Ah, I foresee furious outrage at this re-writing of history from our usual posters. Let's face it, they have to be 'even-handed'. In fact I was thinking of the Bolsheviks in my earlier post about standing up to zealots and not giving them free rein. I can't find a quote but I believe they had some kind of concept of needing one machine gunner at every street corner. In other words, only a small number of people needs to mobilise to control the lives of the majority, where the majority chooses not to mobilise.

If the statue concerns events that happened within the last 100 years and locals vote to remove it, then yes do so. Therefore Lenin can go - just. Edited by hedgehog50 (21 Aug 2017 1.08pm)

I must say I am disappointed with the response to this - no one has joined! Just think, if the FC Schalke 04 fans had taken similar action in the 1930s against Hitler, World War II could have been averted. We may even have won the penalty shoot-out in the 1990 World Cup semi-final. So if you want to be a PRICK join the collective! You could start by spelling the Ku Klux Klan correctly. Then you could note that Conan Doyle wrote The Five Orange Pips in 1891. That is two iterations of the Klan ago and in theory it no longer existed at that time - having been suppressed in 1871 and not reappearing until 1915.

What on earth are you talking about making false comparisons with pre revolution Russia! This post appears to be in stark contrast to your post previous to this. If the law weren't enforcing the law.....that's when there is a problem. What are you suggesting? That if you aren't going out punching a nazi that soon we are going to have nazis ruling over us? That's the nonsense that creates violence.....didn't you even watch that Tim Pool video? Edited by Stirlingsays (21 Aug 2017 1.11pm)

You appear to be struggling with metaphor today Stirling. I am waiting for your comment on the Lenin statues. The law stops at a certain point

Probably a reflection of your painfully obvious self absorption. Haven't my comments laid it out as overtly as possible? If the local democracy around vote for something that's within the law then I have no issues with it. So if they want a statue there or not a statue there that's for them. I don't agree with mobs tearing down statues no....This happens in times of war and conflict but I've never agreed that this is how you deal with stuff.
