The difference between a book and a statue

[Wallfire]

A statue, you look at it you listen to the man telling you who it represents and the bad he did, you cheer and get the ropes out and pull it down.
A book, you need to want to open it, have the ability to read it and understand it.
Germany burned books because the level of education there was high, people could read books.

Even a statue of Miguel Cervantes (1547-1616) was vandalized with red spray, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.

Cervantes is regarded as the foremost and most classic writer of Western literary history and is best known for the comic early novel Don Quijote.
However, what he would have with the "racism" and American slave trade that the left-wing extremists claim to be fighting is unclear.
In fact, Miguel Cervantes himself was a slave - to Muslims - a fate he shared with millions of other white Christians during the era. In today's leftist history writing, however, slavery is something that mainly white people are accused of engaging in, with dark-skinned victims.
After being recruited in the Navy, in 1575, the author was captured by Ottoman slave pirates and taken to Algeria where he was held prisoner. According to a Turkish historian, there is also evidence that Cervantes was forced to work on the construction of the Kilic Ali Pasha Mosque in Istanbul. Only after five years and four unsuccessful escape attempts was Cervantes released after paying a considerable ransom.
"Cervantes never set foot in America, on the other hand, he was a slave in North Africa for five years. But what does it matter to the cultural evolutionists," Arpi writes on Twitter.

"Tearing down a statue depicting Cervantes is like fighting against windmills," responds a user who was not alone in coming with that joke

Communists writing history again, if people could only read books. I wonder how many there had read Don Quijote.
As each day goes by I wonder if George Orwell was a time traveler
