  • Too bad it's not a Lennon statue.

  • I wish I had $250.000.

  • @xxmcneilxx why not?

  • Lenin. My hero. It's amazing how one man changed the world forever

  • @pulpficfan1 yes he caused a famine intentionally you dumbass, dont ask me if he caused a famine review some historical facts ya fuck, dont minimize Lenon and maximize Stalin, his communist philosphies led to death and destruction, a sick megalomaniac and if you support him in any way i hope you receive the great rewards of and fruits of his teachings personally! enjoy the gulag you fuck

  • @geoff1424

    I agree, Geoff. The allowance of the statue of mass-murderer Lenin to be erected in Fremont is another symptom of the deliberately dumbing down of Americans.

  • @pulpficfan1

    Lenin called peasants "petty bourgeois" and starved millions of them after subjecting them to slavery. The gulags were Lenin's creation.  You Lenin apologists are a sick joke.

  • @geoff1424 He caused a famine? A Famine happened due to a 3 year civil war, and this famine was used as a political tool to motivate the rest of the Red movement. The "atrociousness" of Lenin is nothing when compared to the atrocities committed by Romanovs for hundreds of years, and was nothing when compared to the conditions facing many Russians of the time. The Red Revolution is betrayed by Stalin who commits the heinous acts that the Soviets are blamed for, and Lenin wanted Stalin dead.

  • Wtfuuuuccckkk! why in the free world to we have a statue of LENIN in seattle! this pisses me off, he caused a famine that murder his own people among the thousands of other atrocities fuckin unreal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!
