You ever notice that you always idolize people who lose, the martyrs, who never actually got to build a lasting egalitarian and anticapitalist project? But the historical figures (as well as the masses behind them, the true protagonists of history) who do achieve the feat of building an alternative to capitalism that has a fighting chance get nothing but revulsion and condemnation?
