In communist California, inexplicable things happen. On one hand, California protesters have been removing Confederate statues just as they have in the rest of the country.
Unlike the rest of the country, however, the government in the Golden State has chosen to replace at least one of the lost pieces of history with a new statue that likely will not be found anywhere else.
The lost statue of General Douglas MacArthur that once stood in San Francisco will soon have its space occupied once again…with an homage to Soviet communist Vladimir Lenin.
San Francisco Mayor, Sandy Batt, proudly announced her decision to have Lenin erected in front of a tiny crowd at Fisherman’s Wharf:
“There is no more fitting hero to display in our fair city than this man of the people. Lenin built a nation that was ideal and of great mention. He did this not out of self interest but out of love for humanity.
The Soviet Union grew into a utopia. A heaven on earth. It’s people were known far and wide to have happiness beyond measure. One day, this state will achieve the greatness and perfection that the former Soviet Union once held.
Here in California, we are building towards a utopia of our own and someday we will achieve it. Comrade Lenin will guide us.”
The reality, of course, is the USSR was a failure of economic governance. Bread lines, starvation, poverty unheard of in most of the world….the Soviets suffered greatly under communism.
Similarly, there former Soviet satellite nations of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, etc, continue with that suffering today. Socialism, in all its forms, has been a disaster everywhere it has been attempted.
The people of California have officially gone off the deep end. They are not even hiding their communist tendencies anymore.
To no longer try to disguise them is completely un-American.
