Left wing mags today - any recommendations?

[Fedayn]

Tbf has some reasonable articles in it every now and again. The editor is very active

Aye, he is a decent follow on Twitter.

Spectre- edited by David McNally is okay if you can find a copy.

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:

Spectre: A Marxist Journal

Spectre is a new Marxist journal that understands anti-oppression struggles as constitutive of class struggle. Pro-Black, pro-queer, and resolutely internationalist.

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.

This Irish mag is in paper form and the ones I've seen have been decent. Some focus on Ireland but not too much Rupture - Eco-socialist Quarterly

They do a hard copy? You know I don't think I've ever seen it.

Does Do or Die still exist? Was a quarterly anarchist publication and very good insight into anarchism today and historically.

Yep, you can buy on their website. It's fairly new I think. I found them at a bookfair stall.

Sadly not as far as I know. Not for years now.

Was great

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

Time is a bourgeoise construct, purely designed to make the railways run on....hang on a minute, I'll think of the word...

By American standards, it's positively revolutionary.

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.

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:

Looks like he bought Tom Wolfe's wardrobe at an estate sale.

You might of course expect me to recommend this: Notes From the Borderland--latest issue. Rather sharp if I say so myself....

 

[Larry O'Hara]

And of course this publication, also just out. Everybody knows (rightly) about the Stephen Lawrence case, but how many know, or have the slightest interest, in The 1999 Soho Nail-Bombing Scandal Revisited. Very few, which is a great shame...How good if this was to alter. Any takers?
