You’re welcome — I know animated GIFs don’t come included with your New Left Review or Socialist Register subscriptions. But the spring issue of Jacobin, out in May, is more than just a bright and shiny thing to admire from afar. It’s a bright and shiny thing to read unnaturally close to your face.

Unfortunately, the printed version of Rob Pybus’ cover will be static and not animated. Bourgeois research imperatives prevent the emergence of that type of technology. It’s still something worth seeing in the flesh though.

Inside the issue is just as great. Our special section on strategy features four pieces, each representing distinct tendencies on the Left. We sought to avoid the classic “What is to be done?” in favor of the more difficult “Who the hell is going to do it?” The section is anchored by an essay by NTanya Lee and Steve Williams that should spark valuable conversation among activists.
