With the strap line ‘Reason in Revolt’, Jacobin tackles politics from a firmly leftist standpoint, offering socialist perspectives on politics, economics, and culture. Recent issues of Jacobin have seen the New York-crafted magazine expand; in terms of its physical size, pagination, and (by the looks of things) its team, which has also seen a reshuffle.

This special ‘Teen Issue’ of Jacobin turns to a generation of young socialists to refresh its Spring 2026 pages, with the hopes of eliminating its self-professed ‘reactionary millennial elements.’ Inside, you’ll find an interview with beloved hip hop trio Kneecap, notorious for their polemical on-stage protests in defence of Gaza and resulting censorship from several major festival stages; a feature exploring evergreen youth socialism, suggesting that Gen Z voters are increasingly scattered in response to institutions losing their legitimacy; plus, discover a dossier of contemporary slang spanning ‘rizz’, ‘skibidi’ and ‘sigma’ and a quiz to deduce the identity of your socialist sweetheart.
