I felt a real sense of loss after the ISO dissolved. Although political
differences over Cuba and Venezuela (as well as old age) prevented me
from joining, I highly valued their newspaper and magazine that
consistently defended a class line on electoral politics. When I
discovered that a significant layer of their membership had joined the
DSA and become Bernie Sanders supporters, the sense of loss became
keener. When long-time revolutionary socialist Paul Le Blanc began
sounding indistinguishable from the Jacobin writers, who all sounded
alike on Sanders for that matter, I began to look for alternatives. To
some extent, the principled left positions could still be found in
“Against the Current” and “New Politics”. As for “Against the Current”,
it will most likely continue even after Solidarity folds. You can also
rely on “New Politics” to have many years ahead of it.
The alternatives under consideration here, except for the first, are
strictly online publications, thus making them accessible to people not
willing to spend hard-earned money during a time of complete financial
collapse. I have contributed to a couple of them (Left Voice,
Regeneration) and encourage you to be generous when they request
donations. So, without further ado:
