Guevara easily. Kaczynski recognized many issues with the world but blamed it on technological progress rather than the system driving that technological progress and then used it as an excuse to murder people. He wasn't even very good at the murdering and mostly killed people he did not intend to. Luigi is ideologically confused but iconic for his (alleged) propaganda of the deed. I like him but he isn't an influence on me. Guevara helped lead a successful revolution that vastly improved the lives of the vast majority of cubans forever. He has contributed to an incalculable good for hundreds of thousands of people. He then became a leftist icon and integral part of so many guerilla movements that were so threatening that the US contracted help from a former nazi to find and kill him. They then attempted to hide is corpse in an unmarked grave in the jungle. It's not a hard choice. Thats not even mentioning his valuable humanitarian work outside of Cuba and his work within the Cuban government as treasurer.

Despite hearing Che Guevera's name sometimes, I've never known anything about them. These seem really cool, it's worthy for a good history podcast about his acts.
