The American revolution was historically progressive. It led to the French and Haitian revolutions as well. I don't think we have to single out specific figures, although Thomas Paine was on the radical edge. Jefferson was also a radical who supported the French revolution and yet he owned slaves. By now, capitalism has outlived it's historical usefulness.

What are you trying to say? I think Lenin had useful insights and strategies, but Marxism is a bit broader.
Real Marxists know Marx didn't morally condemn the rich. He wanted the workers to take hold of the productive forces created under capitalism and organize it under a rational basis.

No it's not. They're not trying to build a third party or engage in electoral reform.
There is none. Bernie has passed the torch to AOC whose politics are subordinate to the democrats.
Pick a major you like and you'll never work a day in your life. You'll be unemployed.
Honestly, karma is just for getting started on reddit. Certain subreddits, require your account to exist and have a certain amount of karma to "validate" it. I don't think people care about getting karma beyond that point.

The term Left was literally invented to mean the French Revolutionaries, the people who used the guillotines!
