He wasn’t a socialist or communist in any way but he did liberate oppressed people throughout Latin America. I’m truly not sure if he’s a man who’s favorable among socialists and communists. By the way, today is his birthday.

    Good enough for his time. Although he primarily fought to liberate the colonial middle mangers from their Spanish overlords and become master of the spoils - similar to Haiti - and in a sense he helped promote the french conquest of latam that thankfully never materialized due to the monore doctrine.

    Gran Colombia was a progressive force that could have prevented yankee domination but alas due to the limitations of technology it was never going to work out.
