The LM network or LM group is a loosely constituted political grouping of individuals and organisations sharing a common and extreme anti-environmentalist and libertarian ideology. It is led and largely populated by individuals associated with the now defunct Revolutionary Communist Party and its principal publication, also defunct, Living Marxism. The network itself has no public presence or acknowleged existence, although associated organisations will typically have overlapping personnel, themes, views and techniques and will promote each other.

Many of the techniques are those of the RCP, including the creation of numerous organisations without apparent formal links, the use of martial terminology and the early adoption of leading edge communication techniques.

A defining characteristic of the network is the positioning of its organisations as catalysts for open debate, while in reality they have an extreme libertarian and anti-environmental stance which the debates are intended to promote. The principal themes of support for economic development and freedom from regulation objectively benefit corporate interests and the larger and more established organisations seek corporate sponsorship. Several of the organisations explicitly target young people.

Principal Current Organisations

The LM network appears to have some influence with the Genetic Interest Group, Progress, the Science Media Centre and Sense About Science.
