Social Revolution journal
A complete online archive of Social Revolution- the paper of the Social Revolution group.
The first two issues were titled Workers Power for Social Revolution. Later issues would include the tagline "incorporating Libertarian Communism" as the decision had been made to cease production of the more theoretical journal of that name.
8 issues were published from 1975-1977.
After this the group merged with Solidarity and produced the new Solidarity for Social Revolution journal.
