1) Rosa Luxemburg (because she's a left-wing and feminist hero).
2) Florence Welch (because she's my favourite musician).
3) Brian Cox (doesn't need explaining).
4) Buenaventura Durruti (because he fought fascists and seems interesting).
5) Emma Goldman (see others' arguments about forces of nature. She was one of said forces).

Allende, Jesus and Orwell could come as +1s, if they wanted to.

Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

FLORENCEEEEEE! BRIAAAAAN! I approve of your choices. *nods* :p

I totally forgot about Rosa and Orwell, really. But yeah, they would be pretty nice to have over for dinner.
EDIT: And how could I forget to at least mention Shakespeare?

Hmm how about a Pot Luck with Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsey, Rachael Ray, Bobby Flay, and Wolfgang Puck

Or better yet Jesus, Mohamed, Buddha, Laozi, and Moses for the religious debate to end them all.

1. JFK
2. Lee Harvey Oswald
3. Abraham Lincoln
4. John Wilkes Booth

the first 4 because you could hear both sides of the story, and the 5th because it sounds like something he would enjoy and make funny.

Glad I rate. I could not limit myself to just five NSers. There are too many people here that are worthy.

I had to cut out quite a lot of people. But I think this setup is quite diverse and able to hold a decent conversation.
