Lawmakers from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania sent a letter to Walmart executives earlier this month asking them to "demonstrate their corporate responsibility" and stop the sale of items with Soviet imagery.

The officials argued that carrying the items meant Walmart was participating in "promotion, among its customers worldwide, of totalitarianism, human rights abuse and suppression of freedom and democracy, the values that allowed such corporations as Walmart to grow and prosper.”

Plenty of cucksucking communists commenting on that Hill article. The Left is not for Human Rights and their genocidal hate for opposition comes up anytime someone points out the 100 million dead of communism. Middle fingers and “they were our allies” comments abound.
