commie madness . First syphilitic Lenin statue in western Germany to be erected after heated battle

A syphillitic statute? Now that is newsworthy.
 
In the UK we make sure our statues can only catch scurvy in honor of our maritime past.

Total patriotism!
 
The linked article in the OP is from March of this year. It might have been a better OP if a more recent article had been linked to - one that notes the statue has actually been unveiled.

I don't think the Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany is a very large or influential group, though I'm sure there are some young members with little knowledge of just how bad were the acts of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov [Lenin] as leader of the October Revolution.

There is one point that is relevant to the 'statue removal' movement in the US. The Lenin statue is on the property of the MLPD - not public property, though it can be seen by anyone passing by. WHY do the statues honoring Confederates have to be on public property? Move them to the backyard of Uncle Joe who belongs to Sons of Confederate Vets or to the garden of the local Daughters of the Confederacy Home for Aged.

Your "new research" article is 11 years old, a newer (2012) article has added to the debate.

Vladimir Lenin?s Death: Syphilis, Poison, Or Just Stress? New Research Raises Questions

The communist leader died in 1924, and a rumor that he had died of syphilis came to be widely accepted--especially after the European Journal of Neurology turned the suspicion into a retrospective diagnosis in 2004.

But new research conducted for an annual conference at the University of Maryland has raised doubts. Lenin's autopsy records were reviewed by UCLA neurologist Harry Vinters and Russian historian Lev Lurie. The Bolshevik leader had suffered several strokes shortly before he died in 1924, and these researchers found that syphilis, though it can lead to strokes, isn't likely to have resulted in such a sudden demise for a man who was generally healthy for his age.

Instead, Lenin's death could have been caused by hardened arteries. He passed away at 53, and his father passed away at 54. A family history of arterial problems seems a more likely cause of death than syphilis side effects, noted Vinters.

.........and your thinking is absolutely correct.

With around 2,300 member they hold no seat in either the federal parliament nor in any of the states'.

Seen as a sect by some, it is totally isolated even from the (slightly larger) commie party.

Who?

Get a clue.

When you speak about a person or a place if you use the names everyone knows it helps in understanding.

There were no Marxists in Muscovy.

Never.

In RUSSIA there were. In CHINA there were.

And yes. LENIN was revered in RUSSIA.
