    Thomas Jefferson. At the end of the 19th century, American capitalists triumphed over the Jeffersonian view of an economy resting on widely distributed wealth among small farmers and local traders. However, that view of what America should be is still intensely popular among the people. Talking about Marx or Trotsky only makes the average American nervous--but Jefferson is the window into their souls.

    Lenin and Fidel for making it work,

    Carlos 'The Jackal' and Che for putting it into action even though they may not have succeded...

    Thomas Jefferson.

    Jefferson was a hypocritical bastard who said that all men were born equal, but had no problem with the fact that he kept slaves.

    James Connolly would be my favourite leftist.

    new democracy: first see REAL news then speak ok? you think that Mandela´s the hero? How mant villages were burned by his troops? Does he really cared for his people? and anti-black? Your stupid! if i was anti-black i would not give a dam abou them! and actually i give! Africa is the folloing: theres a repressive state, then a revolution starts, but does the people start it? NO! some war Lords start it, call themselfs Marxist and kill children and women! I know some men that fought in the colonial wars (1969-1975) and do you think that the rebels who they fought against were Marxists? NO! they called themselfs Maxist, but do you know what was theyr tactic agains Portuguese troops? they send women to the front so the portuguese shoot the women wile they escape! I am not defending Portugal during that war, we m,ade crimes of war as well! and maby the motherfuckere here is you since you defend those bastards! go ask the Angolan people what they think of those "perfect" marxists! but dont expect a friendly answer!
