This has been a constant problem with this monument and will continue to be a constant problem because of its premise.
Tear it down and build something else.
How big would the “Victims of Capitalism” monument be?
You're living on it
"Nooooo you can't blame all these work related accidents on capitalism!!! They were isolated cases caused by specific companies!!!" - some dude I debated on Facebook, circa 2014
It will have roughly a diameter of 12'700 km.
At this point isn't this monument just a blatant anti-communist propaganda piece? If the people this monument honors are Nazis, then maybe building it at all was not a good idea.
Imagine if they try to save the monument and replace it with one with no names on it. Lol.
If the people this monument honors are Nazis,
One name of a Nazi collaborator was found there. It's absolutely ridiculous to leap from that to "this is a monument honoring Nazis."
Millions of people were killed by Stalin. It's little wonder that a few objectionable names might be scattered among them.
Victims of Communism memorial faces call to remove over 330 names linked to Nazis, fascists out of 550! MOST OF THEM.
This has been known for a long time. Back in 2021 Victims of communism memorial received donations honouring fascists, Nazi collaborators, according to website
Millions of people were killed by Stalin
Ok, but was Stalin a communist? Because the USSR sure as hell didn't seem like a classless, stateless society
At least one of them was killed for collaborating with nazis. Why did Stalin kill the rest of them?
Cause Stalin was an autocratic douchebag who used people for his own power games?
Doesn't really have a whole lot to do with communism, though.
So there was more than one autocrat in charge? Like... some sort of... oligarchy or something?
You need more than a dozen or so "leaders" for communism... or, to be accurate, you need none.
Those leaders were all elected, as were all but the lowest level of the communist party. Nearly every communist party is structured this way.
Turns out lots of nazis [collaborators] are victims of comunism
Yeah its technically correct lol

This is all I see in Firefox, Brave, or Edge:
Weird. Try this https://archive.vn/iJ0TR
Thanks. I'm able to view the article through that link. That stupid bright cyan newsletter box is still at the top, and I still can't close it, but it doesn't get in the way of the article. LOL
Shit, that's all of them
