Socialism's fanciest lad turns out to be a big bad boss all along. Socialist magazine Current Affairs boss Nathan J. Robinson, author of "Why You Should Be A Socialist", fired most of his workforce because they tried to start a worker's co-op.

To be fair his book wasn't called "Why I Should be a Socialist."

Dictators love socialism as long as they are in charge.

Hilarious. His Twitter has become a shitstorm, this tweet being particularly entertaining:

If you're an active member of your DSA chapter & would be willing to be interviewed for some CA writing & academic research I am doing on how socialists organize, please email nathan@currentaffairs.org. Particularly interested in New Orleans & Chicago but welcome all respondents. - https://twitter.com/NathanJRobinson/status/1426620678820831232

Unsurprisingly, many are suggesting he interview the staff he fired. Personally I'd say his staff got of light. Had the good comrades been living in the society they wish for they'd be digging their own graves at gunpoint.
