View submission: Who comes close to Chomsky today?
Vijay is an avowed Marxist. Chomsky has always critcized Marxism, saying it belongs in the category of organized religion[1], and calls Marx basically a theorist of 19th century capitalism who barely makes any mention of socialism. "To assume that it offers a doctrine for today makes no sense."

To say he is virtually Chomsky's understudy seems pretty at odds with Chomsky's views and solutions in the realm of geopolitics and philosophy.

You’re right, Chomsky isn’t a Marxist but I think him and Vijay share a lot of points and are working towards similar goals. Let’s not be too sectarian now, in times like these we need all the help we can get
