We know the heads of Marxism are usually Marx, Engels and Lenin, often plus Stalin and Mao.

But who would be the five heads of revolutionary liberalism (before it became a totally bankrupt, anti-emancipatory, status quo project)?

My suggestion: John Locke, Thomas Paine, Robespierre, Toussaint, & Simon Bolivar

Also considered: Oliver Cromwell and Garibaldi

Probably it would end with like Bernie or some libshit like that, beside him is probably some European libshit like Macron, then like three older presidents of maybe Sweden or something

I wouldn't consider them revolutionaries, but if you extend into the moribund period of liberalism then for sure
