They aren't retard, Orwell was criticizing the Soviet Union and their staunchly Authoritrian version of Socialism, likening them to the extremism of Hitler. Did you not read the book and Orwell's background?

Orwell's background written by who?

Why does any mouth breathing idiot pick one of the "bipartisan" sides? Culture and influence and a weak mind incapable of independent thought. Any way you slice it, if you lean far left or far right you are definitely a brainless cuck.

He didn't mean Orwell's background written by someone, he meant 1984 and Orwell's background in general

removing statues of racist men with racist ideals isn't removing them from the history books or from being taught in schools.
it removes them from their celebratory pedestals.

RACISTS, SEXISTS, HOMOPHOBES!

this. just leave alone any founders who happened to be slaveowners

Historians niglet, Orwell was an English Spanish Civil War veteran sympathetic to the cause of the Anarcho-Communists that Franco, the Nazis, The Fascists, and Soviet sympathizers were trying to squash over in Catalonia. After WWII, Orwell was offended and disgusted with the bid for power the Soviets were pulling on the world; a disgust strongly driven by the fact he was a Socialist himself but greatly disagreed with Soviet implementation. "1984" was a cautionary tale urging people to not allow the Soviets take power over the world.

remove them all. stop idol worshiping long dead men whose own ideals can be stale in modern context.

so his interpretation of 1984
maybe Orwell meant jews

Except that's what democrats are becoming.

does anyone have that pic of the 'read a book nigger, you sure are dumb' with the dog in it?
/r/ing for OP's dumb ass

What do you guys think about the monuments with celebrative writings of fascism or nazism, built in that era? Should they be demolished?

No, the Democrats are almost as big on Capitalism as Republicans are and are therefore far more right wing than the Soviets could ever possibly be.

Removing a statue of someone who had ideals that were not in line with your current agenda but who helped play a major part in its creation is a fucking slippery slope.

Who gets to decide why you remove a statue? Today it is because "this guy was a racist!" tomorrow it's because "well he owned slaves!" then next week it's "he was for the second amendment!"

It's just about distorting reality to fit your needs.

why have statues at all?

These confederate statues were built in the 50s and 60s. hmmmmmmm I wonder why that was?
Seriously, putting them up was a mistake, and taking them down in a correction. They belong in a museum as a side show.

Another reduction to the absurd by Nazis in damage control mode.

No one is removing your sad record of failed insurrection, racism and hate from the history books. We just don't give participation trophies in the public square to loosers anymore.

You can still go read about 'muh heritage', the battle of Gettysburg, R. Lee and all the other cautionary tales fromcivil war history in a public library any day of the week. But who I am kidding, I know you cousin-fuckers don't read books.

...

>Independent though

There's only really two sides here, any other idea that a 3rd party puts forth is usually always adopted by one of the two major parties once it gains enough traction.

Millennials are the fucking morons here

>hurrre durrr pick one or the other and your fucked

>because they never read any of his works

Does anyone remember how the right was flipping nuts about the 10 commandments being taken down from courthouses as well?

>removing statues erected in the 20th century to honor traitors who lost the civil war
>rewriting history

Because no one is erasing history. Information about the Civil War and the Confederacy is still freely available. Statues are being removed because we don't want to glorify the memory of traitors who fought to preserve slavery.

Friendly reminder, it's not about history nytimes.com/2003/04/06/us/lincoln-statue-is-unveiled-and-protesters-come-out.html?mcubz=1

Why would they? It would be bad PR.

You need to read more history and maybe watch a couple of videos by Jordan Peterson.

> Removing a statue of someone who had ideals that were not in line with your current agenda
How about this one?

>in a republican house, senate, and presidency, the democrats are to blame
Seems legit.

1. There's a difference to rewriting history and not celebrating the worst parts of it. Learn the difference. Unless you have a learning disability, which you most likely do.

2. These statues aren't even historic relics. They were put up less than a century ago as a giant "Fuck you" to black people wanting equal rights under the law.

3. Why would you want to celebrate traitors to the US. That's like wanting to put a statue of Osama Bin Laden at the WTC memorial. Fucking dumbass.

...

Sounds more like it was whites whom he was talking about..... and you know you crackers are notorious for it.

Everything was perfectly laid out already dood, sorry it clashes with your agenda.

this is out of sight out of mind mentality
the statues you claim are 'celebrating' these people are in fact prompting important discourse on the nature of human rights and american history, among people who don't happen to have an american history textbook laying around. removing them removes the idea of these people from being considered outside of academia.

>are becoming

>***have become***

How many Grant or Lincoln statues are there in the south, if they are trying to provide history?

Not even close, see

Even the alt-right figured out this little gem wasn't going to fly two weeks ago, and ran from it like it was an outbreak of cholera.

You have all been been baited by a retired talking point and 20 seconds in photoshop

Because its the dipshits trying to celebrate muh lust cause that are rewriting.
Confeds wanted to force slavery, to the point of writing it into the Constitution and rebelled.
Do you want to go off and say how victorious the commies were in all their wars because liberals liked their ideals so much?

Except these statues were voted to be removed by the residents of these places. Times are changing, fucking deal with it.

"Two sides"
>Supported by the same corporations, the military industrial complex, and the families with money and power not even CAREFULLY but quite obviously Orchestrated to APPEAR as two sides, even though it's just one giant mess controlled with inflation by the Federal Reserve. It does not matter what cuck side you THINK your dumbass picked. There is only one side. You are a fucking brain-dead idiot if you don't see it by now. Our president is a fucking reality TV star. It's all a goddamn show and a joke.

>democrats r leik in 1984 becuz remove statues

It was required reading in high school and you STILL managed to not read it lol

>capitalism = right wing
Nice try

No it's true. At least in the past few decades, the American right has been pro-capitalist, pro-free market, pro-business. That's why establishment conservatives hate Trump and his anti-globalization rhetoric.

do your research user those statues were erected as a way to white wash history they wanted to make the south look like "states rights" even though they were clearly evil sacks of shit

democrats are using similar tactics to the soviet union now

attacking people (antifa)
erasing history

So Antifa takes orders from the Democratic Party now? Is that the narrative you're pushing?

Capitalism is the epitome of right wing, Communism, the epitome of the left is its opposite. You can't be this ignorant.

Antifa is seperate from the Democrat party, they're a collective of Anarchists, Communists, and Anarcho Syndicalists.

Mfw user incapable of critical thinking beyond cheetos in parents basement

Orwell was warning more of the bastardization of language than political parties trying to score cheap political points by taking down monuments constructed to intimidate racial minorities.
