personal opinion: marx totally fine, lenin kinda ok, the line would definitely be crossed with stalin though.

Some are destroying (not talking about America btw) already rectered their regional or national historical figures. Others erect dictators. But its from a far left regime, so its fine.

No. He's right about biases. Breitbart published an article about a statue of Gandhi being taken down. They "forgot" it was in Ghana, where they didn't like Gandhi's views on race. We would need a non-biased source, like DW.
