Our Line Is Left-Zinovievism With American Characteristics

Honestly the fundamental problem with Jacobin is that it doesn’t seem willing to have an actual editorial line instead of credulously featuring everybody willing to talk about whatever beliefs they have in “left-wing” language lol.

We Actually Publish in Six, Soon to Be Seven, Languages

Why is Germany the only country with a dedicated Jacobin magazine? Is there no demand for French Jacobin? Polish Jacobin? Mexican Jacobin?

Brand Consistency Matters

Are people really surprised a magazine called Jacobin would publish an article praising a bourgeois revolution? Do they know who the Jacobins were?

In Defense of Golf

I think people think I’m kidding when I say that every article Jacobin publishes these days follows the same pattern: “Here’s why an aspect of bourgeois society universally rejected by socialists is actually good and potentially revolutionary.” I’m really not.

Trying to decide whether to read the Nation article about how Hamilton is bad or the Jacobin article about how Hamilton is bad.

We’ve Accepted Worse Pitches

My favorite kind of Jacobin article is the one that connects something completely bizarre to socialism, like “How We Can Make Astrology Proletarian” or “The Subtle Leninism of AI fruit love island.”

Bracing for the “Jalen Brunson Is a Socialist” Jacobin article.
