I guess out of boredom mostly I took a gander recently at Jacobin’s Twitter (X) feed and noticed an article entitled: Walmart Is Still Putting Ebenezer Scrooge to Shame by David Moscrop. And essentially the article is pretty decent until you get to the very end of the article where Moscrop states the following:
Totally right, Connor! 🔥 A treatise on real socialism that would have Professor Richard Wolff on his feet applauding! I've known the Jacobin organization is a Dem adjunct like the DSA since early 2020, before the pandemic and the atrocious Super Tuesday primaries that were blatantly rigged against Bernie Sanders, a time when the Jacobin YouTube channel had Ana Kasparian co hosting a Saturday afternoon show with Michael Brooks (RIP) and someone from the magazine. It was very disappointing at a time when I, already a Green voter for Jill Stein twice, was running away from the TYT types toward more serious online media (not including Jimmy Dore, btw, who to me is just another kind of electoral politics sheepdog, along with the Indies and SA pervs that only I know about).
When my alter ego Green Wiccan says Time For A Revolution, she means exactly what you wrote about and how you laid it out, not armed rebellion in the streets. It's essential that we organize locally as much as possible - and I agree we can have electoral success locally while nationally we need to vote against the billionaire run duopoly - and that organizing includes using our economic power against the wealthy and powerful 'company stores,' exactly as you said!
Y ¡Viva La España! Especialmente ciudades como Barcelona y Valencia! ♥️♥️ Hope to see you in the chat Sunday morning!
Thanks, Gera Brown. I love the comment. My biggest problem with Jacobin is that is so gutless when it comes to action. It reads like a coffee table magazine for Socialists in a 1st year Seminar for their Masters in Postmodernism.
I think we need to really start developing more and more direct action groups that give people real power. Instead with voting we're giving away our power and hoping that our representative actually does what he or she says she will. And this is super important for local elections.
I think we all feel the same way about boutique DSA type socialism. I really enjoyed the show Sunday morning. The chat felt like a mini mosh pit, lol. ♥️

I totally agree. 🔥🔥
Very good article!
Thanks
Great article! I’m sure I’m not the only one tired of being told my vote is my voice. It’s not. I’m a hell of a lot louder than that.
Thanks so much

Well said!
