LM network resources

Living Marxism was a publication of the Revolutionary Communist Party launched in late 1988. After the dissolution of the party in 1996 it was renamed as LM magazine. It closed following a libel action taken by TV broadcaster ITN in 2000. A core of those associated with te RCP and LM magazine went on to form a wide variety of other organisations which took forwards their libertarian and allegedly 'humanist' views in what has been dubbed the LM network.

LM also published a number of pamphlets a continuation of the kind of material regularly put out by the RCP and published by Junius Publications. This page lists all the contents of Living Marxism/LM, pamphlets and books published by LM together with a listing of online commentaries it published beween 1995 and 2000.
