The Best of LiP: Informed Revolt, 1996–2007
"Funny,
refreshing, intelligent, and outrageous!"
—Howard Zinn
"In an
era when most political magazines in the U.S. ranged from the tepid
to the tedious there was LiP, fearlessly delving into the
essential topics of our times and mapping the way to a revolution
you'd actually want to join."
—Patrick Reinsborough, co-founder

ORDER
For
over a decade,
in print and online, LiP: Informed Revolt
concocted a deeply imaginative, iconoclastic mix of politics, culture,
sex, and humor that took clear, sometimes uproarious aim at mass
mediocracy and capitalist miserabilism. All volunteer, never for
profit, and always criminally underdistributed,
LiP's diverse crew of co-conspirators devoted ourselves
to imagining and articulating a vernacular radicalism unencumbered
by the political deadwood of the day.
Collected herein
are the finest fruits of our award-winning efforts: the very sharpest
salvos from the oddly dangersome, overwhelmingly larcenous, vaguely
apocalyptic, constructively negative, relentlessly persuasive, curiously
unflinching, and often grossly unexpected pages of the best magazine
you probably never heard of.
