So is there any substance to people like Chomsky and Zizek? All they do is talk about stupid shit and blame other left wingers for the shortcomings of the organized movements against the right wing, it's all entry level shit for people who are too scared of being marxist because it makes them feel morally wrong. Seriously can someone tell me any other reason why those two guys are the most popular ""left"" wing writers?

You sort of answered your own question

Well that's what I understand but still, I want to know the perspective of someone who follows these two
Asher Clark
Zizek still shits all over "Lenin was an evil authoritarian" Chomsky tbh.
Liam Fisher
chomsky actually seems to care about anti-imperialism though
Juan Brooks
No he doesn't. Zizek is the exact same as Chomsky in this regard. Just garden variety anti-communists.
You really think any of them would have any publicity if they championed Lenin or Stalin? Chomsky's propaganda model applies here.
Either way Chomsky is far superior to Zizek simply due to the fact that he makes pretensions towards being a leftist while Zizek never even considered it.

Oh, you mean the guy who wanted US to remain in Syria?

Chomsky is literal friends with the head of the CIA. You have to read this stuff:

IDK who is worse to be honest. Zizek, begging NATO to drop more bombs on his former homeland, or Chomsky, going to dinner parties with the CIA and telling MIT students they shouldn't protest against military research. Both of them have one thing in common, which is that their whole purpose is to smuggle reactionary idealism into leftism. This is why they get so much media promotion: they're literal government agents.
