[LAF] Magazine

Sat Jul 4 22:30:59 UTC 2009

The main thing would be non-sectarianism, I like all these mags and will continue to contribute to some within their own ideological context, though all are ideologically non-anarchist and relatively sectarian (Dialectica - Post Marxist, Aufheben - Libertarian Communist and Last Hours - Counter Cultural). Nothing wrong with any of them, but I think there's a space for a radical mag that will publish all positions as well as criticize them from a purely anarchist position, a kind of LAF in print. I think all of them have editorial control too, i.e they only publish what they agree with, where as Radical Voice would be simply a megaphone for whoever wanted to speak (subject to practical limitations and perhaps immediate situational relevance). Plus I have things to say that would probably get censored from most other mags. The only things that wouldn't get published would be anything conservative or 'radically' right wing, hence the title.
