View submission: Who comes close to Chomsky today?
Chomsky is a vocal critic of 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." Parenti is a devout Marxist. I don't think Marxist ideologues like Parenti come very close to Chomsky, unless you focus exclusively on a few aspects like media and class analysis.

I know that. That's why I agree with the other guy about Parenti being even better than Chomsky
