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.

        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.
