I figure Brace Belden is the biggest name around these parts, but I can only listen to TrueAnon for so long. Any others with more of an academic background who are still entertaining?

    Zizek was an anti-Tito tool of regime change in Yugoslavia when he was younger, he isn't a Marxist-Leninist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavoj_%C5%BDi%C5%BEek#Politics

    I think he barely even calls himself a communist. He's among the sort of left-wing 'thinkers' who is allowed a space in media, alongside Chomsky and others. Not that they're bad necessarily, but I don't think their views about other countries or history at least should be taken too seriously.
