New York–area readers: join Bhaskar Sunkara, Nancy Fraser, and Matt Bruenig for a May Day discussion about what comes after capitalism — and how we get there.
Since the 17th century, our understanding of choice has undergone profound transformations. In the neoliberal era, an especially individualistic, market-oriented idea of freedom has come to dominate more and more of our existence.
Discussions of whether Trumpism is fascist often lose sight of the political stakes of the issue. But like Italian and German fascism, MAGA reflects a political system failing to address capitalist crisis.
Amid war and sanctions, Syria’s health care system has collapsed. These new photos from Jacobin’s correspondent in Syria show how, in the absence of a functioning state, volunteers and doctors have become the last line of defense.
The 33-year-old socialist Zohran Mamdani’s laser focus on affordability, smart media strategy, and undeniable charisma have made him a serious challenger for New York City mayor — and a likely fixture in New York politics for a long time to come.
It’s not hard to find novels criticizing the reality of late capitalism — and our seeming powerless in the face of it — on lists of best-selling literature. But a new book by Michelle de Kretser challenges readers to do more than complain.

Pope Francis, writes Marxist scholar Michael Löwy, demonstrated an uncharacteristic sympathy toward left-wing thought, even as his thinking owed far more to the non-Marxist “theology of the people” than liberation theology.
Nostalgia for a bygone gender regime is more than a weird social media trend. It reflects larger system pressures — on elites facing technological disruption that might generate social unrest, and on ordinary women buckling under the weight of modern work.
Jacobin sat down with the prolific muckraking filmmaker Alex Gibney to discuss his new documentary The Dark Money Game, on the terrifying ramifications of Citizens United and how it’s empowered the same oligarchy now unleashed by the Trump administration.
In 1970, US postal workers won collective bargaining rights with an illegal strike. If lawsuits to stop Trump’s attacks on the federal workforce fail, that kind of militancy may be the only way for federal workers to retain their own union rights.
