The voice of the revolution has been silenced

[–] miz@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago

recommend archiving all the good articles before they are disappeared

Boo.

I got my daughter a teen vogue subscription a few years ago for Christmas and renew it every year. She asked for it, and I figured it was a good way for her to get her girly fix and expose her to some good takes on political items, when a political item was in an issue.

I'm a dumb middle aged kind of guy so is there another mag like that, that has good politics?

If you haven't seen it, we have c/parenting on this site :)

[–] dead@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

Maybe Rolling Stone? It has some good articles but not specific to teens or girls.

[–] dead@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I see a few of the writers of Teen Vogue have promoted Lux magazine, a socialist-feminist magazine inspired by the principles of Rosa Luxembourg. It says they publish 3 physical issues per year. Maybe too overtly political if you are trying to be discreet.

Not so much trying to be discreet as opposed to bumping up against my limit wrt theory. I'm just a dumb kind of guy and have limits.

But that team put SO MUCH care into editing & fact-checking it.

The care, precision, and awareness of the larger context a story existed in was exceptional.

I'd bet money that's exactly why it's being dismantled. Anna Wintour only left her editor-in-chief job at Vogue earlier this year so she could become CCO at Vogue's parent company.

"Do you really think a company would do that? Promote a person compared to literal Satan due their elitism, classism, and vocal anti-veganism to a position higher up?"

Kim Kelly had a labor column with them, too. I've been reminded of this quote recently:

“A friend once put it to me very succinctly: ‘A building trades guy is someone who will look you in the eye, shake your hand, call you a brother, and build you a concentration camp if you asked him to,’” says one former researcher for the United Brotherhood of Carpenters. “Solidarity meant being in a fight until our union got an agreement to build that new condo complex or prison.”

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My sicko-flipped is hoping you mean widespread self-immolation at treat distribution centers, but my sicko-no is telling me that you mean making the sandwiches come on time.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Oh no i meant shaking your hand calling you brother and then taking the job to build a concentration camp.

They need to release a red issue as tradition calls for

The worker's union of Condenast, Vogue's parent company, condemns the merger and layoffs, threatens action.

Conde Nast, full of class as always.

In her Instagram stories, assistant food editor Sohla El-Waylly described “systematic racism that runs rampant within Conde Nast as a whole," including being "pushed in front of video as a display of diversity" and not being paid fairly — unlike the mostly white talent who have their own Test Kitchen shows and are compensated through separate contracts with Condé Nast Entertainment.

I remember there being many other such stories when this broke and even after their apology and Rapoport left, the outlook didn't look good.

Conde Nast holds the majority of Reddit.

Hitler-ass company.

:::spoiler Suppression of Teen Vogue

Some time ago Washington demanded that the local authorities reintroduce a state of siege in Chicago. They intended to use martial law to suppress Teen Vogue, but met with unexpected resistance. The municipal authorities of Chicago then turned to the judiciary here in order to achieve the same purpose by arbitrary arrests. But this failed on account of the legal scruples of the judiciary, just as it had failed twice before on account of the common sense of the juries. There was nothing for it but to resort to a Police ruse, and this, for the time being, has achieved its purpose. Teen Vogue ceases publication for the present. Its Editor-in-Chief Karl Marx received the following official note:

"The tendency of Teen Vogue to provoke in its readers contempt for the present government, and incite them to violent revolutions and the setting up of a social republic has become stronger in its latest pieces" (!). "The right of hospitality" (!) "which he so disgracefully abused, is therefore to be withdrawn from its Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Karl Marx, and since he has not obtained permission to prolong his stay in these states he is ordered to leave them within 24 hours. If he should not comply with this demand, he is to be conveyed across the border.

Why these absurd phrases, these official lies?

As to our tendency, did not the government know it? Have we not declared before the jury that it was now "the duty of the press to undermine the whole basis of the existing order"?

And the "social republic"? Have we proclaimed it only in the "latest pieces" of Teen Vogue?

Did we not speak plainly and clearly enough for those dullards who failed to see the "red" thread running through all our comments and reports on the American movement?

The November 7 issue of Teen Vogue says, "Assuming that arms will enable the counter-revolution to establish itself in the whole of America, money would then kill it in the whole of America. American bankruptcy, national bankruptcy would be the fate nullifying the victory. Bayonets crumble like tinder when they come into contact with the salient 'economic' facts. But developments will not wait for the bills of exchange drawn by the American states on the new American society to expire.

From the very beginning we did not consider it necessary to conceal our views. During a polemic with the judiciary here, we told you:

"The real opposition of Teen Vogue will begin only in the tricolor republic."

And at that time we were speaking with the judiciary. We summed up the old year in the following words

"The history of the American middle class between March and December shows that a purely middle-class revolution and the establishment of bourgeois rule in the form of a constitutional monarchy is impossible in America, and that the only alternatives are either a feudal absolutist counterrevolution or a social republican revolution."

Did we therefore have to advance our social republican tendency only in the "last pieces" of Teen Vogue? Did you not read our articles about the June revolution, and was not the essence of the June revolution the essence of our paper?

Why then your hypocritical phrases, your attempt to find an impossible pretext?

We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror. But the royal terrorists, the terrorists by the grace of God and the law, are in practice brutal, disdainful, and mean, in theory cowardly, secretive, and deceitful, and in both respects disreputable.

In parting we should like to remind our readers of the words printed in the first issue we published in January:

"The table of contents reads: Revolutionary rising of the American working class, world war."
