The girl reading this.

Lenin was pretty athletic iirc, marx got into a lot of duels but that involved weaponry. I think marx would win most 1v1s if he was given alcohol

Capitalists

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Me because I'm the one true leftist and I'm great at beating myself up

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 days ago

The capitalists would win because the socialists would be all destroying themselves.

[-] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 days ago

Or they'd be confused and copy them while screaming, "competition breeds innovation!"

Prohably either Goku, or my dad.

Apparently Lenin was a legit weighlifting guy and would bother people about exercise techniques.

But let's get real: it'd be every Dolph Lundgren late cold war red scare character.

Obviously you're talking about famous leftists, otherwise the answer is some unknown beefy soviet guy.

The correct answer is obviously Gagarin, being of peak physical ability and with a dream in his heart. yuri

I would win by default because there'd be nobody else in the room

If we're including Red Army enlisted and officer corps or industrial and trade unionists my money's on one of them by virtue of the level of fitness they usually had to be in their positions.

If it's pure theoreticians, my money's on Lenin.

It's probably some Olympian from a socialist country who didn't fall asleep in class and isn't a reactionary traitor. That 5 gold medal Cuban wrestler would beat the shit out of the vast majority of leftists.

Suprised no one's mentioned Monkey D Luffy, Warlord of the seas.

[-] miz@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

the bracket choices and seeding matter a lot.

[-] Dolores@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

there ain't a picture of bill haywood with anyone else where he ain't the biggest one there, hence the name

paul robeson would give him a run for it though

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

John Brown.

And he'd probablly use a giant fucking sword to do it.

[-] Aquilae@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

The One True Leftist

That being me, of course.

[-] RaisedFistJoker@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

prolly fidel right 6 4 and a full on guerilla fighter

[-] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago
[-] hypercracker@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

Depending on whether you think Aleksandr Karelin is a leftist by virtue of being a USSR athlete, probably him

[-] Guamer@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

The ultimate leftist ofc: funny-clown-hammer

[-] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

Probably kropotkin? During his siberia arc?

[-] T34_69@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

Jeff Monson technically exists in the historical record even if he's not deceased... So, probably that guy

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

Hi, Jeff Monson here, do you like watching people get fucked for free?

[-] Beetle_O_Rourke@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

Trotsky, even if only in spirit

[-] Hewaoijsdb@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

Probably a buff Red Army guy

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

All the answers here suck lol. The real answer is a combat sport athlete of a socialist country who paid attention in class and isn't a reactionary at heart. Like, the 5-gold medal Cuban wrestler would beat the shit out of the vast majority of people.
