Subversion was a libertarian and council communist group that published the journal Subversion and a variety of pamphlets throughout the late eighties and much of the nineties. Never very large, it had its origins in the earlier Wildcat group, and further back in the groups Solidarity and Social Revolution. The Subversion committee itself explains about this rare magazine in 2010 "Ten years ago a group of us got together to form Subversion. Some had been in (and out of) Wildcat, others had been politically working together with those comrades for a number of years previously. We wanted to create a new organisation that could carry on the work of developing communist ideas and politics free from the need to label ourselves as either dogmatically marxist or anarchist. Recently though, despite continuing to agree on our basic revolutionary politics, we have had disagreements about the way forward both organisationally and practically. There have also been some personal disagreements. These have made it hard for some of us to work together. As a result there are now only five of us left in the group and we have had to conclude that we no longer have the energy or enthusiasm to continue our activities as a collective. There will be no further issues of our bulletin, though back issues and other publications are still available for the cost of postage for the time being. The Box number will be kept open for the next six months. The web site will continue indefinitely, but as the personal responsibility of the comrade who set it up. We have produced 24 editions of the Subversion magazine, 23 of which have been distributed for free. The print run since issue 10 has been 1000 and most have been successfully distributed many by people who write to us for bundles. We have produced eight pamphlets, four of which are still available. We have produced numerous leaflets" Rare and inportant magazine missing to all bibliographies. CodZ.
