How do you feel about Jacobin Magazine? Why do I never see it discussed or referenced here?

How do you feel about Jacobin Magazine? Why do I never see it discussed or referenced here?

I think it will become increasingly important in the coming years. Will eventually be many people's first introduction to socialism.

forgot to take off shitposting flag

they do some very good articles but they're very interwoven with the DSA and the democrats to a lesser extent

I hope they step away from that in the future

Generally pretty good, especially for new folks. Sometimes pretty bizarre positions in the articles they post on their site at least.

Some very good articles, some idiotic ones. I remember they were behind some of the "gamers are dead" articles back when GG was going on

That's interesting. for some reason most leftcoms I know of hate Jacobin. Not sure why, but I haven't read much of their shit anyway

It's pretty good. They need a more strict editorial policy, but it's okay.

Leftcoms hate literally everything.

These people think bernie sanders is a socialist but Fidel Castro isn't.

Occasionally it's ok though

I hope not.

What's so terrible about the DSA?

I hear a lot about them but I'm not an American. Not sure what they are.

I forgot about that

But in Jacobin's defense, the author:


It wasn't Jacobin, just someone published in Jacobin. That's one of their unfortunate drawbacks, that the Jacobin staff writing tends to be pretty great, but sometimes they just publish garbage from outside. I could imagine the editors not knowing anything or giving a fuck about video game subculture or the drama surrounding it, though.

My money is on Ian trying to score some brownie points to maybe go back to working in the game industry :^)

let me post already you crippled fuck

That's what I mean about their editorial policy. Button up a little, Jesus.

that's impossible

Is that supposed to be L'Ouverture?

tru but I like leftcoms. They're the best marxists

WE

Shut up and kiss me.

They might be if they weren't such infuriating purists and sectarians.

I honestly don't get leftcoms. Can't tell whether they're geniuses or impotent posers.

literally an infantile disorder

They know their shit for sure, they just are incapable of overlooking minor shortcomings or doctrinal differences in basically any other tendency. Also they have a cult-like devotion to Marxism.

Their print is way better than what you can find online. Though to be honest they are the only distinctly anti-liberal publisher with a sizable influence . 8/10 pretty good

Jacobin is great, they're picking up steam in the US and spreading genuine leftist ideas to a broader audience. They're not perfect, but they're what we have and they're doing pretty good on the whole.


they're borderline liberal

Jacobin has been the most mentioned publication on Holla Forums

If I was going to make a thread about undeservedly obscure Marxist theory websites, I'd have a whole list posted here but posting is still broken.

Since Holla Forums is being a shit and won't let me make a new thread I'll just post this here
GNOME CHOMSKY: Socialism in an age of reaction

you need to go to the board index to do it since the changes to stop the spammer were implemented.

They're OK, hit or miss.
