With the removal of the Confederate statues, come the removal of communist statues as well in this wild ride.
Personally, I have mixed feelings as opposed to my staunch stance of anti removal for the Confederate statues. On one hand, it is indeed a piece of history. On the other, it is a statue that has nothing to do with American history and was brought over in the late 20th century from Czechoslovakia. Perhaps a museum piece would fit.
That's just my silly opinion. What are your thoughts NSG? Do you agree with the Seattle mayor? Or do you believe otherwise?

Both statues are on private property, so all the Mayor can do is express his personal opinion.

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray has called for both the monument to Confederate soldiers at Capitol Hill’s Lake View Cemetery and a statue of Vladimir Lenin in Fremont to be taken down, saying they represent “historic injustices” and are symbols of hate, racism and violence.
