View submission: Who comes close to Chomsky today?
Arundhati Roy. Her non-fiction writing has opened my eyes as an adult in the ways Chomsky did when I was a teenager. Has written forwards for Chomsky books too. “Azadi” is a great starting point.
That’s of course to say nothing about her Booker Prize-winning fiction work.

I watched her speech 'Come September'[1] *right* after 9/11 and it was amazing. 24 years later it hurts so much more and feels like not a goddamn thing has change, and in fact so much worse.
