Is Jacobin a solid/ideologically respectable lefty magazine?

Is Jacobin a solid/ideologically respectable lefty magazine?

It's ok.

WSWS is better.

it's a socdem/left-liberal publication that sometimes publishes real radicals

They often critique idpol, give a whole bunch of different views from the left and don't have a single line, and keep a nice aesthetic. I like them.

Right on. I've been wanting to subscribe to some more academic socialist publications. The party newspapers are fun, but the propaganda rhetoric is a little exhausting.

What Wob branch are you? LAGMB here.

are there wobs in chicago? are they any good? I used to be part of the chicago swp but I quit because it sucked.

Their quality flies all over the place. Sometimes they'll have a particularly nice class-conscious article, but a little too often they let idpol bloggers write diarrhea for them.

Pretty sure the IWW is actually headquartered in Chicago… I dunno how many members their branch has, but it's certainly worth an hour of your time to show up to a meeting.

Besides the Sam Kriss articles where he name drops philosophers and writes incoherently, plus that Robert Conquest article, it's good.

I like the articles in the magazine, the daily blog stuff sucks though.

You should just read the magazine and little else from them. The mag is pretty great though.

They don't have a regular writing staff. So, there quality is all over the place. There movie reviews are particularly awful. 5/10

Did Sam Kriss write any other articles criticizing Zizek ever again? Or did he just ignore the anal devastationg Zizek gave him?

Reagan was accidentally based af sometimes. Here's another good quote: “I can’t help but believe that in the future we will see in the United States and throughout the western world an increasing trend towards the next logical step, employee ownership. It is a path that befits a free people.”

Damn right!, I didn't get this autistic by interacting with people.

Based socdem magazine

Tbh I no joke consider you guys my friends. Is this autistic to admit that I feel a deeper connection to faceless anonymous posters than most people I actually know

Sam Kriss would be raped by Zizek if they debated in public.
It's a shame that Christopher Hitchens died before rapeing that miserable, Idpol obsessive autistic Sam Kriss.
