If you could listen to the take of a dead public figure about the current state of the world, who would you choose?

I would like to listen to the take of David Foster Wallace. He was a good contrarian but not a political commentator though.

What would Marx, Stalin or Hitler say? There is a German book I read it as teenager "Er is wieder da."/ He is back again. A book that envisioned that Hitler came back. Reborn in Germany like in 2010. As a teenager I enoyed reading it but now that I am older I consider it completely trash.

Maybe the dead people from the Frankfurt school like Adorno too.

What about you?

At this point I just want to see someone like Hamilton rant about things he hates currently. He was notoriously hot-headed, but he certainly wasn't progressive in current terms. Still, I'd rather him than child-rapist Jefferson over there.

Basically, I want to watch an opinionated centrist-ish person scream for a bit. Not for any intellectual reason.

It's just that I wouldn't want to put any progressive people/activists through the pain of seeing that the world failed to listen—but I also don't want to be within a 700 foot radius of any dictator ever. I don't think Hitler would say anything interesting, it would just be depressing.

Also, I'm bored. It would be entertaining.
