The US will be turned into a people's republic by defunding police departments? I thought a strong police force is what keeps the current "people's republics" existing, or better their dictators?

If anything I would think that forcibly destroying a monument to someones ancestors will generate more hatred than take it away.

I generally agree, but there are exceptions. Monuments or memorials are usually erected to praise someone, so a slaver or e.g. King Leopold of Belgium with his 40 million killed africans should at least get some info text on his heroic statue. As should Bomber Harris' monument.
So all the Lenin, Marx, Stalin and Mao statues should not have been removed. Adding Saddam Hussein monuments in Iraq to the list..
