Not sure how 🌹Bhaskar Sunkara is going to spin the fact that "concrete progressive ballot initiatives" -- public banking in Los Angeles and rent control in California -- got crushed at the polls but I'm sure he'll come up with some half-assed bullshit. la.curbed.com/2018/11/6/1807…
Remember when Jacobin dismissed Occupy as failed anarcho-liberalism right before it blew up into the biggest mass movement since the 2003 Iraq war protests and transformed the U.S. political landscape? 😎

Jacobin bro misrepresents Bernie Sanders' remarks in a desperate attempt to their "Russiagate is a fake news McCarthyist witch hunt, Trump-Russia did nothing wrong!" line alive.
🤣

Not hard to see why Bhaskar Sunkara chose to retain Chris Mclaughlin as scab labor over at the Tribune. He lies and personally attacks @zlotymjp as a lowly "shelf-stacker."

Donald Trump would be proud.

@zlotymjp 140+ left academics and activists (including Sam Farber and Kim Moody) denounce Bhaskar Sunkara's coup ousting Robert Brenner from Catalyst and vow to start a new publication. towardanewjournal.com
How does that "I'd like to report a murder" meme go again? 😄
Why oh why would rapacious startup capitalist and wage thief Bhaskar Sunkara defend the intellectual seriousness and legitimacy of a proven plagiarist like Angela Nagle?

It's really a mystery.

No one knows.🤷‍♂️
Between 2010 and April 2015, Jacobin didn't run a single article about Bernie Sanders. He was mentioned in a handful of articles only in passing.

At this point I think the only way they could restore their credibility is to delete the website.
"Working-class black people continue to be massively unrepresented" writes Sunkara Inc.

Pretty sure that's a good way to describe his mag both in terms of focus, concerns, writing, and readership.

"The answers to problems facing working-class Black Americans are literally identical to the answers for problems facing working-class white Americans.

"Buy my new book on socialism!"

-- Sunkara Inc.

Pretty sure the only political prisoner they've ever campaigned for is someone who writes for them. Otherwise they don't give a damn.
Yep, this is aging well. jacobinmag.com/2018/05/russia…
Sunkara Inc. has finally met its intellectual equal.
Extremely serious magazine sending out extremely serious links containing extremely serious arguments.
How dumb can you be?
Nothing says working-class struggle and class-struggle politics like commenting on trendy interior design kitsch from Denmark while ignoring actually-existing conditions for working people in Denmark. jacobinmag.com/2018/12/hygge-…
Jacobin now running articles written by imaginary people.

I guess that's one way of getting around paying writers.

😆

Job-killing wage thief dismisses credible #MeToo claims by Bernie Sanders staffers but is outraged by the use of the term "Bernie bro."
"Harry Potter is a liberal-capitalist wrecker"? 😂
Somehow Robert P. Baird's puff piece missed all the unpaid labor and unpaid writers that made🌹Sunkara Inc.'s grifting profitable but at least we got this rare gem of semi-honesty out of it. 🤑 cjr.org/special_report…
Robert P. Baird's puff piece claims Sunkara bought fake Twitter followers to impress Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s agent behind Uetricht's back, yet Uetricht made it sound like the buy was a joint decision. Was this a lie? Or does @cjr not fact-check stuff? cjr.org/special_report…
Guess which faction of DSA is aligned with Sunkara Inc?
Mag that fired 3 union journalists (including @zlotymjp) after screwing them out of their earnings is using the LA teachers' strike as a marketing opportunity.

@zlotymjp Jacobin says Nation of Islam hijacking progressive causes happens all the time and compares associating with Louis Farrakhan -- who called Jews "termites" and praised Hitler -- to associating with Hillary Clinton. jacobinmag.com/2019/01/womens…
How many of these workers read or subscribe to the magazine? Couldn't get even one of them to write about #TrumpShutDown's impact on their family and lives eh?
When you are based in Brooklyn but have no idea what's going on with workers at Laguardia, JFK, or Newark airports because no workers or labor activists there bother to read your shitty rag so you have to guess what's going on. jacobinmag.com/2019/01/govern…
This week, Tribune magazine's new owners endorse a no-deal Brexit 'but from the left.'

Next week, they'll endorse building the wall 'to own the libs.'
