Dissent (American magazine)

Democratic socialist. Irving Howe and Lewis Coser launched Dissent in 1954 as an independent socialist journal that was also firmly anti-Communist, and that double refusal still sets its tone: it argues for the left while arguing with it. This is the quarterly to pick for the left's internal debates conducted in good faith, with long essays on labor, democracy and the welfare state that take objections seriously. It is slower and more reflective than the web-first left magazines, which is the point.
