One of my thesis papers in college was on the Political and Socioeconomic similarities between TJ and Marx; I took the ten presumed points of a communist revolution that Marx details in The Manifesto and (IMO) showed that Jefferson would have agreed with 7 of them, mildly disagreed with two, and only outright hated one (the creation of a national bank, which obviously he hated because Hamilton was a lousy person and the control would've been in the hands of the bourgeoisie and not the proletariat). Anyway, long story short, I've been enamored with Jefferson and his awesomeness ever since.

TIL that there's lava on the moon.
