Essentially do you see any big modern marxist public figures coming in as the "old guard" ages out? Who?

Discussion Community for fellow Marxist-Leninists and other Marxists.
Rules for /c/communism
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
- No non-marxists
This subreddit is here to facilitate discussion between marxists.
There are other communities aimed at helping along new communists. This community isn't here to convert naysayers to marxism.
If you are a member of the police, armed forces, or any other part of the repressive state apparatus of capitalist nations, you will be banned.
- No oppressive language
Do not attempt to justify your use of oppressive language.
Doing this will almost assuredly result in a ban. Accept the criticism in a principled manner, edit your post or comment accordingly, and move on, learning from your mistake.
We believe that speech, like everything else, has a class character, and that some speech can be oppressive. This is why speech that is patriarchal, white supremacist, cissupremacist, homophobic, ableist, or otherwise oppressive is banned.
TERF is not a slur.
- No low quality or off-topic posts
Posts that are low-effort or otherwise irrelevant will be removed.
This is not a place to engage in meta-drama or discuss random reactionaries on lemmy or anywhere else.
This includes memes and circlejerking.
This includes most images, such as random books or memorabilia you found.
We ask that amerikan posters refrain from posting about US bourgeois politics. The rest of the world really doesn’t care that much.
- No basic questions about marxism
Posts asking entry-level questions will be removed.
Questions like “What is Maoism?” or “Why do Stalinists believe what they do?” will be removed, as they are not the focus on this forum.
- No sectarianism
Marxists of all tendencies are welcome here.
Refrain from sectarianism, defined here as unprincipled criticism. Posts trash-talking a certain tendency or marxist figure will be removed. Circlejerking, throwing insults around, and other pettiness is unacceptable.
If criticisms must be made, make them in a principled manner, applying Marxist analysis.
The goal of this subreddit is the accretion of theory and knowledge and the promotion of quality discussion and criticism.

Maybe Gloria La Riva.
I've read that just like PSL, Gloria La Riva is unfortunately a plant that is CIA-controlled opposition. I'm still shocked.
Edit: Why the downvotes? I can provide a link to what I read.
You got those links? Interested in the psl claims

Does the paranoid “fleawar” person support any actual organizations (besides maybe Hezbollah)? Sure any leftist movement is gonna have feds, but where are we supposed to organize?
That's a fair point, but aside from reading their articles, I don't know much about them.
I would argue that its not paranoia if there really are people after us, working visibly and in the shadows.
I don't have an answer, but I hope the point fleawar is making is that we have to build something on our own.
Ok, after like 6 hours of going through some of this stuff... There's not really a lot of convincing arguments. Claiming Gloria LaRiva is a plant is a stretch.
The author basically denounces anything other than armed resistance; times are different and the PSL is seemingly adopting a coalition effort (although still Marxist oriented).
Now I do agree that some of these figures that have been invited to podcasts or delivered speeches may be problematic, but those people are neither part of the leadership nor even part of the PSL.
Whether the PSL has been co-opted, I think only time will tell. Until then still seems to me like a positive force actually organizing and tackling the challenges therein.
Fair points
