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.

This issue of Red Pepper explores resistance to the noxious poison of fascism, past, present and rising. We look at the continually evolving British far right, animated not just by xenophobic nationalism but also climate and Covid denial, and violent queerphobia. We also examine contemporary fascism and resistance efforts in Greece and dismantling the legacy of fascism in Spain.

Andrew Feinstein takes a look at the destruction of Gaza in a historical context, and we feature an essay by Lars T. Lih on Lenin’s legacy 100 years after his death.

The issue also includes a focus on the NHS, cataloguing its ongoing dismantlement by both main parties and platforms the workers who will be fighting for its future.

Our culture section explores cultures of liberation from memory archives of Chile and Argentina to the cinema of new Palestinian directors and Ken Loach’s 60-year career, with an exclusive interview.
