    Here is Sebastian Budgen (Senior Editor of Verso, Editorial Board of Historical Materialism, Contributing Editor to Jacobin) insulting Rockhill with ad-hominem attacks on social media for daring to criticize Western Marxism, and explicitly saying that he stopped the publishing of Rockhill’s book with them: https://x.com/GabrielRockhill/status/2005093043012337674

    • I’m not interested in going to bat for any publishing house or editorial team. I have no dogs in any of these races. I just mentioned something I noticed reading the same authors, first on verso, then on jacobin, and noticing the differences, even when speaking about the same topics.

      Then I just wrote some conjecture on whether this difference could be explained by each org’s editorial lines or teams, which seemed the most likely to me.

      Hope this clears up what I meant by the other comment.
