From those who brought you the Jacobin magazine. Not read it but i have to say the format/illustrations seem inviting
They sent us a promotional email about this and we wanted to review it to go in next months special issue of the Socialist Standard .on socialism (with and without inverted commas) in the US but two potential reviewers tirned it down. I had a look at the cartoons. Some of them are ok, but there's some trendy trotskyism in there too, e.g. that the struggle for women's equality under capitalism is part of the class struggle and that oppressed people have the right to use violence.
As i said, what struck me was not the content which i will read later but the actual presentation which is suited for online circulation.Something our publications/internet committees may like to evaluate for any of our future pamphlets since it seems we may be a bit stuck in the past with our hard-copy print priority. Perhaps, designing for the web and the internet is more appropriate.
The party should look into commissioning artists for one off publications. The jacobin publication looks very attractive and of a high visual standard. Perhaps print copies could be sold at head office?
