This is a pre-announcement announcement. We’ve arranged to have a rather impromptu discussion on the Occupied Wall Street movement and the future of radical political strategy more generally. All credit to everyone who’s worked to get this together over the past couple days. It took a Leninist spirit of discipline and efficiency.

Jacobin editor, Bhaskar Sunkara, is in Dissent this afternoon in a futile attempt to coin a term. He requests that readers make a Wikipedia entry.
Those who purchased Jacobin issues or subscriptions in the last couple weeks are just having them sent out today. Our circulation manager was in the middle of a “hurricane” and lost “power” and couldn’t print “labels” and thinks my nagging is “inconsiderate.”

I have a short review of Vivian Gornick’s short (but not short enough) new Emma Goldman biography. It’s up at The New Inquiry.
Selected pieces from our double issue are now available online. The entirety of the issue can also be purchased digitally. Digital delivery is instant. Print copies will be mailed to subscribers in around a week.

The extra copies of the inaugural winter issue of Jacobin that is. And by “we’re giving them away,” we mean we’re charging a nominal fee for them — sorry for the catch, it’s a neat little trick we learned from car salesmen and the other commendable doyens of late capitalist society. The charge is mostly [...]
We’re sad to inform our readers of the recent passing of journalist Robert Fitch. Fitch was a strong critic of corruption in the labor movement and an advocate for structural reform within it. He leaves behind two classic texts – Solidarity for Sale and The Assassination of New York – and a host of contributions [...]
The response after we started soliciting subscriptions last week was pretty inspiring. 79 subscribers within a week and preparations underway for a corny promotional contest to celebrate our 100th. Then came November. It seems like we’ve plateaued a bit, but we might as well celebrate the excellent taste of 87 discerning individuals [including, the [...]
Our first print issue is a mix of content released last month online and entirely new material. We’ve just posted a few of the pieces:
Peter Frase on Hipsters, Food Stamps, and the Politics of Resentment
James Heartfield wonders “What Happened to the End of the World?”
and Seth Ackerman examines the Tea [...]
