The Nation Launches Metered Paywall System, Abandoning Its Commitment to the Utopian Socialist Collective

Well, that whole #ResistCapitalism meme caused a laugh riot on Twitter, so I guess this is par for the course.

Old Man Marx must be spinning in his grave.

At the Nation, "Paying for Journalism That Matters": 

The only way to read everything The Nation publishes (including our 150-year digital archive) has always been to subscribe. Unlike most magazines that rely on advertising to pay their bills, The Nation depends upon the support of our readers and the generosity of our donors. But starting on January 11, 2016, we’re changing to a different model of accessing all of our content online. We think this new metered system will better allow people to read and share our most important work during critical moments (after all, we’re working to help build a movement here), while also asking our regular readers to chip in to support our journalism. Here’s how it will work...

In other words, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Somebody's gotta pay, heh.

Still more.

Actually, you'll notice they're still committed to the socialist collective, it's just that the people's collective of peasants and workers is going to have to pony-up to get there.
