Heya. Regarding Marxist feminism, primarily it seems that was taken from The masthead of columnists and contributing editors mixes Catholic anti-liberals and dissident Marxist feminists, ...[1]. I do think it's accurate to call Nina Power that, even acknowledging her describing herself as an "open-minded centrist" (e.g. here's a recent paper of hers and some commentary on it which seems to affirm that). Idk much at all about Leila Mechoui, but given she discusses A Marxist lens on topics including prostitution, it may apply to her too? Not sure. Bottom line though, The New York Times has quite robust fact-checking, and if it's good enough for the NYT to describe the masthead as including "dissident Marxist feminists", then it's good enough for Wikipedia.

Regarding monetisation, just clicking around it seems some articles are paywalled and others aren't? For me, this article is paywalled and this one isn't, and their subscription page notes that subscribing gives you unlimited access to all articles, which would seem to agree with that. I agree with some of this information being a bit extraneous and outdated though, so I'll update it in line with some of your/my comments in a sec. Endwise (talk) 11:14, 2 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

There are some writers for this magazine that are definitely weird, especially Malcolm Kyeyune and the founder Sohrab Ahmari. It seems that Kyeyune and Ahmari are trying to push economic populism in the republican party without the social conservatism or cultural conservatism which is very strange because Ahmari seems to have blind obedience to the Vatican and the Pope. Ahmari seems to refrain from criticizing the Vatican or the Pope even when other conservatives, including socially conservative catholics and culturally conservative catholics are starting to seriously criticize the Vatican and the Pope. Other conservative institutions and individuals seem to also be trying to move towards economic populism but they are doing it with social conservatism and cultural conservatism and this seems to make Kyeyune, Ahmari and some "post-liberals" angry and offended because Kyeyune, Ahmari and some "post-liberals" seem to think that social conservatism or cultural conservatism is not compatible with economic populism which is a weird political position.
