Five former staff members of the socialist magazine Current Affairs say that they were fired for trying to organize a workers co-op. On Wednesday they shared in an open letter that they had been fired for "organizing for better work conditions."

Nathan J. Robinson, a socialist commentator who founded the magazine in 2015, allegedly was not happy with the organizational restructuring that was happening and felt that his powers were being limited, the Daily Wire reported.

Robinson, author of the 2019 book Why You Should be a Socialist said in a tweet that he was looking to interview current Democratic Socialists of America members for research that he was doing on how socialists organize. ...

They said that Robinson's organizational model for the magazine was an egalitarian one where everyone's voice mattered, but when it came to discussing organizational structure via Zoom on August 7, his demeanor changed and he became hostile.  ...

The foppish M. Robinson

Old Russian joke:

Under capitalism, man exploits man.

Under socialism, it is the other way around.
The Republic is lost.
