notable "jacobin" contributors have included slavoj žižek, bob herbert, yanis varoufakis, hilary wainwright, kareem abdul-jabbar, jeremy corbyn and pablo iglesias turrión. sunkara has said he feels that "all of our writers fit within a broad socialist tradition", noting that the magazine does sometimes publish articles by liberals and social democrats, but that such pieces are written from a perspective that is consistent with the magazine's editorial vision, saying that "we might publish a piece by a liberal advocating single-payer healthcare, because they’re calling for the decommodification of a sector; and since we believe in the decommodification of the whole economy, it fits in". in terms of the sociological background of contributors, sunkara acknowledged that they were mostly under the age of 35 and stated that "there are a lot of grad students, young adjunct professors or tenured professors. we also have quite a few organizers and union researchers involved [...] and people working in ngos or around housing rights, that kind of thing".
