Originally founded as the theoretical journal of the Communist Party of Great Britain, Marxism Today underwent a transformation in the 1980s, becoming a glossy left magazine with significant influence on the British Left. Drawing inspiration from Raymond Williams' cultural materialism, H.F. Pimlott delves into the intricate relationship between political practice and cultural form, examining the successes and failures of Marxism Today. This analysis explores the magazine's political and cultural critiques of Thatcherism and the Left, particularly those penned by Stuart Hall and Eric Hobsbawm. It also highlights the innovative publicity and marketplace distribution strategies employed by Marxism Today, its relationships with the national UK press, its cultural coverage, design and format, and its writing style. In a political climate where a resurgent left seeks to assert its voice, Wars of Position offers valuable insights for contemporary media activists and challenges the marginalization of the left press in media scholarship.
