonders at saving the monuments.
Those dummies wouldn’t know Karl Marx from a confederate general. In their little minds, if he’s white and has a beard he must be a confederate. Isn’t that why the morons pulled down the Ulysses Grant statue?
There, fixed it ...
Or Lenin. That works in Seattle.
Babylon Bee has been NAILING it.
I am just about ready to contribute.
It’s ALMOST as good as Pookie’s Toons! (But not.)
Groucho would also work.
Ah, the Bee. Almost got me again.
Yesterday they had one with the headline “With Statues Gone, Pigeons Forced To Poop on Rioters”
