Imagine a world in which the people who were most well-known and respected for their political commentary were thoughtful, intelligent, rational people with actual integrity instead of a motley assortment of amoral grifters spewing cheap provocation for profit and painfully obvious lunatics barking at the moon.
Dr. Richard Wolff is still doing good today, as is Angela Davis and Dolores Huerta
those people look to be interesting. wouldn't say they are well known
Maybe get to know them then, so they will be, ya know, well known.

I'd say Angela Davis is pretty well known. She was part of the reason why the FBI made COININTELPRO.
You should read up on her. She's had a wild life.
Dr. Wolff is a highly respected marxian economist, he also is the president of Democracy@Work where he makes videos giving economic analysis of global trends.
Angela Davis is an activist that fought for civil rights and black liberation. She was a political prisoner for a time due to COINTELPRO. She's a professor now and still does work, but after so many friends getting killed she's ready to cede her position to the next generation of black activists.
Dolores Huerta is my personal favorite. She helped found the union United Farm Workers with Ceasar Chavez, organizes for the rights of immigrant farm workers, and pushes for voter enfranchisement in marginalized communities. She led the boycott aspect of the 60s Delano Grape Strike.
thanks
Dr. Wolff is kinda disappointing. I expect economists to use mathematical and statistical rigor, but have seen none of that from him. I also vaguely remembering him having a pretty bad take on Ukraine a while ago. And I can't stand his demeanor and the way he speaks, lol.
