View submission: Who comes close to Chomsky today?
Prof. Timothy Snyder has somewhat taken up the mantle as a public intellectual. Chris Hedges is an acolyte whose books, lectures and activism are top notch.
Chomsky is a one-off genius. Revolutionized linguistics and then went on to be a political activist and revolutionize political discourse, techniques of propaganda, and the critical analysis of government machinations especially as regards foreign policy.
