In my book, Rosa Lichenstein is at the top for ably deconstructing one of my cherished notions, dialectics.
Everybody else here, including myself, is a wanker, with all due respect.

Your Favorite RevLefters?
It's been a while since we had one of these threads. Also I need something to procrastinate with. So here are a couple shout-outs from me.
Luís Henrique is really terribly intelligent. Probably the user with the best thought out politics on this whole board.
Devrim is really smart and funny as well. Also he knows more languages and has been to more places than I probably will ever learn/go to. Also the stuff he's told us about his life is quite interesting, and I get goosebumbs every time he talks about his experiences.
Vargha Poralli is actually one of my favorite users, though he tends to get overlooked cause he doesn't post so much. I hope to meet him when I go to India next year.
BobKKKindle$ is apparently my doppelgänger from across the Atlantic. He's very intelligent and I hope one day to meet him, which hopefully will not annihilate the universe. My one problem with him is that I'm pretty sure Maoism/Stalinism would have been eradicated by now if he would make his arguments against them more concise.
Apikoros. I don't really know what to say about her other than that she has the most solid posts on women's and racial issues, as well as Zionism etc. that I've seen on the board. Very much common sense in politics as well, which neither I nor most of the users on the board happen to have.
ComradeOm- I disagree with him on the Popular Front, but man does he know his history and I've never seen anyone do the educated history smackdown better than him.
Yehuda Stern is a tad dogmatic but he's one of the best contributors we have. Second to none at the Trotsky-style polemic.
Kassad, because unlike many of the Stalinists around here, he is capable of intelligent thought. Ditto for Wanted Man (or whatever his name happens to be), Ismail, and Prairie Fire.
Holden- he's funny as hell and I'd feel bad during our MSN conversations if I left him off this list.
Led Zeppelin does the Marxist theory smackdown better than anyone else. I hope to meet him sometime but I don't think I'll be in the Netherlands for the forseeable future.
I probably left out a lot of people. Now post yours!

I can see already that this is going to be one big circle-jerk among Trotskyist wankers
Actually the majority of the users I just listed are not Trotskyists. But whateva, ride on.
Led Zeppelin
BobKindles
SamB
Rosa Lichtenstein
etc
All great men.
Formerly zenga zenga !
Well my posts keep me entertained, at least. I like cmoney as he brings a soldiers pespective. Also I like samb and dada, who's antogonism and open hatred for me makes me feel loved.
Arizona Bay
TAT
Devrim
Dada
Aprikoros
Debs (children of the revolution)
bcbm
Some other anarchists I might have not mentioned...
some of my Florida (AKA "hell") comrades:

In terms of more serious posts, Yehuda and RP are prob my favorite posters on the board.
Also, Arizona Bay and dada for absurdity, and bcbm for ironic hipster patriotism.
And there are definitely tons of other equally good posters who I'm leaving out because my brain is shot atm (long day).
The cops, fascists, provocateurs, capitalists and every other kind of jerk who posts here. They're just great.
Basically just myself and anyone else who likes Stalin.
I like everyone I've met; palach, ungovernable farce, holden, bobK, pogue, Joe, whatever the hell name Jonny's going by these days, same goes for Dave... miscellaneous sheff anarchists whose usernames I don't know...
People I havn't met who I think are generally pretty swanky; bcbm, apikoros, bilan (although we'll be hipster doofusing it up soon), deconditioned reflex... Deb!
Big shout out to myself
The marxist-leninist block, of course
Also, people who aren't diehard anime haters, and people who have been nice to me, which is most people so far
hugsandmarxism, Brother No. 1, Q, and fuserg9
i'd have to say:
comrade joe the kentish motherfucker -- hilarious
apikoros -- very good posts on zionism
arizona bay -- pretty funny too
spiltteeth -- funny
kwisatz -- pwns anti-theists
and all the people on christian leftists
"Face the world like a roaring blaze, before all the tears begin to turn silent. Burn down everything that stands in our way. Bang the drum."
Probably gonna forget a few, this will be a long list... I'll try to narrow it down
bcbm (for just being completely pro)
Apikoros (for making great posts on race, gender and Zionism, and her posts in Stonertalk)
Hiero (for being one of the few posters on this board who loves Lacan and shares both my post-modern streak and my Maoist streak, often discusses academic shit with me and gives feedback on my University essays)
Raul Duke (for our mutual love for psychedelics and Hunter S. Thompson)
Comrade Alastair (for being my doppelganger within WPNZ, except with twice the intelligence & charisma and half the maturity. j/k j/k)
Children of the Revolution (for constantly stroking my ego on Facebook and for having a heart of gold i.e. her social work with HIV/AIDS, etc)
Gravedigger (we seem to often be on the same side in debates, and on top of that he just sounds like an admirable real-life activist as well from the little I know of him)
Dr. Rosenpenis (for liking great music like Fela Kuti, for the most meaningful and spot-on one-liners on the board, says it like it is a lot of the time, for giving me insight into the third world than I'd otherwise have)
Stranger Than Paradise (the most reasonable anarchist, great movie tastes as shown by who he chose for his ~neon avatar~)
Also what hugsandmarxism said, the ~ML block~, Kassad, Glenn Beck and mykittyhasaboner are my favourite users within this block. Glenn Beck is just fucking hilarious
Actually it'd be easier and shorter to list the users I DON'T like
It's what I'm best at. I think I've been causing havoc and bewilderment since about the age of 5.
Stop being a caricature plz
And when Marx says, 'Hitherto the philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways', what that 'hitherto' means is not a renunciation of theory and that all we need to do is wade in with our fists and there will be no more need for thought. This idea is in fact fascist, and it would be grossly unjust to Marx to impute such views on him.
