I found this archive of The Red Menace, a libertarian communist journal published in Toronto from '76 through '80. It's an interesting glimpse into the past, and, notably, featured an article by Ed Clark (aka, RevLeft's RedStar2000, RIP). The magazine covers a great spectrum (from fashion to Leninism . . . or maybe those two aren't so far off?), and though some of the analysis feels a little dated, there's some interesting insight in to things we ought not forget!

One particularly amusing note, decades before the internet, Ed still wrote in the quote-response-quote-reponse style of a messageboard flamewar ([URL]http://www.connexions.org/RedMenace/Docs/RM2-WhyLeninistsWillWin.htm).

Sounds like Ed's article rings as true today as it did then. Wish I could of been around the boards when he was cause it sounds like we would of had some similar ideas.
