At this point isn't this monument just a blatant anti-communist propaganda piece? If the people this monument honors are Nazis, then maybe building it at all was not a good idea.

Imagine if they try to save the monument and replace it with one with no names on it. Lol.

    Victims of communism was created by the CIA to spread anti communist propaganda. There are few if any facts in any of their ridiculous statements.

    The only real victims of communism were Nazis, kings, and people that aided those groups. Any monument with random names from 'victims' will only realistically have Nazis on it.

    The only real victims of communism ....

    That is 100% false. In the German Democratic Republic people got killed for trying to get out. Victims of communism as an organisation is bullshit, but there is no need to act as if there weren't some people who seriously died unfairly.

    It is explicitly anti-communist, but you must understand that until quite recently that was something that in and of itself was celebrated. You gotta look into the red scares. For a long time, those in power have made "communist" and "socialist" basically synonymous with "genocidal authoritarian".

    If the people this monument honors are Nazis,

    One name of a Nazi collaborator was found there. It's absolutely ridiculous to leap from that to "this is a monument honoring Nazis."

    Millions of people were killed by Stalin. It's little wonder that a few objectionable names might be scattered among them.

    At least one of them was killed for collaborating with nazis. Why did Stalin kill the rest of them?

    Cause Stalin was an autocratic douchebag who used people for his own power games?

    Doesn't really have a whole lot to do with communism, though.

    So there was more than one autocrat in charge? Like... some sort of... oligarchy or something?

    You need more than a dozen or so "leaders" for communism... or, to be accurate, you need none.
