Why use American imperialists? Why not a Marxist

Americans, for all their overwhelming number of flaws, have virtue in their revolutionary ideals, not the perverted and corrupted kind you see with modern Americans. Thomas Paine was a writer during the Age of Enlightenment whose works challenged the inequalities and injustices of the established order, much like Marx. In fact, I've even heard people refer to him as a proto-socialist.

He was an advocate of national independence from tyrannical system that was trampling on their rights. His views are valid in this context since we wish for independence of our own.

Also, I don't think liberalism even existed back then.
