This is full of stretches: "The editors of Jacobin had already announced their intention to press for more voluble support for border controls, in various contexts and articles." This sentences links to the article by Sam Gindin where he says, "To simply assert the righteousness of fully open borders in the present context of economic insecurity cannot help but elicit a backlash and will ultimately do little for refugees and future immigrants". I completely disagree with Gindin's argument that we shouldn't continue to stand firmly behind open borders, but his article is not the editors of Jacobin announcing anything at all. The same goes for the Die Linke article, proper link: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/02/die-linke-germany-sahra-wagenknecht-immigration-xenophobia-afd/ Thinking these views reflect the opinion of the editors of Jacobin is wrong. This doesn't mean there shouldn't be push back when they publish articles we disagree with, they can always do better. Their articles on Syria are a clear case of publishing absolute shit for a period and then turning it around. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
