LV Magazine January
or: Previous Issues

As a new year begins, we present the third issue of our online magazine, which appears on the first Sunday of every month. This issue is dedicated to theoretical and strategic debates. The first three articles — translated from our sister magazine Ideas de Izquierda — polemicize in different ways with “postcapitalist” thinkers who believe that technology alone will liberate humanity. This issue closes with a critique of the “rank-and-file” strategy popularized by Kim Moody.

We are making the contents of this magazine freely available all at once. Yet we still need support to build up a revolutionary socialist publication. If you enjoy this magazine, please consider donating $5, $10, or whatever you can. You can make a contribution via Paypal or Patreon.

The Housing Crisis and Migrant Crisis Are Crises of Capitalism

As thousands of people come to the U.S. seeking shelter, politicians around the country are claiming that housing in the U.S. is already in crisis and that there is no room for them. Both the “migrant crisis” and “housing crisis” are crises created and exacerbated by capitalism.
