Comrades,

I'm fairly new to this socialist thing. I've read some of the basics and checked out lectures from people like Parenti.

Who are some "major" modern socialists? I'm only aware of Richard Wolf.

Thanks,

    I would be carefull with varufakis. As a Greek: Some very good economic insights and demsocism but danger of infestation by eurocommunist brainworms and ideas the failed european left threw in the garbage for decades now

      Could you elaborate what ideas were those? I listen to a few of his talks and yeah he does have a lib streak but I'd like to hear specifics.

      I remember when Syriza was all the rage and Varoufakis was in the spotlight, I soured on them quickly when Varoufakis didn't think the left was capable of a revolution, so just do soc dem stuff, yeah eurocommunism is still a cancer.
