I vote for Letila.I second that, despite the fact I anticipate them turning up and giving a long and detailed explanation why we are wrong, or a detailed explanation as to why we are right ( and their not, heh ), but anarchism is still superior to our theories in every way, or its not superior, rather its ... * (head explodes across thread)

You know, the usual, ;)

* Who am I kidding, we all love the token anarchist who walks amoung us. :D

He's a billionaire economist....

If he was the most left-wing person in the world, wouldn't he have given all of his money to charity? :p

Not only is he a fanatically radical ultra-extremist, but he's never met a dictator he didn't like. If asked, he could probably think of something kind to say about Hitler.

*Sigh*

How many times do I need to mention to people that I'm kidding. Seriously.

OK. I'll be serious.

I don't know a whole lot about the guy, but when I think "billionaire" I don't usually think "Leftist." What exactly does he do? I've seen his website but I can't be bothered reading it.

I know you were kidding, but on the other hand there are many many billionaires that are leftists. Also leftist is not incompatible with elitists, as witnessed by the fabian socialist movement.

I think all lot of people like soros are draw to the left because they are projecting. In other words, they believe that people are naturally venal and tightfisted, and therefore a compulsory system is needed to redistribute wealth etc., instead of dealing with thier own inner scrooge.

And my vote for most left wing person is Anita Halpin, although I'm not entirely sure her whole organizantion isn't a big practical joke.
