Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

What about Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix?
ESPECIALLY SULLA
You have to admit the one good thing he did is give up power
That makes him an idealist, not a good person.
Unfortunately, his ideals were "All power to the aristocracy, the poors need to learn their place"
I do thank him for giving me a good republican-era Roman example of lifelong same-sex sexual relationship, though. Retiring with Metrobius to a nice Mediterranean isle would be cute if Sulla wasn't a TYRANT
