Ines Schwerdtner (born 1989[1]) is a German publicist. Until the summer of 2023, she was editor-in-chief of the German-language edition of the socialist magazine Jacobin.[2] Since then, she has been the sole editor of the Hyperpolitik Podcast. On August 25, 2023, she declared her entry into the Party "The Left"(Die Linke) and announced her intention to run for its list in the European elections.[3]
Life
[edit]Schwerdtner grew up in Werdau, Saxony.[4] She studied Political Science and English at the Free University of Berlin and was the overall coordinator of the magazine Das Argument before joining Jacobin. In addition, she was the host of the political podcast halbzehn.fm. She publishes political analyses and commentaries, among other things, in Der Freitag and in Analyse & kritik. In 2019 she wrote a guest commentary together with Marco Bülow at Business Insider.[5]
Schwerdtner is involved in the initiative Deutsche Wohnen & Co. enteignen.[6] As official representative for Jacobin, she is also one of the initiators of the "Enough is Enough" campaign, which was founded in 2022 in response to rising prices following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and what she sees as insufficient government action to support poorer segments of the population.[7][8]
Since 2022, Schwerdtner has been a member of the advisory board of the "Recherchefonds" of the Austrian foundation COMÚN.[9]
In 2023, as a member of the collective MF3000, she was involved in the book Ändern wir die Welt, sie braucht es! Eine marxistisch-feministische Ansage (Let's Change the World, A Marxist-Feminist Announcement), published by Querverlag. She also co-edited with Lukas Scholle the anthology Genug! (Enough!)[10]
