  Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, known by his revolutionary name Lenin, was a pivotal figure in Russian history and a key architect of the Soviet Union. Born on April 22, 1870, in Simbirsk, Russia, Lenin came from an upper-middle-class family. His life and legacy are closely intertwined with the establishment of the first socialist state in the modern world. From 1917 until his death in 1924, Lenin served as the head of government of Soviet Russia, and later the Soviet Union, where he oversaw the transformation of the country into a one-party socialist state ruled by the Communist Party. 
  Lenin’s path to power was shaped by both personal tragedy and intellectual transformation. The execution of his older brother, Alexander, in 1887 for attempting to assassinate Tsar Alexander III profoundly impacted Lenin, pushing him toward revolutionary socialist ideas. In his youth, Lenin showed promise as a student but was expelled from Kazan Imperial University for his involvement in anti-Tsarist protests. He subsequently pursued a legal degree, which laid the groundwork for his later work as a political theorist. By 1893, he had moved to Saint Petersburg, where he became deeply involved in Marxist activism, organizing workers and intellectuals against the oppressive Tsarist regime.

  Utilitarianism is a moral theory that was developed by British philosopher John Stuart Mill in the 19th century. According to Mill, the ethical basis for decision-making should be the greatest happiness or pleasure for the greatest number of people. This principle is also known as the "greatest happiness principle." 
  Mill believed that human happiness was the ultimate goal of morality and that actions should be judged according to their ability to promote happiness. He argued that actions that bring about the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest number of people are morally right, while actions that lead to pain or suffering are morally wrong. 
  Mill believed that happiness should be measured by the amount of pleasure that people experience, and he distinguished between two types of pleasure: higher pleasures and lower pleasures. Higher pleasures are those that are associated with the intellect, such as the pursuit of knowledge or the appreciation of art, while lower pleasures are those that are associated with the body, such as the satisfaction of hunger or the gratification of sexual desire. According to Mill, higher pleasures are more desirable than lower pleasures because they are more intellectual and have a more lasting impact on a person's happiness. 
  Mill's utilitarianism has been influential in many areas of philosophy, including ethics, political philosophy, and social theory. His emphasis on the importance of promoting the happiness of the greatest number of people has been used to justify a wide range of policies and practices, including democracy, public health measures, and the redistribution of wealth. However, Mill's theory has also been criticized for its focus on pleasure and its potential to justify actions that are harmful to minorities or individuals.

  Simón Bolívar, born Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar, was a prominent Venezuelan military and political leader who played a pivotal role in the liberation of several South American countries from Spanish colonial rule. Bolívar's full name, a reflection of the Spanish naming tradition, encompassed multiple middle names, highlighting his family's social status. His leadership and vision helped Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Bolivia secure their independence from the Spanish Empire during the early 19th century. 
  Bolívar was born into a wealthy, aristocratic family in Caracas, Venezuela. As was customary for the sons of affluent families at the time, he was sent abroad to receive his education. Initially, he traveled to Spain and later to France, where he encountered Enlightenment ideals that deeply influenced his political and philosophical beliefs. These ideas, particularly the notions of liberty and self-determination, fueled his desire to rid Latin America of Spanish control. Bolívar’s campaign for independence began in earnest in 1808, seizing the opportunity presented by the political instability in Spain caused by the Napoleonic Wars. This chaos allowed Bolívar and other revolutionaries to push forward their independence efforts.
