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.
I don’t understand what you meant by that comment, or if it was directed at me or the people you mentioned earlier.
It also feels to me like you have an axe to grind, and I’m not interested in participating or feeling like I have to keep explaining myself, so I’ll disengage.

This is how the Compatible left operates.

I am talking about Verso.
