Your top revolutionary leaders/activists/Groups

Just starting a lightish thread
Who are your top revolutionary leaders/activists/Groups.Feel free to go into as little or as much detail as you like.
mine would be
Otto Strasser-A man of conviction to both his nation and peoples intrests and firmly belived in the idea/cause was more importiant than the leader.
Honest John Lilbern-He was honest so honest they made sure in the end he would never at the end
Edward Sexbe-similar to Strasser he belived in the Idea and refused to allow the Revolution to fizzle out just becuse Cromwell had had enough
The Levellers-as above and would not accept the rich takeing over from the monarchy
Herward the wake-Leading the English resitance against the Normans until the bastard accepted English peoples born rights (even though william didnt in the end)
Oswald Mosley-A facist yes and his idead of leadership and government are unacceptable during his early BUF days he was an awsome orator and some of his ideas did have the British peoples future at heart.

Over to you Comrades

The socialist figures and movements I find most inspiring are as follows:


*Karl Marx - His critique of capital remains unsurpassed.
*Friedrich Engels - Without his contribution to the critique of political economy, it's doubtful Marxism would have developed to great extent it did.
*Pierre-Joseph Proudhon - What is Property? is one of the most important critiques of exploitative property ever written.
*Mikhail Bakunin - A brilliant critic of capitalism who also presented the most compelling case for anarchism I've ever read (though I remain unconvinced of its desirability and feasibility).
*Noam Chomsky - By far the most intelligent socialist philosopher in contemporary history.
*Georges Sorel - The most erudite revolutionary theoretician in history.
*Ernst Niekisch - Though I obviously consider the authoritarian aspects of his National Bolshevik ideology to be disagreeable, he deserves credit for revising Marxian theory in accordance with nationalist principles.
*G. A. Cohen - His impressive analytical defense of Marxism and critique of capitalism render Prof. Cohen one of the leading socialist philosophers, in my opinion.
*Jaroslav Vanek - The most persuasive advocate of market socialism I've read.
*Michael Albert - Albert's case for market abolitionism forever changed my outlook on political economy.



*Vladimir Lenin - A rather obvious candidate for greatest socialist revolutionary in history.
*Buenaventura Durruti - One of the most inspiring anarchist figures from the Spanish Civil War.
*Nicola Bombacci - He made the ultimate sacrifice assisting in the establishment of a genuinely socialist and nationalist republic in Salò.
*Ho Chi Minh - His nationalism and anti-imperialism should serve as inspiration to us all.
*Ernesto Guevara - A brave guerrilla fighter and dedicated revolutionary.



*The Spanish Anarcho-Syndicalism Revolution - I have a very personal attachment to the struggle for liberation the CNT-FAI led in Spain.
*The Paris Commune - The first mass socialist uprising (which was tragically overthrown by the forces of reaction).
*Robert Owen's New Harmony Community - Though hopelessly utopian in its aspirations, and administered in a paternalistic and highly inefficient manner, New Harmony was a vital experiment in social change.
