In the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle (because, duh, it’s Seattle) stands a 16 foot tall statue of communist revolutionary and innovator of mass starvation and firing squads, Vladimir Lenin. Republican lawmakers in Washington have now introduced a bill “to study and make recommendations on an appropriate historical figure to replace the statue of Lenin, and to represent the state of Washington.”

Republicans shouldn’t act like Democrats.
If you argued that there are “good people on both sides” of the Lenin statue issue, would that be racist?
Well I just searched for info...and it says it’s only been there since 1995, but I swear I saw it in the 90s...it was idd, I thought.
Put a cross in his hand and it will be torn down in two seconds flat!!! LOL!!!
That should be...I saw it in the 80s!
Yeah, it does. Unfortunately, like many other states, they’re badly outnumbered by the Lefties in Seattle and Olympia.
They should be supporting Trump’s initiatives and not worrying about Seattle’s statues.
The dude who bought it and brought it back found it in a scrap heap in some Eastern Block Country and it was more of a joke than to glorify Lenin.
I think it should be replaced with a statue of some great man who helped put Seattle on the map ... maybe Bobby Sherman or Mike Hegan.
I was thinking, rather than remove the statue, place a plaque with Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov’s accomplishments below the statue, along with a list of the “Useful Idiots” and co-conspirators he had murdered, and the methods used.
Let’s don’t be like the left, only tearing down what we despise. Instead, use this as an opportunity to demonstrate just how truly evil and inhuman the left’s policies genuinely are!
It is in Fremont.
It was originally in one of the Iron Curtain countries and the people toppled it when the USSR dissolved (not truly, just a strategic retreat).
The citizens of that country wanted to cut it up and melt it down.
The Seassholes bought it and had it shipped to Fremont.
When people complained, the Socialist Seassholes tried to calm them by saying that it is satirical artwork because they put it in front of a Taco del Mar (thus pitting Capitalism against Socialism).
That was all BS of course. They adore the Soviet system.
Hitler was also a socialist.
What would happen if another neighborhood wanted to raise a statue of Hitler?
Lenin and Hitler had far more in common than they disagreed about.
Yet another reason why I left the city of Seassholes.
I’ve seen it. Locals say it’s on private property, ironically!
Would they be OK with us raising a statue of President Regan?
If not, then we cannot allow their attacks to go unchecked.
We must fight fire with fire sometimes, even if we don’t want to.
Today they find a Lenin statue.
Tomorrow a Katyn forest perhaps?
The hand is painted red (blood) and the base is all green because of the piss.
Leave it.
Let the idiots own it, so that they can all be mocked and vandalized.
That’s how I see it as well. It is where it belongs. Freemont. :)
“” “” This is a Prime example of the STUPID in the Republican Party, they should be putting forth legislation to have a statue of Obama right next to Lenin in an Embracing manner, maybe on his knees with Lenin patting him on the head as a good little boy. “” “”
A great idea. Leave it to the left to fight against statues and windmills.
Actually, people can read that as symbolic of how the Marxists/Socialists/Communists ‘march onto and confiscate/take over private property.’
