View submission: Who comes close to Chomsky today?
So true. There is no one who comes close to Chomsky contemporarily. Chomsky as a scholar and public intellectual is more akin to Bertrand Russell or Einstein in past times. But because of Chomsky's political radicalism and critique of the powerful and America he has been marginalized and attacked by the establishment and will NEVER be given credit as the intellectual giant he is, this can't be underestimated.
Most of us are not sufficiently educated in Marxist or Anarchist political or economic theory to gauge Chomsky's real contributions nor do we understand his scientific work across disciplines well enough to pass judgement.
There's nothing here!
