    Lenin was pretty athletic iirc, marx got into a lot of duels but that involved weaponry. I think marx would win most 1v1s if he was given alcohol

    Obviously you're talking about famous leftists, otherwise the answer is some unknown beefy soviet guy.

    The correct answer is obviously Gagarin, being of peak physical ability and with a dream in his heart. yuri

    Prohably either Goku, or my dad.

    Apparently Lenin was a legit weighlifting guy and would bother people about exercise techniques.

    If we're including Red Army enlisted and officer corps or industrial and trade unionists my money's on one of them by virtue of the level of fitness they usually had to be in their positions.

    If it's pure theoreticians, my money's on Lenin.

      It's probably some Olympian from a socialist country who didn't fall asleep in class and isn't a reactionary traitor. That 5 gold medal Cuban wrestler would beat the shit out of the vast majority of leftists.
