There would be a lot of other names (e.g. Guevara, Trotsky, Mitterrand…) but I want to mention only some people who are representative of different important socialist currents. My choice is
questionable, obviously.

I like Rosa Luxembourg. She had some good ideas, but overall I am not really a socialist.

I forgot one: the Dalai Lama. :)

I'll second that one. Love that guy! I subscribe to his twitter feed and get his tweets on my cell phone. He hasn't...(whats the past tense of tweet? tweeted? twittered? twitteed? twaught?)...anything for a couple of days though. Used to wake up to some of his advice every day. The latest one was: "If we seek happiness for ourselves, we should practice compassion: and if we seek happiness for others, we should also practice compassion."

On a side note, I guess I kind of like Trotsky. He's the Brainy Smurf to Karl Marx's Poppa Smurf.

Yeah, I get his messages on my FB news feed. He is definitely the man. :p

From the list Marx and Orwell. Lennin is OK, but not one of my favorites.
Not on the list are Trotsky, Engels, and Hunter S. Thompson.

Although not one of the giants of socialism, the late English journalist Paul Foot was very very good.

I voted for Marx. I am from the ancient communist Europe and in my school map it still says K.M.stadt
