Very sleek stuff, but reading the analysis gives bad vibes - what is their deal? Trot stuff? Can someone give me a good workup (I’m lazy)?

Jacobin is like the DSA, all over the place and often quite shit
Even the other trots dunk on them, e.g. WSWS - Jacobin magazine embraces Trump administration’s murderous “herd immunity” policy
As long as they’re not talking about how communist AES is WSWS has fairly good takes.
Or ML parties, broadly speaking
WSWS published a series of articles defending Roman Polanski and a bunch of stuff against #MeToo. I don’t think they have good takes outside AES either. I believe that they think feminism is “identity politics” and a distraction from revolution, which will somehow unify the whole working class without addressing the special problems within its constituent blocs. Common L.
Ooff. Ok yeah that’s some spiked com grade squick right there
Stalin Head In Hands: Just send them to Siberia to work it out
I think they’re closer to where the DSA was maybe 6-7 years ago when it was basically an amalgam of social democratic aims and means with Trotskyist analysis.
