I'm thinking Engels. Responsible, reliable, motivated, has money, knows how to manage it and is incredibly generous (he died with more than he gained from the factory sale despite supporting the whole German/communist underground in London).

Also who'd be worst? Would Marx ever catch up with his chores? Would Che disappear suddenly for months at a time?

(Not a very serious question obviously)

Sankara played guitar and I think he was at least okay at it, so he seems like a decent option.

Trust me, you do not want a roommate who plays instruments.

I get why you'd say that but I roomed with a guitarist before and it was fine.

Ay maybe I just had a bad experience. Dude was bad at guitar, a douche, and brought it out all the time at parties or played loudly when i was trying to focus on other shit.

Oh yeah, those types totally exist, especially at colleges. The guitarist I knew was more of a quiet nerd type, though I think they had more of a social life than I did . . .

This was in college for me, so yes.
