http://www.iain.hampson.btinternet.co.uk/1.00000001679.Mike.Tyson.-.jpeg

he is the only quite famous person that i can think of that i think could be a communist.

i dont get it though, his whole career seems based around Capitalism, Yet he has multiple tatoo's of famous Communist leaders ( Mao, Che, and i'm sure he has Marx And Lennin on one of his arms aswell )

anyone else know anymore?

[Mr. White]

don't know, maybe Maradona, he has tattoos of Che and Fidel, but Communists are not really welcome in the showbusiness.

Ali??? :huh: You mean Mike Tyson, right?

[Hiero]

As i mike tyson is a communist, just becuase he has tattos of communist leaders doesnt make him a communist. Many people like the artistice value behind famous portraits, like the Koda che photo.

[Saint-Just]

Mike Tyson has tattoos of Che and Mao because he is mistaken as to the role of these individuals and the way in which they thought. He, naturally as a bourgeois slave, assumes a particular role for leaders. He sees that role as proving one's self worth and place in humanity by exercising power over other humyn beings. This is not how Che and Mao thought. Che and Mao were individuals seeking liberation for the masses of people. He admires them not as revolutionaries or does he admire the cause for which they achieved their feats.

Tom Morello (a wee bit obvious)
http://www.poppyto.free.fr/morello/morello.jpg

[DRS]

lol what are you talking about?!?

LOL! mohammed ali!?!?!? and i was talking about people that not many people would of been a communist, and the reason i thought Tyson might of been one is due to the fact he has about 5 tatoos of the most powerfull communists known around the world.

if you saw a guy with tatoos of hitler, musolini, and som other nazi asshole, wouldnt you think he had something to do with nazism? :S

and chairman mao, i'm not sure about mike, he doesnt really seem the "interlectual" type, he might of just thought they looked " cool " lol who knows

[Louis Pio]

Maybe some of these people I post now is unknown to some of you. They are however famous among people with knowlegde on their fields (no im not patronizing you)

The international aknowlegded danish writer Martin Andersen Nexø (the guy who wrote Pelle The Conquerer which Bille August later made as a movie).

[YKTMX]

Mike Tyson?! Einstein?! Here's some real "famous" radicals:

The contemporary Swedish writer Jan Guillou still considers himself a communist as far as I know

[Louis Pio]

Don't forget Joel Emmanuel Haggland aka Joe Hill:

[Louis Pio]

And the great russian writer Maxim Gorki

[iwwobblie]

I thought Joe Hill was an anarchist.

[Louis Pio]

Well he was a syndicalist one could say, back then most of it actually didn't invovle what we see as anarchism today, that's also why many of them later formed the backbone in the communist parties.
About Joe Hill I don't think we know much other bout him other than he organised people in unions and wrote some songs. So it's a bit hard saying what he was.

I remember an interview where Mike Tyson gave the reasons as to why he had those tattoos. He had some knowledge of what they did and who they were. But, it probably is more about them looking "cool".

[Jadan ja]

Albert Einstein was a communist, but someone told me Niels Bohr was also a communist. Can anyone tell me anything more about that? Is it true?

[Jimmie Higgins]

As much as I admire Mark Twain, he wan't a marxist although many of his friends were utopian socialsits. Twain was a member of the anti-imperialist league though and a so-called "red-republican".

Woodie Guthrie, I can't believe he was so far down the list. Not a fan of his musc really, but his politics were pretty good at his high-point.

I voted for Nader, but he is definately not a socialist.

The evidence clearly shows

[ReD_ReBeL]

Albert Einstein was a democratic socialist and a zionist.

"Albert Einstein described the "predatory phase of human development", exemplified by a chaotic capitalist society, as a source of evil to be overcome. He disapproved of the totalitarian regimes in the Soviet Union and elsewhere, and argued in favor of a democratic socialist system which would combine a planned economy with a deep respect for human rights. Einstein was a co-founder of the liberal German Democratic Party."

"Einstein was a supporter of Zionism. He supported Jewish settlement of the ancient seat of Judaism and was active in the establishment of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem"

A bit of selective quoting:


However, he opposed nationalism and expressed skepticism about whether a Jewish nation-state was the best solution. He may have imagined Jews and Arabs living peacefully in the same land.

(...)

Einstein was disturbed by the violence taking place in the Palestine after the Second World War and expressed that he was disappointed with the Jewish Ultra-Nationalist Organization (Irgun and Stern Gang). Nonetheless, Einstein remained deeply committed to the welfare of Israel and the Jewish people for the rest of his life.

Einstein was not a socialist/communist, he was just a REFORMIST :blink:

Corn in the fields.
Listen to the rice when the wind blows 'cross the water,
King Harvest has surely come.


I work for the union 'cause she's so good to me;
And I'm bound to come out on top,
that's where I should be.
I will hear ev'ry word the boss may say,
For he's the one who hands me down my pay.
Looks like this time I'm gonna get to stay,
I'm a union man, now, all the way.

The smell of the leaves,
from the magnolia trees in the meadow,
King Harvest has surely come.

Dry summer, then comes fall,
Which I depend on most of all.
Hey, rainmaker, can't you hear my call?
Please let these crops grow tall.
Long enough I've been up on Skid Row
And it's plain to see, I've nothin to show.
I'm glad to pay those union dues,
Just don't judge me by my shoes.

Scarecrow and a yellow moon,
and pretty soon a carnival on the edge of town,
King Harvest has surely come.

Last year, this time, wasn't no joke,
My whole barn went up in smoke.
My horse Jethro, well he went mad
And I can't remember things bein' so bad.
Then there comes a man with a paper and a pen
Tellin' us our hard times are about to end.
And then, if they don't give us what we like
He said, "Men, that's when you gotta go on strike."

Corn in the fields.
Listen to the rice when the wind blows 'cross the water,
King Harvest has surely come.

http://www.dkp-ml.dk/IMAGES/victor_jara/victor_jara2.gif

Victor Jara -Chilean political folk-singer and poet. Arrested in the aftermath of the military coup d'etat led by general Pinochet (september 11, 1973), Jara was one of many political prisoners who were sent to the National Football Stadium where many were tortured, beaten and executed. Although his hands were broken, or, as many have claimed, amputated, Jara continued to sing a song supporting the ousted Popular Unity Party. After receiving many brutal blows, Jara stopped singing only when a machine gun fired by a military officer took his life. In the nearly three decades since, Jara's songs and spirit have been celebrated by numerous politically-minded folksingers including Pete Seeger and Tom Paxton.

I know Marx had said it, but I&#39;ve read a few times that Blanqui or whatever his name was was the one to originally say it

[Forward Union]

"From each according to his faculties; to each according to his needs" was the exact quotation

faculty meaning "An inherent power or ability. An occupation; a trade"

as it was written in russian, it would easily be translated as "from each according their abilities"

How could the mind that imagined mass warping the fabric of space and gave us general relativity possibly support capitalism. That would have been a waste. I agree with you. That great mind dreamed of the things we want also.

http://www.yale.edu/cp/stm/thomasmore.jpg



Sir Thomas More (7 February 1478 – 6 July 1535), posthumously known also as Saint Thomas More, was a Catholic English lawyer, writer, and politician. During his lifetime he earned a reputation as a leading humanist scholar and occupied many public offices, including that of Lord Chancellor from 1529 to 1532. More coined the word "utopia," a name he gave to an ideal, imaginary island nation whose political system he described in a book published in 1516. He is chiefly remembered for his principled refusal to accept King Henry VIII&#39;s claim to be the supreme head of the Church of England, a decision which ended his political career and led to his execution as a traitor. In 1935, four hundred years after his death, More was canonized in the Roman Catholic Church and was later declared the patron saint of statesmen, lawyers, and politicians.

As the author of Utopia, More has also attracted the admiration of modern socialists. While Roman Catholic scholars maintain that More&#39;s attitude in composing Utopia was largely ironic and that he was at every point an orthodox Christian, Marxist theoretician Karl Kautsky argued in the book Thomas More and his Utopia (1888) that Utopia was a shrewd critique of economic and social exploitation in pre-modern Europe and that More was one of the key intellectual figures in the early development of socialist ideas

Lol what??? Dali was a Fascist supporter&#33; He was openly pro-Franco. He should be in a gallery of anti-Communist figures like Bakunin :-p.

tristan tzara

[black magick hustla]

He should be in a gallery of anti-Communist figures like Bakunin :-p.



I do not understand why leninists so rabidly label bakunin an "anticommunist", as if "communism by itself is a precious possession of marxists.

also i thought you were a guy for some reason

[Quote]Lol what??? Dali was a Fascist supporter&#33; He was openly pro-Franco.[(Quote]

Salvador Dali was a communist in his younger years though.

My Literature teacher made a good point though. Perhaps Dali liked to play through all that ideology shit in order to mock ideologues. He was a fucked up guy, who would proclaim himself anarchist and late at night a fascist.

I don&#39;t care though, he was a scumfuck that kissed fascist ass in order to get abundant amounts of money.
