Spartacs was a hard motherfucker. All the latin sources praise him even if he was a slave for his smartness and ability. When Crassus was sent to fight his slave army (which at its peak was some 100000 men) his men were so scared he had to adopt a strategy where the soldiers would be more scared of Crassus himself than of the Spartacus army (by decimations and mass killings). In the last fight some of the greatest roman generals were there, Pompeius, Lucullus and Crassus.
The bad thing is that he didn't really have a plan and this made his war lose momentum since the slaves had absolutely no structural opposition to the empire and were divided among what to do.

What have Marxist thinks said about Spartacus?
I been meaning to make a thread about him but I don't know much to have a good discussion point.
Henry Miller
Not really an answer to your qeustion but I feel spartacus is not really in line with marxism. His goal and the goal of those who followed him was just freeing themselves; when they arrived at Modena and dindn't know what to do the movement began to crumble. Some wanted to go home, some to assault rome, some to go to other places ecc the complete lack of structural analysis made them not think about slavery as wrong, they were just just revolting against their personal conidition of slavery.

This part sounds pretty good actually. We should be trying to associate socialism with liberation and self-liberation.
Cooper Hernandez
They are already associated, it's called anarchism.
Kayden Thompson
Marxism is already the concerned with the liberation of the proletariat and on much better theoretical grounds
Robert Hughes
I'm talking about in the minds of the average proles, ya dinguses.
Ian Allen
sounds good but imho it's pretty shit because it offers no alternative. They didn't offer structural liberation so the whole system of slavery would have remained. Basically once frred a man could be re enslaved by debt for example.
Jason Ramirez
My nigga.
Then do that by going out and organizing where the average prole is.
He said "liberation and self-liberation", this explicitly states that liberation isn't solely inclusive of an individual.
