Kamala Harris
Real Answer
Gotta be Parenti, though he is certainly high in age now
Parenti is such a good writer, and unlike Chomsky his books are fun to read.
this might have been true had myself, the one TRUE true leftist, entered the conversation
Gabriel Rockhill, expert and leading critic of the history of the anti-Marxist "left", particularly the pedophile cabal sometimes known as the "French school"
Maybe an unpopular opinion but Kohei Saito is one of my recent favs. Don't completely agree with his framing of a completely human-driven anthropocene, but Marxism is fundamentally anthropocentric imo so I'll take what I can get.
I've read some decent stuff from Roland Boer. Granted his work is a little niche sometimes.
I really liked his Idols of Nations; pretty niche indeed, but also very interesting and it touches a subject I know next to nothing about. I guess I should read his other works since he has many others on similar subjects. Which ones would you most recommend off the top of your head?
I first got into him reading Red Theology because the intersection of Christianity and Marxism is relevant to me personally.
I've heard really great stuff about Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, I'm told it's a great primer on how socialism works in China from a sympathetic westerner's perspective.
My library system here is not really able to get me much of his work unfortunately so I have to pull the trigger on buying them, which I haven't done much.
Edit: He also has a blog where he posts sometimes, kinda a mix of good scholarly interests and his experiences in China.
John Bellamy Foster's eco-Marxist work is the closest thing to the research and writing I'd like to do.
I struggled with this one, I guess Michael Roberts is the guy I read everytime he posts on his blog thenextrecession, matt also I really connected with his analysis of internet politics and I think vincent bevins hits on a lot of the same points regarding mass politics.
