Agreed, his Meditations are one of my favorite works.

The essay was described as his testament, so it became a book named Testament. I used to be an Agnostic but after reading his book I became an Atheist. Meslier's work influenced people like Michel Onfray and Voltaire, however, Voltaire twisted Meslier's book and wrote a different version to promote his deist views, which made me lose a lot of respect for him.
Besides Meslier, some others include FDR, Abraham Lincoln, MLK, Daryl Davis, Bernie Sanders, Kyle Kulinski, Thaddeus Stevens, and Vermin Supreme.
Vermin Supreme could be considered a political figure as he has ran for president repeatedly so he is on my list as well.

Guy actually have an IQ of 200, is a brilliant aerospace engineer, solved the brutal 1997 Asian Financial Crisis in like a year, prevented the balkanization of Indonesia, pioneered regional decentralization, turned a hopelessly corrupt military dictatorship into a democratic republic, but was then booted out of office and disgraced by the corrupt parliament after he allowed East Timor to gain independence (after 20 years of brutal Indonesian subjugation that left 100.000 dead). His love life with his wife, Ainun, is also a great and touching romance story that had been made into books and films.

Because he cut taxes and let the American economy simply flourish via laissez faire policies, resulting in one of the strongest periods of economic growth in the entire history of this country. He kept the nation at peace and stayed independent from foreign entanglements and was also an early advocate of civil rights, free immigration and racial equality.

Pretty much all of the Situationist International, which is funny because they were silly leftcoms.
Not entirely "political," but Jesus Christ. Christ comes before any politcal figure.
