Leftists, who are your heroes?

[Votto]

Just wondering.

Personally, I have trouble thinking of any historical Left wing figure who is admirable, but you can give it a shot.

Based on media coverage, I would say George Floyd is probably the greatest hero among the left today.

Well, we don't want to speak for them.

Then again, they may not be able to respond.

It is genuinely that difficult for them I think.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Their greatest hero of all time.

 

[rightwinger]

George Soros
Great American

You need a link in your OP.

Forum rules.

 

[Marener]

Heroes are for children. Grow up.

 

[g5000]

Hey libtards.

Unless you mention Karl Marx, anyone else you say is your hero will be met with, "NUH-UH!"

Save your breath.

You're welcome.

You're still here?

And you've devolved into late stage self-parody I see.

Is he your choice?

Thats probably because you have limited historical perspective on what is "left" or "right".

Once a Liberal Icon, Jefferson’s Now Claimed by Both Left and Right

How can that be? People believe what they want to believe.

www.historynewsnetwork.org

ideas that at one point or another were "left wing":

Constitutional Democracy
Abolishment of slavery
Personal Rights
Federalism
Freedom of speech
Women's voting rights
Interventionalism
Pacifism
Public Education
Public Infrastructure
Social Security
Medicaid/Medicare
Minimum wage
Worker rights
Public transportation


The list is very long and most eventually internalized by rightwingers as some sort of a-political, or rightwing ideas.

 

[AntonToo]

Yep, right on cue.

 

[martybegan]

Yep, right on cue.

The truth always hurts.

I just call you clods Marxists to avoid the whole "fuh fuh fuh, true Communism has never been tried, fuh fuh fuh" retorts.

Predictable.

 

[marvin martian]

Assuming rightwinger and g5000 are being sarcastic, it appears the left have no heroes. Or, at least, none they're willing to admit to.

About a decade ago, some guys where I work were talking about heroes. Mostly it was just stupid...about Marvel superheroes and stuff, but some hunters at the idea of real heroes. And one guy finally asked me "Hey, Bothwings. Who are your heroes?" And I told him with strong calm confidence, "I really don't have any." The look of shock and awe and childlike disappointment in his face was SO satisfying. And probably would not have been if I had not been 95% serious.

No it doesn't.

It's just that to idiots like you truth is whatever you want it to be.

Never seen any lefties praise dictators like Mao or Stalin. Never seen Democrats write love letters to despots like Kim.

Does it stop you from posting your bullshit? Nope! You believe whatever the **** you want to.

Wait.

One part I don't get.

They called you by your US Message Board screen name?

Yes, it does. Leftist loons are the group that put Mamdani in the position of likely NY Mayor. He’s a card carrying Marxist extolling all the attributes of Marxist ideology.
