I'm talking about most of Washington DC and other landmarks that are symbols of the USA. What do you think should happen to them? Mostly kept around or mostly destroyed?

Things like statues (unless they are actually old or have historical worth) probably can go, buildings can probably stay.

    I'm conflicted. On the one hand turning DC into a giant museum about how shit capitalism is would be pretty good. Tactically, the central government should be housed in Colorado anyways. But destroying right wing symbols would be pretty demoralizing and that would be good too. At the end of the day though, it's probably more about getting rid of the people rather than the statues. I'm sure some people in ancient Rome had some political feelings towards statues of any caesar but nobody today really looks at it that way. Then again there are idiots in a completely different time and political environment who use those statues as symbols of their ideology. So, idk.

    The pentagon being repurposed into public housing would be pretty funny. Decommissioning most/all of the secret bases and shit hidden all over would be good. The White House isn't even the original and who cares? Maybe keep it as a museum. But I'm not against burning it down (again) either. You could probably repurpose the mall into a better public space. Repurpose all those giant ass federal department buildings. Honestly it's probably going to be cheaper to knock down a lot of stuff than remodel. I don't even know what you do with the Capitol building.

      Its crazy because the national mall is the perfect example of how good federal land can be when it isn't infested with McDonald's and Ace Cash Express

      For Colorado being the capitol, if rumors and conspiracies are true then the Colorado Airport is already suited to be transformed into some form of seat of power, and theres already other airports nearby so you can just repurpose it.
