The 2019 Jacobin Mixtape

The Editors

We covered the good, the bad, and the ugly all year, from Bernie Sanders's presidential run to the violent coup against Evo Morales in Bolivia. Here are some of the highlights (and lowlights).


In the United States, the message of 2019 was clear: Bernie Sanders has a fighting chance in the Democratic presidential primary race.

Internationally, the Right continued its advance in some countries — notably in the UK, where Boris Johnson’s Tories recently won an increased majority. But elsewhere, in Ecuador, Chile, Iraq, and so many other countries, popular protest movements exploded to challenge the terms of neoliberal development in the streets.

At Jacobin, we’ve done our best to cover the ups and downs of a long and disorienting year, the capstone to a long and disorienting decade. We’ll do the same next year and each year after that. Our goal is socialism in our time — and, until then, to make socialist media available to the masses.
