Somehow I suspect that the same people going on about not "honouring monsters" would also describe themselves in terms favourable to the man who invented the modern regime of terror.
Really? I suspect you are projecting that all SJWs also carry little red books with pictures of chairman Mao
Lenin is so historically irrelevant that it wouldn't even register with the anti-racist people if the statue existed or not.

I don't trust the FBI and don't see the value in statues
MLK was entitled to a healthy sex life just like the rest of us.

Some random slave owners and confederate soldiers from 200 years ago are historically relevant, but the founder of the USSR and founder of Communism is "historically irrelevant"? What's it like in that paralell universe you seem to inhabit?
communism is not a threat to the world, racists on the other hand....
Tell it to the 1 million Uygurs in "Re-Education Camps", in china.
Quote:
The Xinjiang re-education camps, officially called Vocational Education and Training Centers by the government of the People's Republic of China,[9][10][11] are internment camps that have been operated by the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region government for the purpose of indoctrinating Uyghurs since 2017[3] as part of a "people's war on terror" announced in 2014. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_ ... tion_camps
Also, tell that to the coronavirus whistleblowers that have died or disappeared.
And how many hundreds of thousand people, all over the world, have died of the CV because the chinese let infected people fly out of the country.
And what about Australia being punished for requesting an investigation into the CV?

MLK was entitled to a healthy sex life just like the rest of us.he was exclaiming that he didn't feel like a black man no more, in one tape. in any case, cheating on his wife, not reflecting well on a man of the cloth. he had feet of clay even as his rhetoric reached to heaven.

Adulation makes people lose their sense of humility. I didn't know it was adultery. I am totally intolerant of adultery.

You seem to forget that man is very visual. You also assume that everyone reads? Half the little s**ts in the classroom don't even listen to their teachers. So, if they can't see it and they don't read it and they haven't heard it, what might prompt them to ask for more information? Nothing... so they will forget. If forgetting is your game, so be it.
But you're making a dangerous assumption by thinking everyone learns, remembers as you do.
