Does it matter that it ISN'T a statue of Che? Or that it was just a sculpture on temporary display, removed in 2008?
not sure how it's a "false equivalency" to suggest all sides seek to advance the interests of their respective side

it's almost definitionally true, says nothing about relative merits of their stances
-
Preserving "icons" is NOT an "interest" the Left is advancing at the moment, resisting fascism is. Stop moving goalposts, you're wrong.

Not what you said. "Icons" aren't an "interest" anti-fascists seek to advance. At the moment, only white supremacists want that.
-
You claimed false equivalency between the 2 sides' "interest" in icons, based on a false story about a non-existent "lefist" icon.
-
this is a fair point. there is some clamoring to install more left-palatable icons when these sorts of controversies arise but...
-
...largely on the part of the idpol diversity crowd, which I can accept is a distinct bloc from the antifa types
-
better example might be lenin statue in seattle, which amusingly the mayor suggested removing in addition to a confed monument
-
Again, a privately-owned sculpture offered for sale and displayed on private property, not erected as a monument to Lenin. No comparison.
