Was very tempted to visit red star tacos across the street. So hungry rn
I always wonder why we don’t just paint the whole statue red. It’s the colour of communism anyway
Nice! Looks like he got cleaned, every time I see a photo of him some dipshit covers his hands in red paint or puts something over his head
Yeah I was happy I got to see him without the coat of paint
Where is this?
North Fremont Pl, Seattle
When I first learned that’s where this statue was, I almost couldn’t believe it. Then you learn that the only reason it is there is that someone bought it once, needed a place to put it while they were figuring out what to do with it, then died, and it just became part of the outdoor space. I guess it’s technically on private property and no one has decided to buy it even though it is for sale, so there is a fun irony that Lenin stands in America only because private property sheilds him from removal.
Right around the corner from the Fremont Troll
Nice I went there last year. You should check out the Seattle underground tour and Twice Sold Tales a cool used book store with a lot of commie literature.
Already left 😔 we were just passing through and made a pitstop
wish they would have left his hands red. that was the blood of the bourgeoisie
When I last visited they were sorta spotted yellow with a red tinge to the base grey.
good to see him so clean, usually when I make my trips to the area he’s got the splashes of blue and yellow paint with the red hand. the blue and yellow paint is, imo, very funny considering the history.
It me
Good to see they got him cleaned up
I’ve been trying to get my local public library to 3d print this for my bookshelf but they keep not making it without any reason given
Looking clean, Lenny!
I should ask if my people cleaned the statue again or if more groups are participating in the clean-up now.
Clean boi
