Thomas Sankara

>>1953732
I don't know how successful I would consider Sankara on account of his getting killed while in office. Also because Burkina Faso is like the absolute poorest country in the world now.

That's now, that "party" that assassinated him gave power to the new "successor" and the country went down the drain.

pretty pathetic how much /r/socialism puts this guy on a pedestal desu acting like he would been the second coming for Africa

It's funny how all the marxist heroes are those who died early and didn't have the time to implement any of their reforms.

Really makes you think.

Subcomandante Marcos

Does anarchist belief count?

He was a complete meme who came to power via coup, killed his political rivals via stalinist show trials.

Most of his reforms were purely aesthetic and made little difference to actual living standards. His plan of not paying denbts would have been a disaster.

>all them fascists that didnt even last a generation
At least they were able to start a war and get fucked in the boipucci

>>1954370
How can one man look so based?

>>1954436
Because he isn't one man, he's a symbol.

>>1954404
Do you have facts on the living standards?
He helped vaccinate 2.5 million people, gave land to the peasants and increased wheat production by more than double.

He's the only one really

He did fucked up in the end though

>>1954555
Please elaborate

>>1954565
He didn't had any plans whatsoever for his country to do after his death. And after he died, corruption and nationalism killed his country.

>>1954581
How did he fuck up then? he was assassinated by another party..

>>1954565
By giving nationalists a platform to tear apart the country. He created (national) parliaments for the federal states of Yugoslavia, which all eventually declared independence. This could have been avoided by dividing Yugoslavia into small provinces, with a strong centralized government.

>>1954598
He wasn't assassinated

>>1954675
I thought you were talking about Thomas Sankara, my mistake.

who is in your pic? >>1954555

Thats Tito, he was the benevolent God of postwar united Yugoslavia. Ran a genuinely successful socialist state and kept both the USSR and USA at an arm's length. There are a ton of anecdotes about Stalin repeatedly trying and failing to have him killed.

Pretty cool guy but yeah as the Anon said, he fucked up by not securing a legacy and by letting nationalist sentiments arise.

>>1954756

Tito was based, in that he hated Nazis and Stalin.

I miss the man.
