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
as much as I love Robespierre as a historical figure in the 'doing the shit that needs to be done' department, the guy was very anti left. the blooming beginings of French socialism and feminism had begun, and he absolutely tried to stamp those out
