No, I think a better solution would be to MELT IT DOWN, turn it into bullets and fire them at ANTIFA and BLM rioters just for the irony and of course the LULZ.
Normally I agree. Though this loser's mind-virus has caused so much suffering and evil that it's almost better we just forget that some of us were ever so stupid and jealous to ever subscribe to it.
We removed and replaced many statues in the world and the only way we know about these statues is because they have been placed in museums (or otherwise preserved). The left just wants to destroy and doesn't care about preserving, they use the argument but don't actually do it (as seen by the statues that are now on the bottom of a river). I'm fine with statues moving locations if the owner of the land or the statue wants it.
Indeed, his writings have been influential. And even though his writings are terribly flawed and easily falsified by everyday reality, his writings are part of the canon of history. The man himself did not personally harm a soul.
Don't even put the great General Robert E. Lee in the same sentence with the man whose philosophy has caused the deaths of over a hundred million human beings. You might disagree with the cause Lee fought for, but he was a good man and a great general.
I think any kind of censorship to history is wrong. Why not just put a big ass sign that says "This guy indirectly caused the mass killings of over 100 million innocent civilians [not including soldiers] "
Marx is a failed man who rose to fame because the British aristocracy liked him... who else did the brits make famous, Soros who stole the riches of his people for the nazis in his youth, he was a great court jester for the nobles who taught it was such a great display of jewish greed, the jew who steals from dead jews without empathy. They are sick people!(the aristocrats that is)
I'd say refashion them. Here in Belgium, I am an avid fan of cutting off the hands of Leopold II statues and nailing them to a commemorative plaque stating his crimes against humanity.
In other words, refashion the statue from the neck down to look emaciated
I've seen that one when they painted his hands red to represent the blood he spilled of innocents. They also make fun of him at Christmas, putting decorations on him like he's a tree.
The fact that people still read his debunked theory boggles my mind. It might have been excusable at the time, but definitely not today. Actual reality today directly contradicts his writings. You have to be brainwashed, to view the world in a way it is not, to see any contemporary value in his work.
For anyone wondering this is the Karl Marx statue in Trier Germany. Beautiful town with lots of cool history despite being his birthplace. I use the statue as a landmark to remember where the bathroom is.
Nah, melt that metal down into something useful in a capitalist endeavour. If you still desire a monument, make it a memorial to the victims of his colossal evil.
No. You should keep it up but add a big plaque right right next to it explaining why he is a piece of shit who is rotting in hell and educating people on all the horrible things his stupid fucking philosophy has done.
I disagree. Heroes and villains must both be remembered. Without a statue of Marx or Hitler or Mao, you won't have kids ask who they were. Then they'll only know what the school tells them instead of the truth.

Melt it down into ammo and sell it to pedes, who then use it against commies.
Na, leave it. Don’t ever erase history of any kind.
Normally I agree. Though this loser's mind-virus has caused so much suffering and evil that it's almost better we just forget that some of us were ever so stupid and jealous to ever subscribe to it.
So you make it a reminder of what Marxism is. Not what they want it to be.
We should commission a plaque in memory of the countries his view destroyed.
Agreed.
This is the way
That's why museums exist.
That’s the same argument the left uses when they tear down statues of General Lee and Thomas Jefferson

I upvoted you. I get your point, but no. Add to it, commemorate the great commie purge of 2020. Something. But don’t tear it down.
Indeed, preserve and record are the only way we can learn from history.
Agreed, tearing down statues out of anger is still barbaric no matter who the statue is of.
Marx has a place in history, just like Robert E. Lee. Keep both statues up.

this beats the SouthPark episode when bono is revealed as the biggest turd in the world. we now have a new record holder. it looks like a giant turd.
What an half assed statue. It's like "yeah, I got the face riight, don't care for the rest. Can you pay me now?"
lol seriously. this is a really shitty statue. a good representation of communism
Hey that's bullshit!
What about that no good prick Lenin?
[Liberty Prime Noises] All the commies bastards!
Don't forget his good buddy Trotsky
Stalin certainly didn't forget him, lol.
They should all be rounded up and welded into a cube.

>They are sick people!(the aristocrats that is)
Some are, some aren't. If ALL of them were, we'd be still slaves.
Brits arent slaves because they threatened to kill them, the french killed them and the americans fought too. Freedom is always paid with blood.
Yeah, I know -- history is hard for some, requires reading comprehension to begin with.
No, they are important snapshots of their time.
I'd say refashion them. Here in Belgium, I am an avid fan of cutting off the hands of Leopold II statues and nailing them to a commemorative plaque stating his crimes against humanity.

We need mass deportations on TD. This fucking place is being overrun. DEATH TO ALL COMMUNISTS.
Shadilay doomer fags!

That is kind of a waste. Just turn it into a public urinal.
well, not the ONLY one
No, leave it there. And, attach a historically accurate plaque that shows what a truly vile and evil bastard he was...
No. You should keep it up but add a big plaque right right next to it explaining why he is a piece of shit who is rotting in hell and educating people on all the horrible things his stupid fucking philosophy has done.
There’s an Obama statue in Rapid City, SD that could possibly be a second.
What are all the gun barrels off to the side?
There is a Lenin statue in Seattle. It needs to go.
Looks like the giant shit i took this morning
