Jacobin founder Bhaskar Sunkara is super-stoked about his new book, and he wants all of you to be super-stoked about it, too:

My first book is out on Tuesday. If you’re in New York, the release event is on Tuesday at The Strand w/ Amber Frost. https://t.co/cDERwXhR3w pic.twitter.com/67rkdA8ukV — Bhaskar Sunkara (@sunraysunray) April 26, 2019

Isn’t this exciting?!

where can i get my free copy comrade? — William (@deathd0tcom) April 26, 2019

I hope you aren't charging for it. — Keiteu (@kilomikealpha76) April 26, 2019

You giving it away for free, comrade? — Ahmed Johnson's Thong (@AhmedsThong) April 26, 2019

I assume it’s free. In keeping with the theme — Steve McDavid (@JSMcDavid67) April 26, 2019

Well, not exactly:

$28? That’s pretty steep for a socialist manifesto …

Wait – I have to buy it…? That’s unfair. — Cornbread (@HoldFast33) April 26, 2019

I’m going to steal your book because I don’t believe in capitalism. Keep up the good work comrade — DirkDiggler (@DirkDig21786284) April 26, 2019

Where can I download a digital copy for free? Print is a waste of resources and very polluting. Print media is a legacy of capitalism. — What a Maroon (@JWL34012576) April 26, 2019

Everyone pays as they’re able, I assume. I’m not as selfish as everyone wanting it for free, because that’s absurd. I’ll give you 50 cents. — Just Some Guy (@jeremylatzke) April 26, 2019

Is it free or are we all getting a portion of the sales? — I’m Jim Acosta’s Love Child (@JimAcostaJr) April 26, 2019

Cool. How are you distributing the proceeds? — Mad William Flint (@madwilliamflint) April 26, 2019

Sweet! I’ll DM you where you can send my share of the proceeds. — DG (@7pints) April 26, 2019

Where will proceeds from sales of glorious manifesto book be redistributed, comrade? — Victor Tango Kilo (@GenghisKhet) April 26, 2019

Be sure to redistribute the profits to less successful authors — TheRealEdSullivan (@EdTheAdm) April 26, 2019

Can't wait to receive my first "according to his needs" check from your profits, comrade. I've got some bills over here that need your attention – thanks in advance! — Jay Dubb (@MidasRex1998) April 26, 2019

Do you recognize the incongruity of using capitalism to promote socialism? — Chris (@ChrisMears00) April 26, 2019

Clearly he does not:

Notice that he tweeted this announcement from an iPhone… — Joseph Gonzales (@joseph7gonzales) April 26, 2019

Sounds about right.

I assume you’re sending all proceeds to the government ? — Campbell F. (@blueshirtsfan81) April 26, 2019

I’m sending all my royalties to a socialist organization, with the hopes that one day the government can be overthrown! https://t.co/rrdMHAFnuv — Bhaskar Sunkara (@sunraysunray) April 26, 2019

A socialist organization called “Bhaskar Sunkara’s Bank Account.”

And what about this?

I understand charging for the book by why $15 just to attend the event? How do you square that with Bernie Sanders’ economic advisor going so far as to at airline seats could be made free? Will you give away remaining seats on Tuesday if such resource exists? pic.twitter.com/zXxst5JgOP — Boomieleaks (@notwokieleaks) April 26, 2019

The bookstore charges $15 (which people get as store credit) to cover their staff time and overhead. — Bhaskar Sunkara (@sunraysunray) April 26, 2019

You mean … services cost money and providers of those services don’t want to work for free? Get outta town!
