What magazine/paper/periodical most shaped your political thinking?

Economic & Philosophic Science Review is something to behold. A bastion in the fight against false revolutionaries, paragraph breaks,....and this issue, sanctimonious feminist single-issue PCism!:

No 1523 4th November 2017
Let governments (and all parliamentary fraud) topple through sleaze and degeneracy, the more the merrier and November 5th too. But feminist hysteria and nonsense about a “crisis of masculinity” are PCist obscurantism blocking understanding of the real cause of chaos, incompetence and disintegration. That is the gigantic looming capitalist Catastrophe which far from being solved by Quantitative Easing, has been made one hundred times worse and about to implode with devastating consequences.
(my bourgeois paragraph break added)


Feminist posturing blocks this understanding with its shallow reverse sexism and scapegoating, underlain with its real character, poisonous anti-communism. It is completely counter-revolutionary whatever “celebrations” it joins for the 100th anniversary of the Great October Revolution. So too is the desperate posturing around Brexit or breakaway petty bourgeois nationalism like Catalonia, just as suddenly and febrilely erupting as a giant diversion. What the world needs now is to build revolutionary understanding to overturn the entire degenerate, unequal armsrace system. Build Leninism


Current issue EPSR revolutionary Leninist socialist review

Theres plenty more where that came from....

"
The sudden wave of establishment sleaze revelations (Hollywood and parliament), the seeming eruption out of the blue of worldwide reactionary “nationalist” breakaways like Catalonia, Iraqi Kurdistan and Brexit, and topdog America’s astonishingly bitter ruling class infighting around Trump, all make no real sense - unless they are examined in the light of the capitalist system’s crisis breakdown and failure.

But even then these are only the superficial symptoms of disaster, and the feminist shark-frenzy of self-righteous man-blaming, or “left” demands for “self-determination democracy” are nothing but total diversions by opportunist middle class fakery.

Worse still, both this deluge of sanctimonious feminist single-issue PCism, and the posturing about “freedom” struggles for “national rights” or “defending the right for free movement of labour because anything else is racism” are not only missing the point but blocking the only possible way that human society can be sorted out, and be made rational, fair and free of abuse."

Can't believe that's still going, 12 years (?) after Royston died. Wow!

Is that still going? I used to pick that up (and the other one) for completeness' sake back in the 90s/early 00s and even then it was all the way up to 11 on the Bruno knob. I managed to palm off the whole job lot to some squatted 'anarchist information centre' along with innumerable Weekly Workers and the like :thumbs:

At college we used to play virtual stockmarket which was good fun. I was never good at it, and, as in real life, never won.

Schnews was great and I used to enjoy their website too. I think I'm right in saying that they are defunct now though which is a shame. I forgot to mention Resistance, which is the freesheet of the anarchist federation, oh and Black Flag magazine.

Yes....the changing nature of media was their exuse. It used to be on every protest camp coffe table, and had a good sense of humor :thumbs:
 
My list is probably slightly different in order than others, because I'm guessing I'm a tad younger, and I've ended up working my way back through online scans of older publications (in no small part due to other posters enthusing about them on urban). So, roughly in the order that I stumbled across them;

Organise!/Resistance/Rebel City
Kittens
Aufheben
Subversion
Fighting Talk
Red Action
