Ahoy, i've found this article interesting enough to investigate about pirate utopias and seems to be a continuous line between some kind of libertarian ideas, and the romantic idealization of individualist swashbucklers fighting a lost war, seeking revenge, as this list in the wiki:
Alan Breck Stuart
Captain Blood
Captain Jack Sparrow
Cyrano de Bergerac
Edmond Dantès
Inigo Montoya
Sandokan
Scaramouche
the Scarlet Pimpernel
Solomon Kane
V
Zorro
And i could add, the Black Corsair from Emilio Salgari. There is a clear pattern of characters. Often an educated man of noble origin whose family/rights were slayed with great injustice, and is waging a war on his own against overwhelming odds.
Just wanted to comment it, if someone else feels attracted by this kind of stories.
