      Of course they’d want to erase a black figure. How much more fascist boot-kissing would be enough for the US?

        Err, she’s not Black. Oh wait. Robeson. Nvm.

    In truth, we don’t have many monuments to communist figures in America, which makes this all the more saddening.

      @Makan its disheartening but not at all surprising; we’ll have build memorabilia monuments of eugene debs, fred hampton, joe hill, mother jones and others after a possible socialist revolution. but for some reason we have a statue of lenin in seattle; the lenin statue makes me happy

        There are even fewer to the Communist Party USA, but yes, you’re right, at least with the figures you mentioned.

    It isn’t the Republicans who want it gone, it’s the capitalist class who controls them. More Democratic tailing from the CPUSA evident in it’s training of you on display.

      They are not tailing Democrats though.

        They are though. They told us voting blue would stop Trump for a good example. Bourgeois electoralism to solve an inter bourgeois conflict. Concerned with the outcome for democratic labor aristocrats, not the working class.
