Socialist/Marxist blogs for my boyfriend who keeps sending me neoliberal blog posts
My boyfriend admits that his blog pool needs some work. He's been asking me for my take on certain posts by authors who have literally been named "Chief Neoliberal Shill" of the year 😐 but my praxis isn't good enough. I do Breadtube more for this kind of thing so was wondering if you guys can recommend some well researched/balanced blogs to follow for socialist and marxist takes on current events. Thanks
just random pages of mao's assorted writing as hosted on the glorious internet 1.0 ass marxists org
redsails, but read them and vet them first because some of them are a little bit... online
Also dash the internet Marxist: dashthered.medium.com/
Hang out in the news thread, we fucking love articles that demolish neoliberal bullshit
just reply with "lmao this shits dumb asf" and punch him in the stomach. he'll get the idea.
Get them banned from Destiny/whatever streamer slop they are on.
Remember that you cannot fix him.
Not all necessarily Marxist/socialist but good jumping points for deprogramming a lib:
Naked Capitalism
Moon of Alabama
Current Affairs (yeah some bad hot takes on Marxism but the presentation is good for swaying libs)
Institute for New Economic Thinking (not always left wing but does challenge orthodox economics)
VoxEU (not affiliated with that Vox; similar in content to the above)
Also Jacobin, responsible statecraft, thenation, readthemaple
Current Affairs
Can I get a link to this one? Can't find it
Democracy Now is solid, especially for just breaking out of typical neoliberal media.

I need context on this lol
Was a post by this dude, one sentence in I had a bad feeling and checked his Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah_Smith_(writer) "Smith has appeared on the Neoliberal Project's podcast multiple times[21] and was labeled the "Chief Neoliberal Shill" by the group in 2018"

Ben Norton is essential reading / listening, but goddamn does he repeat himself way too often.
@pancake_angel_cat@lemmygrad.ml Try this if he has any interest in history.

Read Capital Vol. 1 to him at bedtime.
mgouldhawke.wordpress.com rehosts a lot of articles from anarchist, communist, and indigenous perspectives, plus reading lists
If you wanna drive them mad with jargon I'd recommend Kites Journal and Cosmonaut, Kites is a maoist publication and Cosmonaut is eclectic communism so their mileage may vary
Not really a blog but monthlyreview.org. Lots of good free resources there. And paid stuff too, of course
Nakedcapitalism.com is really good. Probably more demsoc than Marxist, but maybe that's good so you don't scare him away
Left Voice is pretty good, they are trots but have a better view on international news than neolib sites
Consider cross-posting to the various Socialism communities. Also consider Anarchism and related subs like Work Reform.
Thank you, felt kind of lost where to post this but appreciate the start!

Oof good luck with lib boyfriend
Read 10 Days that shook the world with him
I'll plug the blog of Denver DSA comrade and previous podcast guest Joe Mayall, who writes about socialism in a way that liberals can understand: joewrote.com
