I was watching something about this the other day. Mainly focusing on how Mao was big on destroying cultural icons and history. I remember when I watched Last Jedi I really didn’t like the “destroy the past” line
I was just reading this article about the fate of the Robert E Lee statue which was trashed in Charlottesville. After lawsuit and court hearing, it's going to be melted down. Removing it wasn't enough, it must be vaporized forever. (Taliban anyone?)
Like the article says it's all about erasing the past,
The Red Guards, enforced Mao's objective to rid the nation of what he called The Four Olds: Old Ideas, Old Culture, Old Customs, and Old Habits.
It's always–like Mao–every 2, 3, 5 years. A new campaign and new fancy terms. And the state media lies every day until that [new campaign] becomes a truth accepted by the public."

I always want to ask the people who are so bothered by it how their life has improved without the statue
Like the article says it's all about erasing the past,
Unity - Criticism - Unity (belonging, inclusion). Common tactics used on the common people explained by James Lindsay here: Mao, Criticism, Unity
At this point it would be based to steal a confederate statue before the leftists could destroy it.
It'd be worth millions in a couple decades.
Yeah, in this case, I absolutely wouldn’t feel bad if this “museum” suffered some consequences for attempting to do this…
I think that’s evil, for them to do that… Like, not even sarcastically, that’s just… Revanchist evil.
If the law won’t stop it, I feel like it’s about time for people there to start ignoring said law…
They're destroying a plaque to a Horse because it's "so evil"
