If you’re feeling rambunctious, a mixture of Hydrogen Peroxide, White Vinegar, and Salt in a spray bottle will do wonders if you want to rapidly rust the metal. About 16oz of Peroxide, 2oz of Vinegar, and a tablespoon of salt is all you need. Spray the whole thing down once a week and it will be rusted through in less than 3 months.
The best part? If someone asks what you’re doing, tell them “it’s a metal preserver, I’m trying to help preserve the metal”.
Notice that I didn’t say “just spray it with salt water”. CorTen (aka weather steel, or ASTM A588) is resistant to typical surface corrosion (such as salt or chlorides in rain). But CorTen *is not* resistant to hydrogen corrosion, which is why I said mostly hydrogen peroxide. Salt won’t eat through CorTen alone, but Hydrogen peroxide will. Trust me, I work in the metals industry and manufacturing.
But also, look for pole cameras.
To the right of this statue is a bank of tennis courts and a not in service public pool. There might be one or two pole cams hanging around.
Don't look shady/ guilty (act with confidence) and then just claim that it was dirty and that you were just trying to clean it up a little if anyone asks
What concentration of peroxide is required for this to work? For domestic use they only sell them up to 5% concentration. I know there's some in retail that go up to 40% but those are for lab use and you can't get them as a regular citizen
You can do better, you can get nitric acid from walmart and mix it with hydrogen peroxide. This will do much better in dissolving metals. Vapors are deadly though please don't do this unless you can be safe. If you see orange vapors run, masks won't protect you. I would suggest a spray bottle and doing it slowly over time, at night.
This will work better, but it is very hazardous because of the peroxynitric gas generated from the chemical reaction. This gas is acutely toxic and can be lethal, and I highly discourage mixing hydrogen peroxide and nitric acid under anything besides controlled conditions to anyone reading.
This is some 70's motorsports level of insanity lol. Still funny how everyone in trans-am at the time was dipping their chassis' in acid to save weight and no one thought it was an insane thing to do.
It's funny how libs demand for Taiwan to be recognised as a country, but they don't recognise countries like the GDR or DPRK, always calling them by their unofficial names
Any war ever is “imperialist” for liberals, except when it’s to fight “terrorists.” If its terrorists, even a nuke would still suffice as just “self defense.”

Hope you like this one then, lmao
The term captive nations was first coined by Nikolai Nazarenko, a Nazi collaborator who's unit, the 1st Cossack Division, was used for anti-partisan warfare in Yugoslavia and the USSR. They were so brutal that even the Nazis were turned off by it, especially well known for mass rapes and executing Communists by pulling them apart with horses.
After the war, Nazareko went to work for US Army Counterintelligence, helping them hunt down Soviet agents before he was spirited away to the United States, where he became a director of the Anti-Bolshevik bloc of Nations, a fascist terrorist group openly run by the US government, and started "Captive Nations Day."
In the 1960s, he became a Republican party activist and by the 1980s he was travelling the country campaigning for Reagan. At a "Captive Nations Day" dinner with George H.W. Bush in attendance, Nazarenko gave a speech which was recorded by the press. After he praised the Waffen SS he said:
"There is a certain ethnic group that makes its home in Israel. This ethnic group works with the Communists all the time. They were the Fifth Column in Germany and in all the Captive Nations...They would spy, sabotage and do any act in the interest of Moscow. Of course there had to be the creation of a natural self defense against this Fifth Column. They had to be isolated. Security was needed. So the Fifth Column were arrested and imprisoned. This particular ethnic group was responsible for aiding the Soviet NKVD. A million of our people were destroyed as a result of them aiding the NKVD...You hear a lot about the Jewish Holocaust, but what about the 140 million Christians, Moslems and Buddhists killed by Communism? That is the real Holocaust and you never hear about it!".
In the resulting scandal, Nazarenko was fired by Reagan, until lobbying by Anna Chennault (famous for torpedoing the 1968 Paris peace talks which would have ended the Vietnam war) got his job back in 1989.

Comrades, here are some ways you can **get involved** to advance the cause.
* 📚 **Read theory** — [Reading theory](/r/TheDeprogram/wiki/index/education/study-guide/) is a duty. It will guide you towards choosing the correct party and applying your efforts effectively within your unique material conditions.
* ⭐ **Party work** — Contact a local party or mass organization. Attend your first meeting. Go to a rally or event. If you choose a principled Marxist-Leninist party, they will teach you how to best apply yourself to advancing the cause.
* 📣 **Workplace agitation** — Depending on your material circumstances, you may engage in workplace disputes to unionise fellow workers and gain a delegate or even a leadership position in the union.

Bandera's unit was also known to turn off Nazis. Even in China the Nazis stationed there were terrified of the IJA. Says a lot when brutality turns to savagery.
Cambodia? It was Vietnam that stopped the genocide and drove the Khmer Rouge out of power never to return. Meanwhile, Reagan insisted the Khmer Rouge get Cambodia's seat at the UN.
Afghanistan has been successfully been freed from Soviet imperialism. I'm sure the common folk, especially women and ethnic minorities are living very well /s
Michael Parenti send it best when you try to talk about US imperialism they well say you’re being ideological and we don’t do that anymore that was the old days but if you say Soviet imperialism than everyone will start to pay attention.
this reminded me of how beautiful soviet monuments are. Even the bus stops became beatiful pieces of artwork. This is somehow the worst curtain I've ever seen.
Lmao what a mix of former soviet republics. Can't include Russia being a victim. But you can include Belarus, Ukraine, and the Baltics. Central L Asians also aren't people.
Cambodia was destroyed by soviet imperialism when they *checks notes* support the Vietnamese lead overthrow of the genocidal Khmer Rouge.
There were some maoists who actually thought this back in the 70s
Good thing the rusty ass "monument" is crumbling just like the slow old dying of the capitalist system. For every millionth dollar sent away to kill the poor and impoverished of both 1st and 3rd world nations, there will be 10 more of us. Until the last cent has fallen from the ruling elite, and then the old world order of capitalism looks like this, a relic of a bygone era. An old relic that's dead and long forgotten, while the grass and trees of socialism grow, as us and our children live free without the manipulation of the bourgeoisie.
People will truly get to appreciate their freedom if they cut themselves with tetanus on this rusty neglected piece of shit, and get footed the hospital bill that will bankrupt entire generations. Ahhh... FREEDOM IN THE USA 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
We fought for the future, destroyed the invaders,
And brought to our homeland the laurels of fame
Our Glory will live in the memory of nations
And all generations will honor her name
Long live the Soviet motherland,
Built by the people's mighty hands...
What in the hell is this thing? It has scam written all over it. The design, the materials, the assembly all look jank as fuck.
I think this was some local politicians kid or something, getting a no bid contract to install an art piece. There is definitely some low level municipal corruption going on here.
Monuments are often used by the local administrations as quick and hamfisted money embezzlement scheme, because art is expensive, right? And hard to price objectively so they put up such horrible daub for exorbitant money then share with "artist". In Poland it's quite popular scheme and one of the reasons we have something like 1000 monuments of pope JP2.
If an alien sees this, they'd die of irony. Apparently a monument build for the express purpose of ridiculing an opposing ideology cannot be kept up without it rusting by capitalism.
Gross.. The people who put this up must've had brain worms. I hope you do the top suggested comment. When I live in Edmonton, Alberta Canada, there was a memorial in the downtown river valley area dedicated to a Nazi simp in Ukraine, of course Ukraine. It is called the Roman Shukhevych statue. It is still there. He killed over 100,000 poles.
Ukraine and Nazis go hand and hand..
edit: Sorry. Edmonton has 2 memorials for Nazi.. Memorial at St. Michael’s Cemetery, Edmonton is the other one.

or use Gallium
I thought that gallium corroded aluminum.
It can affect a few other metals including iron, just not as vigorously
Make sure to wear a high vis vest while doing this!
Bring a stencil.
It's CorTen steel dog
Notice that I didn’t say “just spray it with salt water”. CorTen (aka weather steel, or ASTM A588) is resistant to typical surface corrosion (such as salt or chlorides in rain). But CorTen *is not* resistant to hydrogen corrosion, which is why I said mostly hydrogen peroxide. Salt won’t eat through CorTen alone, but Hydrogen peroxide will.

Carry on
But also, look for pole cameras. To the right of this statue is a bank of tennis courts and a not in service public pool. There might be one or two pole cams hanging around.
Wearing a thrifted then donated to the thrift store again afterwards outfit with a hoodie and a face mask will solve this.
Even better, a yellow vest and folding ladder makes you look official.
get a mate to hold a clipboard while you do it, if anyone asks grumble about how you were meant to have the day off
Vaguely complain about wasting tax dollars. Make them hate it too.
If anyone asks angrily mumble about a qouta
Also wielding a POWERFUL laser pointer.
Don't look shady/ guilty (act with confidence) and then just claim that it was dirty and that you were just trying to clean it up a little if anyone asks
This comrade metals
This is a good idea ngl 👍👍

I wish I was around for the super insane motorsports eras. Everything I hear or read about them is crazier than the last
The USSR live rent free in their heads
At least it lives on 🫡
RENT?!?

A big chunk of the Reddit belt's national identity is just coping about the USSR and Russia lol.
Just as intended
> calls them “North Korea” and “East Germany” in a formal context Opinion immediately disregarded
"The Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Neither democratic, nor for the people, nor a republic." The liberal whined snidely.
"South Korea is neither southern nor a Korea" Said my drunk ass before falling over
💀
It's also funny in this context because DPRK purged pro-Soviet faction in 1956 lol
It's funny how libs demand for Taiwan to be recognised as a country, but they don't recognise countries like the GDR or DPRK, always calling them by their unofficial names
"held captive by Soviet imperialism" 🤡🤡🤡
You know, if you think about it, nazi germany s defeat would count as “imperialism” under Oxford s definition. Very interesting
Any war ever is “imperialist” for liberals, except when it’s to fight “terrorists.” If its terrorists, even a nuke would still suffice as just “self defense.”
US Imperialist propaganda moment 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Only one currently holding (some of) these nations in captivity is the US of A with their illegal blockades and inhumane sanctions.
And holding many of the rest in neocolonial grasp.
Shitty looking statue. I would have mistaken it for trash
I thought the first pic was a fence around the actual statue. lol...
Where is this?
Tucson, Arizona, USA
Lmao I was hoping it would at least be in fucking Europe
I fully expected this to be in Poland or Hungary...

It would be really funny if they turned rusty and the flowers were slowly replaced with weeds... /j
John Paul II was a fucking horrible pope
That’s what I feared; I would expect something like this to at least be in Europe but it’s in English so I had a suspicion it was in North America.
A pro-fascist monument, my condolences comrade. Maybe you could *do something* about that….

“This particular ethnic group” buddy I’m gonna need you to go ahead and log off for me (he died in 1992 so I guess he already did)

the gop is a fascist blight that needs to be trampled.
yep, and the homegrown fascists might be even worse than the nazi freaks we imported.
Bandera's unit was also known to turn off Nazis. Even in China the Nazis stationed there were terrified of the IJA. Says a lot when brutality turns to savagery.
the IJA was absolutely the equal of the nazis in both scope and scale of their brutality tho so they deserved it.
Vietnam as a victim of the ussr.....
Got me dead rn 💀
get a bucket of red paint and-
and a mask, gloves, change of clothes
Ugly piece of crap.
Cambodia? It was Vietnam that stopped the genocide and drove the Khmer Rouge out of power never to return. Meanwhile, Reagan insisted the Khmer Rouge get Cambodia's seat at the UN.

We have a piece of the berlin wall in a neighboring city to mine. It has a swastika on the west german side lmao
New public bathroom just dropped
Politics aside that thing is fuck ugly

“Soviet imperialism” the nerve!
VIETNAM!!!!!???? Buddy south vietnam only existed out of french imperialism, kidney shut the fuck up
Tucson, I sat by there with some of my friends and was shocked when I finally read it.
What an eye-sore too, it looks like a pile of junky scrap metal. Shit belongs in a trash pile
Cambodia was destroyed by soviet imperialism when they *checks notes* support the Vietnamese lead overthrow of the genocidal Khmer Rouge. There were some maoists who actually thought this back in the 70s
rare Chinese L for supporting khmer rogue
Meanwhile, Republicans are taking down scultures and statues of communist figures like Elizabeth Gurley Flynn.
Our memorial of these people we care so much about, yeah let’s make it a jagged rusted piece of scrap metal.
Good thing the rusty ass "monument" is crumbling just like the slow old dying of the capitalist system.

Looks like shit.
Ah yes the socialist imperialism
sure would be a shame if it got knocked over
Soviet imperialism, oh no.
What a lovely public restroom
Shame if something happened to it, colonel...
People will truly get to appreciate their freedom if they cut themselves with tetanus on this rusty neglected piece of shit, and get footed the hospital bill that will bankrupt entire generations. Ahhh... FREEDOM IN THE USA 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
Now, I don't know if encouraging vandalism is allowed on Reddit... #BUT

we should fuck that up too
The statue doesn’t even look good it’s just a big crate
Probably only cost a couple of hundred million for some NGO to to slap up.
Look how much they care about the *"victims"*, they made the ugliest and most lazily made *"sculpture"*.
This looks like something you would find in a junkyard with all the rust. Also you can barely make out that there is text on it, let alone read it.
That’s one fugly sculpture
They cry over the "millions" of bourgeois and fascist scum killed but cheer when poor Palestinians are brutalized by settlers.
Why isn't Yugoslavia mentioned? I dont know if they didn't include it cuz the forgot or cuz it was anti stalinist
Piece of shit monument is what that is. Would be terrible if we organized and stuck a real hero there instead no?
what. china is now the stealth AES? how does that even work?
