Left wing boy baby name ideas?!

Hi- does anyone have any left wing historical/political boys name ideas? I'm having a boy in August and after some ideas!
My DH is French so ideally the name needs to work in French too...

Thanks!

I agree with Keir - it really springs to mind and I think I'd assume a left wing family with that name but would it work in French?

Our surname is Marx so... I just came for ideas really. My names were given to me from the Bible from my Christian parents- I'm an atheist myself but don't mind that they wanted me to have those at birth. Thanks for all the ideas!

surname is Marx and you're still looking for something more left wing, really Hmm

If you pick Keir as suggested he would be K Marx, to do that you'd have to have pretty strong beliefs.

I like the red theme so would like to suggest "Adam" meaning son of the red earth. A bit less obvious when combined with Marx as a surname.
