Taki Mag is my conservative rag of choice. I enjoy it because it's the most honest reflection of popular right-wing sentiment (it's racist). Has funny writers I can't help but like, like Ann Coulter and Jim Goad.
As far as the left goes, I've really been enjoying Red Sails recently, though it's basically two peoples' blog. Lots of well written pieces from an explicitly Marxist-Leninist perspective, which agree or disagree, is way more interesting than the "AOC/Bernie said X" snoozefests Jacobin churns out these days.
- User23 5y agoEveryone who’s anyone on the left reads Sailer’s Takimag column regularly. It’s pretty funny. Although in my opinion he’s most entertaining when he nerds out on golf course design and moneyball. Red Sails is a great recommendation. Thanks! Do you happen to know a good English language magazine or blog for Xi Jinping Thought? As far as I can tell Marxism/Leninism is just an historical curiosity, but Socialism with Chinese Characteristics is a truly effective if not palatable living Communist system.
- jim-jim-jim 5y agoMaybe I was not precise enough with my language when I said ML. The people at Red Sails are very optimistic about Chinese socialism. They express this in their own pieces, but also share translations from Chinese figures.
