Many of the modern anticapitalists and marxists in the western world are aging out. Parenti is currently suffering from Dementia and Wolff is in his eighties and can't go on forever. Who comes next?

Essentially do you see any big modern marxist public figures coming in as the "old guard" ages out? Who?
There are other decent figures who are younger. Vijay Prishad is only 55. We’ve got everyone in the revleft podcast family. In addition, more zoomer centered figures like the deprogram people and hasan.
Came here to say Vijay as well even tho he's not that young he should have a good 20+ years in him still, hopefully.
Zizek! I'm kidding, but maybe the answer is not in the West, but elsewhere, and maybe the media just doesn't pay attention to them because it is in their best interest.
These are big shoes to fill and they will of course be filled by Bad Empanada and Vaush.
Hi comrade, is something wrong with bad empanada? I watched a few of his and thought it was pretty neat. I am asking because you mention him together with vaush.
He doesn't acknowledge PRC's achievements, doesn't support AES except Cuba (I think) and doesn't align himself with other anti-imperialists. He attacks journalists critical of the west, I faintly recall a bona fide NED spook quote tweeting BE to attack the Greyzone.
Insofar as he limits himself to attacking rightists, especially the ones claiming to be socialists, he's fine.
I've never seen him apologise for furthering the Uighur genocide hoax.

Marxism is doomed 😔
Comrade, get a hold of yourself. A hundred generations live in us, waiting for the final victory of socialism. And if it won't be us, it's going to be our sons and daughters
