Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump's ambassador to Greece, allegedly said of toppling governments: “We can do it here too.”
Behind the scandal lies a story of US natural gas, Greek capital, and lobbyists cashing in on Southeast Europe's new energy order. jacobin.com/2026/10/greece-g…
Donald Trump’s popularity may be waning, but the political-economic conditions that gave rise to Trumpism remain, Adolph Reed argues.
To defeat the Right, the Left needs to rebuild durable working-class organization and a universalistic politics. jacobin.com/2026/10/reed-fas…
The rival blocs contesting Israel’s general election differ over many questions, but they converge in their opposition to a Palestinian state.
Even if Benjamin Netanyahu loses power, the occupation will continue. jacobin.com/2026/10/israeli-…
The US military invaded Grenada on this day in 1983.
We should remember not only the crisis and imperialist invasion that brought the Grenadian Revolution to an end, but also its tremendous accomplishments. jacobin.com/2021/03/grenada-…
Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump’s ambassador to Greece, has resigned.
Her farewell statement lays bare the bigger story: how American exporters and Greek capital collude to make ordinary households foot the bill for their new energy order. jacobin.com/2026/10/greece-g…
In “Late Victorian Holocausts,” Mike Davis showed how late 19th-century state violence and neglect created colonial markets and infrastructures, which, combined with shifting weather patterns, led to astonishingly brutal famines across the Global South.

Mike Davis’s first book was "Prisoners of the American Dream," a deep exploration of how the US labor movement became so weakened.
Davis revisited the book in an interview with Jacobin nearly four decades later.

In the imbroglio over Picasso’s misogyny and many personal flaws, the memory of his unabashed leftist politics has been lost — and with it our ability to fully consider his place in history.

Israel’s election on Tuesday is the first since October 7, 2023.
Even if Benjamin Netanyahu’s government loses, it’s unlikely to lead to a real shift in Israeli policy. jacobin.com/2026/10/israel-p…
To understand the global appeal of the far right, look to Brazil, where Bolsonarismo has capitalized on social disintegration to cement brute exploitation as the dominant social logic. jacobin.com/2026/10/brazil-f…
The economist Hyman Minsky died 30 years ago today.
Best known for his theory of financial instability, Minsky developed a view of capitalism and its mutations that was far more radical than many of those who cite his work appreciate. jacobin.com/2026/10/minsky-f…
Rather than slink back from its globally condemned genocidal conduct over the past three years, Israel is actually ratcheting up its psychotically bloody and illegal conduct right now. jacobin.com/2026/10/israel-g…
Diana Buttu, a Palestinian Canadian lawyer who lives in Haifa, explains why she’ll be casting a vote in Tuesday’s Israeli election, and why she doesn’t think the holding of the election makes Israel a real democracy. jacobin.com/2026/10/israel-p…
The idea that countries of the capitalist periphery would, in the inevitable march of economic progress, come to resemble the US and Europe has been turned on its head.
Instead, are we witnessing the “Brazilianization” of the world? jacobin.com/2026/10/brazil-f…
Thirty years after Hyman Minsky’s death, his name is more familiar than his political economy.
Whenever a financial boom turns into panic, someone announces a new “Minsky moment.”
This posthumous fame has narrowed our understanding of Minsky’s legacy. jacobin.com/2026/10/minsky-f…
No country has a rap sheet that comes close to the length and breadth of Israel’s recent bloody, barbaric, and illegal violations. jacobin.com/2026/10/israel-g…
For two decades, Israel has obstructed any kind of democratic process in the occupied territories.
Even through changes of government in Israel, the main parties have made sure that Palestinians’ voice remains stifled. jacobin.com/2026/10/israel-p…
