Critique Journal, what is it?
http://www.critiquejournal.net/
Any users here have any particular thoughts, perspectives on it? Particularly Trotskyist perspectives?

[Anglo-Saxon Philistine]

A revisionist academic journal (they publish a lot of Meszaros if I recall correctly) chiefly associated with Ticktin, famous for his semi-Shachtmanist theory of a "non-mode of production" which, like most of these "neither transitional nor capitalist" theories, no one can make sense of.

Could you elaborate on 'revisionist'?

[Q]

I have a subscription on it since last year and I enjoy the reads. The price is too steep though... The publisher, Taylor & Francis, is rather outrageous in that regard.

Meszaros thinks that with the fall of the Soviet Union, capitalism is little more than American dominance; he was a notorious Hegelianiser of Marx and a long-time supporter of Chavez.

Ticktin has added to Marxist theory the dubious notion of a non-mode of production, which is an economic configuration that no one can make sense of, but it's shit, but it isn't "bureaucratic collectivism" because that's not popular anymore.
