Left wing mags today - any recommendations?

Yeah, someone posted a link up the thread - it doesn't look too bad, but a bit too much "purple hair, tattoos and piercings" for an auld fella like myself.
I think you may possibly be getting mixed up, I think previously someone only mentioned Salvage, Spectre is something different:
But it may also be a bit purple hair for your tastes? If you're open to US stuff, maybe Baffler or Brooklyn Rail might be worth a look but I dunno if the postage'd be a bugger. I picked up a copy of Against The Current while I was on holiday, that seems decent and worthy enough from a trot-but-not-too-bonkers-or-murderous perspective. Labor Notes is good at what it does but I dunno if that's what you're looking for? And it is just about yank stuff, so fair enough if that's not what you're looking for.
 
Does Do or Die still exist? Was a quarterly anarchist publication and very good insight into anarchism today and historically.
 
Only if you accept THE MAN's concept of linear time. Did them French people who allegedly shot them clocks at some point in the nineteenth century die for this?
Time is inexorably proletarian, regardless of capital's attempts to yoke and milk it
 
Picked up Socialist Voice (CPI thingy) in Connolly Books just now - not altogether terrible, for something that bears the Mark of the Student upon it (the old guard old guys who used to man the tills at Connolly Books are long gone, replaced by the sort of people who would have been Trekkies thirty years ago).

Oh, the young fella in glasses? He was listening to Paul Robeson when we were in there, the other week.
 
Current Affairs is another option. Amusingly named as though it were a mag you'd just pick up in the airport, it is in fact very left wing.
 
Is that the one run by the mad fecker who dresses like a Batman villain?
I don't think I knew what Robinson looked like before now, but just did a quick google and I suppose I can see what you mean:
