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

liberal revolutionary=/=good; it just means they represent the new upcoming class against the old ruling class
My thought was Cromwell established, though not long term, a government breaking with the feudal order.
Cromwell fucked it up so bad they still have a king
True and bleak. Most countries formerly governed by ML parties are now led by capitalists. Let's hope their resurgence doesn't have the same longevity as the British monarchy.
he is undeniably the only leader to institute a formal codified constitution in Britain after the violent deposition of the monarchy, and his actions cemented the eventualities of the sovreignity of parliament. Washinton owned slaves, most French revolutionaries did not think too highly of the Haitian revolution, and Cromwell brutalised a rebelling Ireland. liberals do not see the contradiction in their ideals of maintaining the colonial order along side the claim all men are equal and free
