Jacobin is an American socialist quarterly magazine founded in 2010 and based in New York which offers perspectives on politics, economics, and culture. Jacobin has a paid print circulation of 50,000 as of 2020, and a web audience of over 2,000,000 a month.[1]

Its founder Bhaskar Sunkara has said that the aim of the magazine was to create a publication which combined resolutely socialist politics with the accessibility of titles such as The Nation and The New Republic.[2]

In May 2020, some time after Bernie Sanders suspended his 2020 presidental campaign, Sanders' former adviser and speechwriter David Sirota joined Jacobin as editor-at-large.[3]

Derivation

The name of the magazine derives from the book "The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L'Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution" by C. L. R. James in which James ascribes the Black Haitian revolutionists a greater purity in regards to their attachment to the ideals of the French Revolution than the French Jacobins.[4]

Takeover

In May 2018, Ronan Burtenshaw, formerly Jacobin’s Europe editor, announced the takeover of the British Tribune magazine. Burtenshaw said acquiring Tribune was a “big challenge” because Jacobin is “not by any stretch a wealthy organisation”.[5]

25 July 2020Daniel FinnBy sacking Rebecca Long-Bailey on a trumped-up pretext, Sir Keir Rodney Starmer has set the seal on a drastic shift to the right for the Labour Party. That shift comes just as the key arguments by Jeremy Corbyn’s opponents to justify a break with his left leadership have been falling apart in the face of overwhelming evidence.
