>>2595733 Very Interesting thread Comrade, some Non-Communist figures that I respect as at the very least Historically Progressive off the top of my head, from farthest in the past to most recent, are: The Gracchi brothers, Spartacus, Al-Khwarizmi, Leonardo da Vinci, Niccolò Machiavelli, Copernicus, Galileo, William Shakespeare, Issac Newton, Voltaire, Thomas Paine, Maximilian Robespierre, Napoleon Bonaparte, Toussaint L'Ouverture (I get that is contradictory to respect both him and Napoleon, but I digress), Henry Hunt, John Brown, Abraham Lincoln, Charles Darwin, Frederick Douglas, Harriet Tubman, Gregor Mendel, Otto Von Bismarck (what he did to the Paris Commune was really bad but his Reunification of Germany was Historically Progressive and he was the first leader to pass Social Security so he helped lay the groundwork for Social Democracy), Theodore Roosevelt (only for his Anti-Trust/Pro-Worker Domestic Policy and his Social Democratic Platform as Progressive Party Nominee in 1912, as his Foreign Policy was very Imperialist and Reactionary), Kaiser
William II (he gave Lenin the train ride to Russia that allowed him to launch the Bolshevik Revolution which created the USSR), Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Sun Yat-sen, FDR, Eisenhower (ended the Korean War, supported the New Deal, sent troops to protect Black/New Afrikan students in Little Rock, Arkansas, and warned people about the Military-Industrial Complex), LBJ (This was one of the hardest names to include on this list, and I listed him only for his Great Society Programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and the Civil Rights Act/Voting Rights Act, as his Foreign Policy was Imperialist, Anti-Communist, and Genocidal, particularly the Vietnam War that he started with the False Flag “Gulf of Tonkin” incident), Watson and Crick (I get that James Watson is an odious Racist Reactionary, but it dose not take away from the fact that he discovered the DNA Double Helix, 😜🧬!), MLK, Richard Nixon (I know this is a controversial inclusion, but he did preserve the New Deal/Great Society programs, attempted to pass UBI and Single-Payer Healthcare, withdrew U$ Troops from Vietnam, initiated detente with the USSR, and met Mao Zedong), Ray Bradbury, Malcom X, Ken Kasey, John Lennon, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, Yasser Arafat, Ranier Knussmann (A Leftist German Physical Anthropologist who was wrongly accused of being a Racist, just because he accepted the Biological concept of Race and published an extremely accurate Racial Typology, he is probably one of the most underrated Scientists of the 20th Century), Bernie Sanders, Ehud Olmert (The only Zionist Prime Minister who offered a serious and fair Two-State Solution to the Zionist-Palestinian Conflict, which is shown in the Maps I posted, and who was removed from power and thrown in Prison by Mossad for doing so), Gavin Newsom, Billie Joe Armstrong (The Frontman of the Rock Band Green Day, whose magnum opus American Idiot is the greatest Album of the 21st Century, and arguably the greatest Album of all Time), David Reich (The Worlds most prominent Population Geneticist who proved the Steppe Theory of Indo-European origins), Sam Altman (only if he really supports UBI and is not a Fraud), Andrew Yang, and AOC, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
