I can't say the following writers are similar to Chomsky but they are a part of the popular dissident movement as I know it. The narrative they write from is what they all have in common. Think colonialism and Euro-centrism (and calling it out.)

The Colonizer's Model of the World by J.M. Blaut changed how I viewed America and Europe's relationship with the "third world" and illustrated the doublethink required to be a consumer.

From Colonizer's you can learn about people like Samir Amin is a vocal opponent of Capitalism and globalism. Here are enough of his books to keep you busy for awhile.

Also from Colonizer's is Amilcar Cabral, an African nationalist that fomented (is that the right word?) an open revolution to get Belgium Portuguese out of Guinea Bissau using only local resources. It took years. He won. He was assassinated shortly after being elected. A necessary evil you could say because we need cheap rubber for our cars. Another example of true democracy being cut short practically the moment it existed by guess who? If you go to a library you can get reviews of his book on JSTOR which can be helpful. He wrote Unity and Struggle and there are PDFs of that work floating around. He showed you can beat imperialism with a coordinated effort, like everyone has to take part and the middle class must commit suicide as a class in order for all to succeed.

If J.M. Blaut, Samir Amin and Amilcar Cabral aren't enough to keep you busy look up Naomi Klein and again, her books and films are available to both purchase and steal on most popula torrent sites.

Also I can't recommend http://historyisaweapon.com/ enough. I'm just finishing the entire site for the first time. There are many typos on the site so the second time I read through it I'm going to compile a list of grammatical and punctuation errors. OCR is like that. "I'm doing my part" (Starship Troopers and irony)

EDIT: Wrong colonizing country. Not Belgium, Portugal.
