In 1988 , the party made '' The Next Step '' into a bulletin for its supporters . Later that year , a monthly magazine called '' Living Marxism '' was set up for a wider readership . Despite its beginnings as a far-left outlet , the politics espoused by the magazine developed a pronounced libertarianism . In December 1990 , '' Living Marxism '' ran an article which argued that the corrosive effect of the collapse of both Stalinism and reformism on the working class meant that " for the time being at least , the working class has no political existence " . In 1997 , the point was put more forcefully : In today 's circumstances class politics can not be reinvented , rebuilt , reinvigorated or rescued . Why ? Because any dynamic political outlook needs to exist in an interaction with existing individual consciousness . And contemporary forms of consciousness in our atomised societies can not be used as the foundation for a more developed politics of solidarity . Between 1990 and 1997 , the party developed the view that more than capitalism itself the danger facing humanity was the absence of a force for social change ( in philosophical language , a " subject " of history ) and the culture of low expectations that suppressed it . Prefacing a 1996 '' Living Marxism '' manifesto , Mick Hume argued : Of course ... we could have produced a familiar list of left-wing slogans complaining about problems like unemployment , exploitation and poverty which continue to scar our society . But that would be to ignore the transformation which has taken place in the political climate ... . At different times , different issues matter most . Each era has thrown up its own great questions which define which side you are on ... . A t '' Living Marxism '' , we see our job today as doing much more than criticising capitalism . That is the easy bit . There is a more pressing need to criticise the fatalistic critics , to counter the doom-mongers and put a positive case for human action in pursuit of social liberation . ... D ealing with ... unconventional questions , and puncturing the anti-human prejudices which surround them , is the precondition for making political action possible in our time . In February 1997 , shortly after the party disbanded , '' Living Marxism '' re-branded as '' LM '' , possibly to further distance itself from its leftist origins . Articles in '' LM '' argued : This magazine ran at least two articles in which the authors argued that the mass murder carried out in Rwanda in 1994 should not be described as genocide . In December 1995 , '' LM '' carried a report from an aid worker in Rwanda which argued : The lesson I would draw from my visit is that we must reject the term ' genocide ' in Rwanda . It has been used inside and outside Rwanda to criminalise the majority of ordinary Rwandan people , to justify outside interference in the country 's affairs , and to lend legitimacy to a minority military government imposed on Rwanda by Western powers . '' LM '' continued to create controversy on a variety of issues , most notably on the British Independent Television News ( ITN ) coverage of the Balkan conflict in the 1990s . The controversy centred on '' LM '' featuring an article by Thomas Deichmann in which he alleged that the ITN coverage of a refugee detention centre in Trnopolje during the conflict gave the false impression that the Bosnian Muslims were being held against their will in Serbian concentration camps . The ensuing libel award and costs arising from legal action by the ITN against '' LM '' were estimated to total around £ 1 million . The action bankrupted the magazine and its publishers
