This seems like the owner/EIC threw a temper tantrum when it seemed like he wouldn't retain all the power anymore.

  Yup. This is specifically about Nathan Robinson disappearing up his own ass lately. He's advanced some truly bad opinions of late, and it's probably his worst nightmare to be forced defend those opinions against his own staff and to maybe be overruled or publish opposing opinions on his own site. A lot of nominal "socialists" are the most traditional, patronizing, power-tripping, small-business tyrants when the rubber meets the road. The problem is that most socialisms don't have any concrete description of how a socialist workplace should actually operate, and nothing even approaching how one should work within a capitalist society.

    He has always been a conservative's parody of a socialist- a rich fancy lad pretending to care about the workers.

    I'm pretty sure most socialisms have a pretty good idea of how socialist workplaces should actually operate. i mean, the fired/quitted Current Affairs staffers were trying to start a worker co-op. does that not qualify as 'how a socialist workplace should actually operate'?
