drgnfckr ( @drgnfckr@lemmy.ca ) 35•25 days agoAt 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.
FaceDeer ( @FaceDeer@fedia.io ) 11•25 days agoIf 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.
vaccinationviablowdart ( @vaccinationviablowdart@lemmy.ca ) 22•25 days agoVictims 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

Ok, but was Stalin a communist? Because the USSR sure as hell didn’t seem like a classless, stateless society

ProgrammingSocks ( @ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social ) 4•24 days agoIt is explicitly anti-communist, but you must understand that until quite recently that was something that in and of itself was celebrated. You gotta look into the red scares. For a long time, those in power have made “communist” and “socialist” basically synonymous with “genocidal authoritarian”.
FreudianCafe ( @FreudianCafe@lemmy.ml ) 25•25 days agoTurns out lots of nazis [collaborators] are victims of comunism

SilentStorms ( @SilentStorms@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 12•24 days agoThis 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.

Showroom7561 ( @Showroom7561@lemmy.ca ) 1•24 days agoThanks. 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

TribblesBestFriend ( @TribblesBestFriend@startrek.website ) Français4•24 days agoThis should be higher. That was a conservative pet project, they suggest the names which give to things to think about 1- they’re fucking idiots that don’t know how to make research and thus shouldn’t be leading anything 2- they’re fine glorifying Nazi
