Instead of blowing it up it would be more fun to orchestrat the worlds largest Jenga game with a few people and moving its bricks until it topples over
I do wonder, if a Communist Revolution happened in America tomorrow... What do you do with DC?
Lots of Socialists suggested moving the nation's capital to Chicago because it was an industrial hub, and was more centrally located.
But even if you do that, what about all those monuments to genocidal slave holders?
No need to tear it down, they are historically important buildings that can be used for educating people on the horrible ideology of the country. Make everyone look at The Apotheosis of Washington and teach them about the concept of civil religion. Show them the monuments for all the American kids the state drafted and murdered for the sake of "freedom" in Vietnam and Korea (pointing out that the victims from North Vietnam, North Korea, China, etc. go unremarked) and tell them about what actually happened in those wars and why.
DC becomes the reeducation district and students tour it
Freeze it in time as a monument to capital's hubris
Make a Tetris around the Washington monument
