Aren't there sources other than Adrian Zenz to use in this sort of centrist-socialist article? ('Xinjiang oppression is real but stop doing imperialism over it')

    Won't they publish pretty much anyone's op-ed? The only reason they took down one of Amber's was because of (gasp) naughty language (the "It's Bernie, Bitch" column).

    Also, obligatory: :amber:

    Edit: I'm a jackass; that was The Baffler, and the same column was reprinted on Jacobin under a different headline with the profanity removed.

      This isn't an op ed, it's an interview. Presumably the editor/s were involved in the process of selecting the interviewee.

        Bah, you're right -- I remembered seeing the Baffler version before it was pulled, and the Jacobin version had a different headline ("It's Still Bernie").

        Common Dreams has a writeup on the fiasco:

        I feel a little like I'm being gaslit, because I could have sworn I saw the Jacobin version first with the original headline, but I don't have an archive link.
