Bring him back, show him Trump and his cabal of failsons lighting his lifetime of work on fire in a matter of days, send him back to hell, repeat. 
This is the kind of stuff I come to hexbear for
is still alive though lol
Lol dang I should've looked her up, I thought that was Lyudmila Pavlichenko
And became cringe.
10/10 perfect list
Perfection
my dad :(
As many verified genocide victims in Palestine as possible
This is the correct answer. But if I have enough time, I'd resurrect Marx, Lenin, Mao, Joe Strummer, and Mitch Hedberg.
The founder/main figure of every single religion all coming back to life simultaneously would be very funny
Gonna bring back all the people who have claimed to be Jesus and have them do a battle royale. Then I'm gonna do the same for all people who claim Cleopatra and similar figures as having been "a past life".
Wasn't there an experiment in an asylum with 3 people who thought they were Jesus, and they ended up getting along great, with one of them saying "That guy's actually John the Baptist"?
Then I'm gonna do the same for all people who claim Cleopatra and similar figures as having been "a past life".
You just unlocked a hidden childhood memory of mine where a private tutor did crystal dowsing in front of my parents to determine whether I had strong energy and could perform well with their catchup tutoring. Absolute kook. Not the best sales pitch in the world as he did not get that job.
Lmao now you unlocked one for me.
My mom once got remote healing. While she was receiving it our dog knocked over a lamp and when I went to tell her she panickally yelled "DONT DISTURB ME, IM BEING HEALED". I just wanted to let her know because it was her favourite lamp.
The healing didn't work either sadly
Lol
I remember telling my parents he seemed like he needed to try Banks's beer afterwards because these ads were running at the time where Banks' was selling itself as the beer kooks need to drink: https://youtu.be/AGtTmp6OqIU
Keep in mind I would have been under 10 at the time so they found that hilarious.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
How are they brought back? Are they fully-formed and youthful again? Because I have enough skeletons angry at me already. 
Lets assume they come back in the top of their prime. Peak of their skills.
Only in the way that if you don't specify a cause they die of a heart attack in Death Note.
You should be able to bring back Henry Kissenger in to a world of pain.
In all seriousness I'd start with recent wars and disasters like Palestine (and all victims, Jewish and otherwise, of the holocaust.) and then cut a deal with the Mormons for their database.
Would the deal involve reviving Joseph Smith
Bring him back for the lulz but not Bringham Young.
No one has said Michael Brooks yet and he deserves to be brought back for sure
the single most progressive president in my lifetime, joseph robinette biden
Jimmy Carter so he can run against Drumpf in 2028
My mom
My cat
Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Marx, Engels
In that order.
Man I would need a team of researchers, pen bearers, poopers, pissers and feeders because I'm making the most of this. While I'm furiously writing they gotta tell me the names of as many slaves, victims of Massacres, anyone who died because of the evil of others. I'm trying to get 100,000 names at minimum in this motherfuckah.
Lenin
Bring back Epstein to testify and then bring him back again every time he commits suicide by two bullets to the back of the head.
Any dead anti capitalist I can get the name and picture of.
Stalin Lenin Castro, Ho chi Minh, free Hampton, mlk, Einstein, Malcolm x ect...Anybody who had some sense and could help the cause with their influence.
If I could print names on torn out pages to speed up my revive rate Id try to go for victims of the Holocaust too, Palestinians, whoever but I kind of doubt I'd be able to pull it off even with 24 hours with the magic book.
Do they come back as the age they died, or what they would currently be if they never died?
Or do they comeback in their prime and healthy. Need to know details like this.
Like no point bringing Fidel, Stalin, Ho Chi Minh or Mao back to have them die soon from strokes or old age. No point having Marx or Rosa Luxembourg turn into dust.
But age they died we could get Che, Fee Hampton, Thomas Sankara, Rosa Luxembourg. Pretty much any communist martyr in their prime.
Even Lenin was relatively young and modern medicine and rehabilitation therapy might help, though he wasn't in great shape by his death.
(edit obviously if we can bring unlimited people back, we are obligated to bring back all victims of genocide, imperialism and capitalism but if we have to be strategic and only pick a handful, the we should be picking people who might help overthrow the current state of things)

The simple answer is "as many people as possible", but I kinda want to say that my foremost priority would be my own relatives. Five names off the top of my head and a family tree is plenty to start with: I get curious about how I'd feel about my deceased relatives if they were alive today, and I wonder about which of my memories of deceased relatives have been completely garbled over the years; and I wonder what the relatives I never met were really like, or what my family history truly is "in its own words".
I'm also definitely bringing back Benjamin Lay, Bugonaygeshig (from the Battle of Sugar Point), Ozaawindib, Mons Somby and Aslak Hætta, all the Dakota 38, and basically everyone else mentioned in this thread, plus any other famous socialists, folk heroes, genocide victims, ancient historical figures etc I can think of (I certainly could go all day, but I'd like to give others a chance to mention some of the other people I'm thinking of)
Maybe the dead children at the local cemetery, too, if it can be guaranteed that they won't die again until they reach old age. I'd like to revive Vincent van Gogh just to reenact that one scene in that one Doctor Who episode, too.
Dodo bird.

https://data.techforpalestine.org/api/v2/killed-in-gaza.csv Malcom X, Huey Newton, MLK, et al. I would need some time to dig into other historical archives to make a good list composed on the greatest liberation fighters in history,
Vygotsky would be interesting. Died prematurely but had plenty of students continue his work. Wonder how he'd respond to their work and the current state of psychology in general.
Find the coolest monarch in the royal histories of England and bring him back just for the controversy of it. Then I would bring back Che and tell him he now has an infinite life hack, and with his guerilla expertise that would make him unstoppable
