LM network
The LM network or LM group is a loosely constituted political grouping sharing a common, anti-environmentalist, apparently libertarian ideology. It is populated principally by individuals associated with the now defunct Revolutionary Communist Party, its principal publication, also defunct, Living Marxism and a number of initatives and platforms launched by the group. The network itself has no public presence or acknowleged existence.
A defining characteristic of the network is the positioning of their organisations as catalysts for open debate, while in reality they have an extreme and rigid libertarian political stance. The larger and more established organisations seek corporate sponsorship.
