I just want to put this thread on to let people tell us who they considers as the most "influential" political or historical figures. You can name as many people as you

I will start with Codenlizza Rice the secrateray of State. It is not because she is secretary of state , It is because she is an Intellectual woman. I am fascinated by her knowledge and she represent what we call Intelligencia. Condi is a role model for me .

Barack Obama. I dont want to elaborate on him for respect to John Mccain suppoters

Francois Mitterand the late french president .

Margeritt tchatcher former british prime minister

Rene Descates French Philosophe and mathematician

John Paul the second ( the late pope)

Larry King , yes I think is an historical figure .

John F. Kennedy

Victor Hugo French novelist

Martin luther King Jr

I rather stop here

A political figure that has made an impact I think is Hillary Clinton. She showed women and minorities how far someone can get when they believe in it and that sexism is slowly dying out. Hillary Clinton is one of the greatest political figures the United States has today.

**EM68** · 13th Jul 2008, 03:45 PM

There are a number of people that I can think of. Some of the top of my mind are Ronald Reagan, Mandela, Pope John Paul II, Bill Gates (for want he as done for PC's), Martin Luther King, JFK. I could go on for quite a while.

Off the top of my head, Thomas Jefferson is the single political/historical figure that has had a great influence on my thinking.

Well , I will go with Staline even though is was a committing a lot of crime. I m only impress by the way he rebuilt the soviet Union. The reconstruction of the soviet Union after the end of the revolution in 1917 is the most fascination part of the soviet history. The way Staline put back the country on track with is famous plan called " the 5 steps plan"

Thomas Hobbes. He was incredibly influential in the development of our current political/societal structure (social contract and whatnot). He had a huge hand in developing democracy as we know it.

Adam Smith, considered the father of capitalism. I don't really think I need to elaborate.

Karl Marx/Freidrich Engels, for the development of communism.

Barack Obama.

The Catholic church from between 800 CE to the early 1900's
George W. Bush (not in a good way)
Marx & Engels
The Kennedys
The Clintons
Winston Churchill
Teddy Roosevelt
Mussolini, Hitler
Joseph McCarthy

Bryan90 · 14th Jul 2008, 08:42 AM

(Chronological)
Alexander the Great - hellenistic civilization (first signs of multiculturalism)

Martin Luther - the 95 Theses that inspired the reformation (questioning the authoritarian religionists)

Sultan Murad II/Mehmed II/Suleiman I - Sultans of Ottoman Empire (showing the closed minded religionists that they are not protected by "God" & can be credited for establishing multicultural mindsets)

Hoppip · 14th Jul 2008, 08:52 AM

Karl Heinrich Ulrichs

He was a cool guy. I realized after my research on Wikipedia that like, the majority of gay rights activity was in Germany by Germans.

W00t.

But the most influential... Hmm...

Einstein definitely, and Martin Luther King Jr.

But then again, if they never did what they did, SOMEONE would have. At least in my opinion. But they're still definitely influential.
