1) You can only invite four people. The can be living or dead, from any time in history.
2) All previous games don't count anymore. I've played with different rules before, as the party can only be bloggers.
I'll start
Marlon Brando
Astor Piazzolla
Pablo Picasso
Leon Trotsky
RENEGADE EYE

I can't help but like this game and am often intrigued by others' choices.
Bertrand Russell, Martin Luther King Jnr, Noam Chomsky, George Orwell.
You can invite any four people in world history and you choose ugly old men? I'd be thinking some juicy T&A for my diner party.
OK, be good MZ, be good, MZ...
Plato, Nietzsche, Freud and Rhawn Joseph.
Fanny Kaplan, Vladimir Lenin, Charlotte Corday, Marat.
Diogenes of Sinope, Hipparchia, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and Billie Holiday
Caligula, Vlad The Impaler, False Dmitri, George W. Bush.
The question Pagan Temple, is if you would stay for dinner or watch from a prudent distance?
My next question is would our invited guests who are not alive be able to converse, and what stage of decomposition would we find them in?
In any case, my choices are:
Eduardo Galeano, Cixi (Ts'eu-hi), Gramsci, DiVinci
Of course whithout translators, the conversation might get a little cold.
Mad Zionist: I was too politically correct. I forgot Petra Nemcova.
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Arundhati Roy, Tariq Ali and Shabana Azmi
Oliver Cromwell, Bill Hicks, John Kennedy Toole (if only to tell him to keep the faith and keep on writing)and Messalina
My guy list: Moses, Mohamed, Jesus, Buddha
I invite: Jean Baudrillard, Marquis de Sade, Monica Bellucci, and Samuel Beckett.
Sontin-I would stay for dinner. Remember, it would only be the four of them, they would presumably not be allowed to bring their guards or other thugs, so it would be safe.
Since I arrive upon this conversation with a lurid appetite for the absurd:
Anetta Keyes
Moses Maimonides
Ferdowsi
Norman Thomas
My list? Andre Breton, Oscar Wilde, Emma Goldman and Flora Tristan.
Nina Simone, Douglas Adams, Buenaventura Durruti, and Nat Turner.
Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, Leonidas of Sparta, and Britney Spears.
Britney Spears? Before the haircut I'm sure.
Leon Trotsky, Malcolm X, Rosa Luxemburg and M.F.K. Fisher.
John, Paul, George...er...John Bonham
Can I do two? I want one dinner party where the conversation is about food:
MFK Fisher, Anthony Bourdain, Alton Brown and Jeffrey Steingarten.
I'll let them decide where/what we eat.
Geoffrey Chaucer
Ben Jonson
Henryk Sienkiewicz
Adam Mickiewicz
A bottle of Grey Goose with cool spring water chaser. I could actually communicate with these people.
hmm..I like that you can choose living or dead. That makes the dinner a lot more fun.
Gandhi, Nietzsche, Mohammed (I've got some real good questions for that guy...) and whoever it was that first invented/made rum. There would be some good debates. And rum.
Nadia-since you are going to have rum, with Mohammed as a guest, might as well go all out for the diner and serve ham, with a nice pineapple glaze.
Jesus Christ, Karl Marx, Abraham Lincoln, and Che Guevara.
Bald Britney reminds me of my little sister's Barbie dolls after they were conscripted into my GI Joe strike team and were given flattops in basic training.
Muhahahaha.
Okay, kick her out of the dinner party and invite General John J. "Nigger Jack" Pershing instead.
Not if you do vacations, if you them do that you enjoy them, I wait that this all good for city, regards of your friends of Reus Catalunya
Gaudi, Dali, Picasso and Chaplin
Che Guevara, Huey Newton, Nina Simone,Comandante Ramona
Nelson Mandela, Noam Chomsky, Gorbatchov, Manuel de Dieguez.
I already met Gorbatchov when I was a university student but I'd like to meet him another time.
French/ US relationships: as you all know, Nicolas Sarkozy is on vacation in the US and he met Bush today. Here is the latest poll:
- 40% of the French prefer that the relations between both of these countries stay the way they are
- 26% would like that France distance itself from the US
- 33% want that the relations between France and the US get tight
They are preparing something for sure, I guess it's about time to do a new revolution in France.
Politiques: France is still part of "Old Europe"? You don't hear about freedom fries anymore.
I wld call Gandhi, Mata Hari, Cherie Blair and Hitler. Faithful Battle-crow will be butler.
Grigori Rasputin, Curly Howard, Jack Kerouac and Sarah Silverman
Bertolt Brecht, Ibrahim Kaypakkaya, Nina Simone and Ella Baker.
And I might invite Trotsky to ask why at every significant point of line struggle in the Soviet Union Trotsky was "out sick" and then conceded to Stalin.
I do believe Trotsky underestimated Stalin. He thought Lenin would take of the problem when he recovers.
Trotsky could have used the military against Stalin, but didn't because it would unleash anti-communist forces.
Trotsky had to go on an unexpected trip to Turkey.
Joan Baez, Catherine the Great, Spinoza, Lily Tomlin
Cool answers.
Plato, Rumi, Ghandi and Lao Tze
Kurt Vonnegut
George Orwell
Ron Atkinson
Ramsay Macdonald
tina modotti, emma goldman, che guevara, serovino giovanni
Glenda: I wish you had your own blog. Your group blog is hard to sign in on. Your old blog was very good.
Welcome Maria/Maria.
we play this all the time at our house!
Yeshua - for the obvious
adolph hitler - to get into his sick mind
sean connery - eye candy
michael moore - we'll need someone to eat the food while the rest of us converse...i don't like waste...
1) Robespierre
2) Karl Marx
3) Friedrich Engels
4) Bertolt Brecht
Not quite sure about Robespierre, seems like the odd one out.
Well thats why I dont have a side in the Stalin/Trotsky debate. They both suck.
Hmmmmmmmm...probably:
V.I. Lenin
Leon Trotsky
Ted Grant
Dimitri Shostakovich
Karl Marx, age 50, Jesus, age 30, Stalin, age 60 and Hedy Lamarr, age 35.
-Leon Trotsky
-An icepick
-A survivor of the Kronstadt massacre
-Some hand-wringing student wanker to provide comic relief and mop up the blood afterwards
Ned: There are anarchists who support Trotsky's decisions at Kronstadt.
I would like to know who those anarchists are, Ren. Not that I want to get into a fight with you over Krondstadt (or Makhno, for that matter.) For me unity of all revolutionary tendencies takes precedence over what "your guys did to our guys 90 years ago." It is important what people do now, not the past.
No inter-revolutionary squabbling allowed until AFTER the revolution!
Then, may the bolder assassin win!
I appreciate you joke, Farmer, however this need not happen if the great majority of forces have reached agreement on some sort of common program beforehand. And today there is more of a convergence of ideas among socialists and anarchists than I have ever seen in 42 years of activism.
Shakespeare
Marx - (Karl and Groucho - counts as one!)
James Joyce
and
William Blake
Andre Breton, Sylvia Pankhurst,
Viktor Alter, Simone Signoret
Scarlett Johannson, Halle Berry, Uma Thurman, and Janeane Garafolo.
