lyta gold, fired for doing socialism on Twitter

I am grieved to tell you that @nathanjrobinson has effectively fired me & most of the @curaffairs staff because we were trying to organize into a worker’s co-op. This isn’t a bit. I wish it was. https://t.co/0lmnJlzAEX pic.twitter.com/5P6U88d4VR— lyta gold, fired for doing socialism (@lyta_gold) August 18, 2021

The Nathan J Robinson haters were right all along

    What. No.

    I...goddamnit. Current Affairs is what got me into leftism at a time when Jacobin was "too radical" for me. The style of writing, the visual design, the podcast, the people everything was just incredible. I...can't believe it.

    This is horrible. Full support to all (ex)-workers of Current Affairs. And fuck NJR.

      Say what you will about communists worshipping old dead people too much, but at least dead people can't do anything more to disappoint you.

          Fidel comes back to life only to willingly step on the rake the CIA labelled “Foot Activated Ice Cream Dispensing Pedal” and gets sideshow Bob’d to death

      Jacobin was “too radical” for me.
