No, Thomas Paine actually

No, Thomas Paine actually advocated socialism. Read his later pamphlets and letters like Agrarian Justice.

Thomas Paine was pushed by the marxists for a long time, and it wasn't just because he was an atheist like them.

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
