Ok, i just
had to google all their names. Info abstracted from their respective wiki pages and grossly simplified:

- Ropshin Blue -> V. Ropshin, pseudonym used by Boris Savinkov, Russian anti-imperialist revolutionary who organised armed resistance against the Bolsheviks, ie anti-Lenin
- Bakunin Black -> Mikhail Bakunin, Russian revolutionary anarchist, one of the most influential figures in anarchism
- Blanqui Yellow -> Louis Auguste Blanqui, French socialist and political activist, who believed that revolution should be carried out by a small group, who would establish a temporary dictatorship by force, unlike utopian socialists ie Marx
- Lukács Pink -> György Lukács, Hungarian Marxist philosopher who founded Western Marxism, a departure from Soviet Marxist orthodoxy
also:
- Guevaranger -> portmanteau of (Che) Guevara + ranger
