So it’s cool for Seattle to have a statue of a butcher like Vladimir Lenin but not for a former confederate state to have a statue commemorating the war?

The Lenin statue is not there explicitly for his praise.

Yeah people don’t hang out there on May Day to sing about how amazing Bolsheviks are, exactly.

That said I would be supportive of the Lenin statue’s removal

I'm a current unc student and I was at the site last night--sadly wasn't there for the toppling, but several of my close friends were. Ama.

Did they have a good time?
