He only won by a small amount, but he still won :)

Interesting.

[Wiesty]

Wow, they've broken the border line of "he's leftist and evil, he cant be smart" and actually chosen the true winner.

[RevolutionaryMarxist]

Yay :D

I was one of the people who voted for him. I really like 'In our Time' its a great radio programme. I would encourage people to listen to the programme about Marx which features Francis Wheen who of course wrote that splendid biography of Marx.

He actually doubled the amount of votes the second place winner got. Not too shabby.

Now Lenin will win the "Greatest Leader" award!

if by greatest leader, you mean the greatest at killing workers.

I was being sarcastic.

[Tommie]

I voted for Sartre.

[pastradamus]

He's definetly one of the most important. Good to see the BBC poll. GET UM KARL!

He was more of an economist than a philospher post college years.

Im pretty confident that if Americans would have voted for their favorite philosopher, they would have chosen some moron like Adam Smith or something

Yay for Marx and Engels
