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, although associated organisations will typically have overlapping personnel, themes, views and techniques and will promote each other.

A defining characteristic of the network is the positioning of its organisations as catalysts for open debate, while they in reality have an extreme and rigid 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. A number of the organisations explicitly target young people.
