They should also have statues of the bullet riddled bodies of the victims of Che' and Fidel's revolution.

In 1964,'65 and '66 My buddies fished bullet riddled Cuban bodies out of Guantanamo Bay, Post #13, where the fenceline meets the bay. No lie.

Why not a statue of Heinrich Himmler while they are at it?

This will do nothing but increase property values on the Upper East and West Sides.They *do* love their revolutionaries up there where coops go for $1000+ a square foot.

That pic is from another city...NOT NYC. Doris C. Freedman Plaza should be in SE corner. Maybe you’ll be there before me.

Most lefties feel guilty about past U.S. actions in Latin America and view the U.S. as having unfair dominance over the rest of the world, especially Latin America. So they idealize Che and other Latin Americans who “fight” against this unfair U.S. dominance. This trumps everything else, even the execution of innocent political prisoners

You’re mistaken. That’s a public urinal. All patriots should use it every chance they get.

This comment was made by "Che" in November 1962 to a reporter for the "London Daily Worker"....

"If the missiles had remained we would have used them against the very heart of America including New York. We must never establish peaceful coexistence. In this struggle to the death between two systems we must gain the ultimate victory. We must walk the path of liberation even if it costs millions of atomic victims."

I think there should be a statue of Augusto Pinochet!

Che Guevara

Who in large part was hunted down and killed by American Special Forces. THAT should be the statue...

From the Wikipedia article on the statue:

Fremont is considered a quirky artistic community, and like other statues in the neighborhood (such as Waiting for the Interurban), the Lenin statue is often the victim of various artistic projects, endorsed or not. A glowing red star and sometimes Christmas lights have been added to the statue for Christmas since 2004. For the 2004 Solstice Parade, the statue was made to look like John Lennon. During Gay Pride Week, the statue is dressed in drag. Other appropriations of the statue have included painting it as a clown.

My favorite is the one of dressing it in drag! Those people in Seattle are quite nuts. To paraphrase the closing line from the movie "Chinatown": Forget it folks, it's Seattle.

I think a good one would be Pinochet with the caption: “Hey Stalin, I got your omelet right here!”

Here's my favorite all-time Lenin statue. The bird dirt is a nice touch, don't you think?

On the bright side, pigeons crapping on him all day is a fitting tribute.

Why are you surprised with the fascination with Che. Many people have a fascination with Hitler and some are fascinated with the devil.
