I know youre mad at me today so you have to be contrarian here, but the entire premise here is a falsehood. Jacobin have consistently refused to acknowledge the danger of fascism in the US

This. Not one who is an actual leftist takes Jacobin seriously.

Most of the article was about the danger of the far right and Republican being complicit with like 2 paragraphs at the end about how the Left needs to stay on the Biden administrations ass to not recreate conditions that led to Trump.

Weren't the Jacobins the ones who presided over the Reign of Terror and helped install Napoleon in France? They don't sound like people who would be worried about violence or authoritarianism.

revolutionaries like The Jacobin here are typically more preoccupied with internal dissent than with any external threats to their existence. The fact that some on the left think Joe Biden is going to be a danger is the same sort of talk we hear about "Republicans in name only" that the right used to talk about.

The magazine has no more relations with the Jacobins of the French Revolution that Cenk Uygur has to do with the actual Young Turks.

Nope, they're the Sanders type of socialists and regularly attack China.

Riiight because Jacobin is one person and socialists always agree with each other right?

FYI, the author of the article is a left wing critic of East Germany who wanted democratic reforms but is critical of the mess unregulated capitalism brought to East Germany.

Neoliberals were interested in the fall of the berlin wall as a source of cheap labor. It didn't pan out exactly how they wanted, but still. The fall of the USSR was a prime opportunity for cooperation, but instead the west mostly just exploited the weakened state. NATO, for example, should've been dissolved, at the very least as a show of genuine cooperation. Instead they kept the machine going because they need enemies and people to exploit.

As for killing the Romanov children, I wouldn't call it justice, but it's obvious that killing their parents and throwing them out of their highly elevated status would only serve to make them thirst for revenge as they grow up. It's unfortunate that it had to come to that, but it's a consequence of long-held misused power. Capitalists are out here killing and using children as slaves (nestle was recently in court defending themselves on this), but you are selective in your outrage because you're a good little consumer.

You support capitalism, that makes you a child-killing defender. By the way, capitalism is killing and enslaving children *now* not 100 years ago.

You see no reason to engage in good faith because you didn't make this topic in good faith in the first place. You posted a reasonable article hoping people would take your word that it was a "terrible take" and then changed the subject to controversial twitter posts when your troll attempt failed.

Tankies are Stalinists. Specifically, the term refers to support of Stalin's usage of tanks to put down dissent.

Jacobin are not tankies.
