Forfatter og tegner Jakob Martin Strids børnebøger er nogle af landets mest solgte, men hans nye bog – I form med Tapiren! – udsættes for hård kritik af aktivister i Politiken, der kalder den tykfobisk.
Jakob Martin Strid, der i 2012 fik Kronprinsparrets kulturpris, var tidligere et meget aktivt medlem af den militante gruppering Antifascistisk Aktion (AFA).
Strid er ikke et enestående eksempel på en kulturperson, der tidligere var revolutionær.
I dag kan vi møde mange folk på fremtrædende positioner i det danske samfund, der tidligere bevægede sig på den yderliggående militante venstrefløj og sympatiserede med grupperinger som Blekingegadebanden, Folkefronten til Palæstinas Befrielse (PFLP) og Rote Armee Fraktion m.fl.
Foruden almindelige venstrefløjssympatisører er der folk som historikeren Morten Thing, forfatteren Ulrich Horst Petersen, VS’eren Per Bregengaard, de nu afdøde: juraprofessor Ole Krarup, forfatteren Erik Nørgaard og litteraten Jørgen Knudsen, samt mange andre.
Fagforeningskvinden Bente Sorgenfrey, tidligere næstformand i Fagbevægelsens Hovedorganisation og tidligere medlem af Kommunistisk Arbejderparti, og Jørgen Ramskov, tidligere direktør for Radio24syv – har selv sagt, at de dengang øvede sig i at bruge våben eller talte om henrettelser under en revolution.
