Yeah Jason Hickel has been moving much further towards principled socialism. Connecting racism to anti-imperialism and the related economic base aspects is what he's currently improving on. I started following him like a decade ago when I got sent an article about degrowth from him, and was totally unimpressed. Then Max Ajl critiqued his degrowth but pointed out its value like 5 years ago and I came back to him, and he had improved and it was very clear that he went from socdem to democratic socialist. Still not good but the right direction, with clear shifts in analysis that could only lead to Marxism. I think he's very much there now, but still growing out of some small western brainworms and trying to avoid the key words all too much and work empirically as opposed to ideologically/philosophically. His new website is pretty nice for talking to non-commies https://globalinequality.org/
