Stalin lied, people died.

I’ve seen this thing, I came across it purely by accident while taking an out of the way shortcut.

The interesting bit is that they stuck it behind the Vaillancourt fountain (huge modern art, looks like a cubic spaghetti explosion), right by the maintenance stairs to the fountain. I.e., if you don’t know its there in the first place, its very unlikely that you will find it.

Its almost as if the City doesn’t want people to see it, certainly not tourists.

Typical of the anti-American left-wing pig faced Nazi and Communist who control San Francisco or is it called Joe or Adolph Francisco. Those that are still Americans should emigrate from this shameful Communist and Nazi Al-Qaeda location.

Back in the 1950’s, anyone who had been a member of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, in the Spanish “civil” war, was excluded from being allowed to serve in the US Armed Forces.

I know, because that was one of the questions asked on the enlistment forms then. Later on, I think during either the Kennedy-Johnson era, or possibly the early Nixon era, these “loyalty oaths” were deleted.

Communists who shamed themselves by serving Stalin have time on their side. Short memories, particularly on a subject as seemingly distant as Communism, enable the servants of an evil cause to reinvent themselves as history's heroes rather than its villains.

Strange. The author makes communism seem so.... retro. In fact, communism thrives today more than ever and is strongly represented by one of the two major political parties in the United States. Changing the word "communism" to "socialism" doesn't make it less insidious any more than changing "liberal" to "progressive" makes liberalism less insidious.

Interestingly, it was the Spanish Civil War in which George Orwell seemed to become disenchanted with the communists. His book “Homage to Catalonia” illustrates that.

Here is my own personal monument to the crime against Humanity of Communism:
