We claim to live and die equal, the way we were born: we want this real equality or death; that’s what we need.
And we’ll have this real equality, at whatever price. Unhappy will be those who stand between it and us! Unhappy will be those who resist a wish so firmly expressed.
The French Revolution was nothing but a precursor of another revolution, one that will be bigger, more solemn, and which will be the last.

Rather than some pedantic study of -isms or Great Individual™ bio-flick you may be more inspired by seeing labor struggle in action. With that in mind: Harlan County, USA is one of the finest films, let alone documentary, ever made. A more recent effort called the Take shows attempts at direct action and self-management.
Edit: the revolutionary left = hive mind?
Lol nice
