Red Pepper

Radical? Socialist? Green? Feminist? Red Pepper has been the voice of dissent spicing up politics for 20 years!

Defiant in its search for the truth, Red Pepper is a leading dissenting voice in British politics, independent of all political parties, debunking the myths that exist to protect powerful interests.

It seeks to be a space for debate, a resource for all movements for social justice, consistently internationalist and a home for anyone who wants a world based on equality, meaningful democracy and freedom.

Red Pepper is a non-profit magazine and exists because all those involved believe the left needs publications which are non-sectarian yet unafraid to take a stand, radical yet undogmatic, and thoughtful yet orientated on real-world activism.

‘There are those with courage who offer us a way forward’ Our Winter 2022 issue focuses on the role of water in shaping lives and livelihoods across various parts of the Global South, from the recent floods in Pakistan and grassroots activists’ responses, to water scarcity in Chile and the impact of new digital technology on water provision in Nairobi. We then turn back to the UK to examine the possibility of regaining public ownership of other resources. Amid the current wave of strikes across sectors including transport and education, we ask how far public ownership of these sectors would guard against the bleak conditions faced by their workers. This issue also features an eclectic culture section: The Full Monty at 25, Qatar’s attempt at ‘sportswashing’ its crimes through the World Cup, and vital primers on two ongoing revolutionary movements in Iran. Plus: book reviews, previews and all our regular columns.
