Editor of socialist magazine 'Current Affairs' fires staff 'for trying to start a worker co-op'

Five former staff members of the socialist magazine Current Affairs say that they were fired for trying to organize a workers co-op.

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.

The former staff members wrote: "Dear comrades, We, the former full and part-time staff, write to you with deep sadness and disappointment about recent events that have occurred at Current Affairs. On August 8th, editor-in-chief Nathan J. Robinson (author of Why You Should Be A Socialist) unilaterally fired most of the workforce to avoid an organizational restructuring that would limit his personal power. Yes, we were fired by the editor-in-chief of a socialist magazine for trying to start a worker co-op."

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.

On August 8, "he started removing people from the company Slack, and sent letters requesting resignations, eliminating positions, and in some cases offering new 'honorary titles' which would have no say in governance."

Gab es so etwas ähnliches hierzulande nicht schon mal mit dem Salonsozialisten Jakob Augstein, der die Mitarbeiter seines linken Blatts unentgeltlich auf Praktikantenstellen schuften lässt?

Die Revolution frisst ihre Kinder. Das Sozialismus immer nur für die Anderen gilt, aber nicht für die "Elite" weiß jeder Mensch, der sein Hirn nutzt.

Fun fact: was ist das Gegenteil von "Naiv, realitätsverweigernd, ideologisch verbohrt und vernagelt" ?

Die deutsche Sprache geht davon aus, dass es einen mentalen Normalzustand gibt, der seine Umwelt bewusst, offen und realitätsbezogen wahrnimmt.
Dabei ist das exakte Gegenteil der Fall: ideologisch fanatisierte Leute, die unbeeinflussbar in ihre Filterblase leben und unbeirrt von Fakten ihren persönlichen Irrsinn durchprügeln wollen - die sind der Normalzustand.

Sprachlich kann ich deswegen nicht ausdrücken, dass ich liberal, offen und realitätsbezogen bin, aber genau deswegen eine Ausnahme darstelle und zu einer verschwindenen Minderheit gehöre.
