RABBLE REVIEW ISSUE nO.9
Multiple wars rage on, at least two genocides are happening, and fascist governments are consolidating their hold on a global population evermore on edge. These pages bear a deep seated fear, frustration, and uncertainty, that are in direct conversation with that reality. There’s an immediacy here that feels new. The clock isn’t just ticking anymore. The bell tolls as we tumble towards something—and we are all bracing ourselves for what it might be.
The work in RABBLE REVIEW No.9 reflects on the new horrors and indignities that have become normalized, as well as the quiet bits of joy and rebellion we have adopted in the face of unprecedented suffering.
We are proud to present RABBLE REVIEW No.9. Join us as we make sense of our current reality and fight towards something better.
Solidarity will see us through.
NOW AVAILABLE!
RABBLE REVIEW is a digital, mobile-first periodical launched in 2021.
Unapologetically leftist in politics, we recognize the complete abolition of capitalism, coerced labor, and the State as absolute pre-conditions for human and artistic liberation.
We want to capture the working class in its full spectrum, that is, we’re committed to solidarity among workers of all races, genders, sexual orientations, abilities, and their intersections. By spreading accessible leftist thought, encouraging direct action, and providing a space for revolutionary aesthetics to develop we hope to do our part in the radicalization and ultimate liberation of the working class.

Stuff we like...
We publish cool fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, hybrid forms, essays, criticism, and visual art. We love unexpected connections and juxtapositions that reveal, reflect, or surprise. Bold and interesting narratives. Poetry that makes use of the auditory, visual, and semantic dimensions of language. Concise and stark images that speak for themselves. We love art that ebbs and flows between fact and fiction, the real and surreal, between genres and mediums.
We like work that captures the experience of the working class, and dares to look ahead. We want to recognize our struggles — but also our joys; we want to hear about your shitty manager, but also about the feeling you get when you clock out, about the way the sunset looks on certain days, about an evening spent with friends, or about nothing all.
Though we embrace the political, your work doesn’t have to be. We want art in which we see ourselves, for a change; instead of safe and sterile representations in mainstream bourgeois media.
