View submission: Who comes close to Chomsky today?
Yeah, I've been keeping an eye out for Chomsky alternatives for a while, and Varoufakis is at the top of the list for me. I haven't disagreed with any of his takes so far, and he has plenty of novel approaches which is engaging.
I've gotten into Jeffrey Sachs more lately too. Less on the novel approach, but he also has wide international govt experience experience, which lends him some authority to non-leftist sources i think. However, i did hear him praise elon musk and also espouse the Kennedy assassination conspiracy theory, which were not great for me.
So yeah, Varoufakis still holds the top spot for me.

Isn’t Jeffrey Sachs a bit controversial in terms of his involvement with other govts?
