View submission: Who comes close to Chomsky today?

Some people spring to mind, but there is nobody quite like Chomsky.

Jeffery Sachs, Aaron Mate, Caitlin Johnstone, Vijay Prashad and a host of other alternative and left wing commentators.

Caitlin Johnstone and Aaron Mate ! Two right wing journalists inheriting Chomsky's mantle. LOL

Aaron mate is great, but he's still pretty young. I'm hoping the breadth of his knowledge increases over the decades. Chomsky had the biggest influence on him, so he's solidly a Leftist, and it's obvious in his work.

I like Jeffrey Sachs, but I don't know the other 2. I'll have to check them out
