The first quarter of the 21st century has failed to generate a Left worthy of its historical name. The Millennial Left tried to take on socialism to rail against liberalism, and in so doing fell below both, back into the deadend of the 20th century.

Now with the Millennial Left all but disintegrated, the American Revolution stands 250 years out from its birth. It inaugurated the founding of a revolutionary society. We are still tasked by that revolution, whether we like it or not. In modernity, this revolution takes the form of socialism.

Sublation Magazine starts at the quarter century and the quarter millennium. What it sees before it are the unresolved tasks of the modern revolution. Sublation Magazine aims to be the place where history in open debate can be reworked so that a Left adequate to the 21st century can be born, so that these half-remembered tasks — beyond the back and forth of populism and progressivism, fascism and communism, neoconservatism and neoliberalism, indeed of liberalism and socialism itself — might be overcome.

We are an open submission magazine. Our typical articles run between 1000 and 3000 words, though we welcome longer pieces if the reflection demands it. Please email submissions or pitches to submag@sublationmedia.com. We will attempt to respond to all inquiries and welcome aspiring and veteran writers alike.
