Issue 59: Borders

This issue of Jacobin takes a hard look at the politics of borders, examining their role in dividing the working class, enforcing economic and geopolitical hierarchies, and sustaining global inequality. Are borders a necessary defense against capital’s race to the bottom, or are they just another tool for splitting the working class and suppressing wages? What would a solidaristic immigration policy look like today, and what would a genuinely internationalist socialism consist of in a world still crisscrossed by national frontiers?

Issue 58: Speculation

From the casino-like world of crypto to the pursuit of easy profits through finance and real estate, many people feel that our economy increasingly rewards the speculation of a few over the hard work of the many. This issue explores how speculation and gambling have become growing features of today’s capitalism — driving inequality, distorting economic priorities, and eroding social trust.

Issue 57: Progress

The idea of progress has been central to the Left since its inception. But today faith in progress has been severely diminished. In this issue, we provide a nuanced picture of where progress has been made in both technological and social terms, how and why it has been reversed, and how socialists can revive the Left’s tradition of progress for the struggles of the present.

Issue 54: Town & Country

“Town & Country,” examines the class politics of rural America, showing that it is neither monolithic nor a backward-looking residue of the past. What do socialists have to offer to rural America? What organizing traditions can we draw on? And if ever fewer Americans are tilling the fields, what does that mean for a vision of a worker-farmer alliance?

Issue 53: Religion

The spread of capitalism across the globe has led to colossal social upheavals. But religion remains a powerful force. Should socialists combat religious ways of thinking? Or should we make the case that a rich spiritual life first requires the practical work of building the society of abundance that religion so often envisions?

Issue 50: Iraq at 20

The invasion of Iraq was a humanitarian and geopolitical disaster premised on lies from the highest levels of American power. It led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and unleashed decades of violent instability that left the country in ruins. In this issue, we look back at the context of the invasion, the various fabrications that elites used to justify it, and the vast human cost of the occupation for the people of Iraq and beyond.

Issue 49: Conspiracy

From political assassinations to coups to the systematic cover-up of big business malfeasance and all manner of deep state criminality, American history is full of bizarre stories about the hidden forces of power in society. But how much do conspiracy theories really explain about the brute facts of political and economic power that structure our everyday lives? Are they useful for political action, or are they a symptom of depoliticization?
