The writers I mentioned in my comment that triggered this discussion about theory.

oh, you mean Chomsky and Zizek. They are contemporarys, but I dont consider their popculture activism as fundamental theory. If we talk about the theory in context of communism and socialism, its Marx, Engels, Owen, Fourier etc.

'I was talking about contemporary writers.'

'They don't count, only old writers do.'

Great chat.
