==History==
Jacobin was started in 2010 by Bhaskar Sunkara, an American political writer and publisher. It originally was an online only magazine but started publishing in print later the same year.
Sunkara stated that the aim of the magazine was to combine resolutely socialist politics with the accessibility of older political magazines like The Nation. Most socialist publications were orientated towards established socialist parties and Sunkara sought a broader audience while still anchoring the magazine in a Marxist perspective. 
Jacobin's popularity grew during Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign, with subscriptions tripling from 10,000 in the summer of 2015 to 32,000 as of the first issue of 2017. The election of Donald Trump also helped increased the magazine's popularity, with 16,000 new subscribers in only a few months after his election. Jacobin is credited as part of the revival of American interest in Socialism and Marxism, particularly among Millennials and Gen Z.
== Ideology ==
Jacobin has been described as Democratic Socialist, Socialist and Marxist. 
Sunkara credited Michael Harrington as an ideological influence, whom he described as "very underrated as a popularizer of Marxist thought". Ralph Milibrand, C. L. R. James, Leo Panitch, George Orwell and Karl Kautsky were also named as ideological influences.
