1. He wasn't merely a genius. He was a wonderful humanitarian and human being.
Too bad the history books ONLY talk about his theories and NEVER his human-ness.

He was a remarkable person.

2. Agree.
This is obviously a teaser, and a little hard to follow, but I loved the accompaniment with a Mozart piece.

5. Thanks. For a more complete undertanding of his views,see "Why Socialism?"

It will be hard to find a better statement of the differences between progressives and right-wingers. It's not written for the stupid, so don't bother sending it out to the dittoheads, but read it carefully. The quotes in the video are much more than cute aphorisms when you understand his overall value system and beliefs.

(And, as a note, the pause button is a great help with some of the longer quotes.)
