    It’s funny how humans get confused when an art piece represent a horrible ideology. We tend to either adore something, or hate it.

    Preserve, and provide context! Those who destroy statues tend to forget the mistakes that lead to their creation in the first place.

    Would probably be a good idea to place it in a museum with proper context. Doesn’t seem too large based on the photos.

    Like I’m of the opinion that while having these statues out in the public eye (as in, in a park or whatever) is wrong as it sets the wrong idea for what’s considered accepted by the community, I also don’t think destroying the piece is a good idea since you lose the entire idea of what it represents, which eventually leads to people forgetting and repeating those behaviours.

    They weren’t hit by WWII, Nazism is not a tragedy for them, so why should they care?

      It’s simply historically significant. If an American bought the Mona Lisa and declared that he intended to eat it I’m sure there’d be plenty of outcry even though Leonardo da Vinci wasn’t American.

        Better analogy is inside the publication as a quote of Aldo Lamorte, a member of parliament with the president’s conservative National Party:

        “The Roman Coliseum was NOT destroyed because Christians were killed there.”
