We seek to be a space for debate on the left, a resource for movements for social justice, and a home for open-minded anti-capitalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Red Pepper<\/em> is entirely independent and, while not rejecting party politics, seeks to help build the kind of pluralistic, dynamic movements which can fundamentally challenge our economic system, with its entrenched injustice, structures of power and oppression, and tendency towards war and environmental destruction. Although based in London, we have links around Britain and have always covered events and perspectives from outside the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re a non-profit magazine, and we operate on a shoestring.
