He's got good stats, but for pure courgage and humanity, I give the vote to Eugene V. Debs (http://www.allsands.com/History/People/eugenevdebsbi_avg_gn.htm).

Jerome Increase Case.

Though not a socialist, Case's company produced the first factory-integrated tractor loader/backhoe in 1959. Called the model 320, the machine was the forefather of the units used to dig the mass graves that have become the hallmark of socialists worldwide.

And his great defender Clarence Darrow.

Upon graduating from college and getting his legal degree, in 1887, his first move was to go to Chicago where he fought to free Anarchists who were charged with murder in the Haymarket Riot. In the late 1800's, the citizens of Chicago were victim to vicious police brutality and of the Capitalists who exploited the working class. In defiance of this state-instituted cruelty, Anarchists gathered. When police officers came to pacify the Anarchists, a bomb was thrown at the police officers. The police officers responded by shooting at the crowd randomly, killing George Engel, Samuel Fielden, Adolph Fischer, Louis Lingg, Oscar Neebe, Albert Parsons, Michael Schwab, and August Spies. When several Anarchists were charged with the crime of assaulting police officers, Clarence Darrow took their case and defended them.


"In spite of all the yearnings of men, no one can produce a single fact or reason to support the belief in god and in personal immortality." -- article in The Sun magazine, May, 1938.
In September 1905, Darrow joined with Jack London, Upton Sinclair, and Florence Kelley to form the Intercollegiate Socialist Society. Later, Darrow became counsel of the North Western Railway. With such a position, it would not been long before he was rich, but he left his position to take the case of Eugene V. Debs in 1907. In this case, he was defending unionists who were arrested in a strike. He took the case without pay, understanding the vital importance of Socialism to the progression of a humane thought. Also in 1907, he defended radical "Big Bill" Haywood, who had been charged in the assassination of a former Idaho governer.


"Can anyone with intelligence really believe that a child born today should be doomed because the snake tempted Eve and Eve tempted Adam? To believe that is not God-worship; it is devil-worship." - Why I Am An Agnostic, and Other Essays, page 16.
