Heatwave Magazine — Issue 1, Summer ‘25

(Proceed of our first 50 copies sold will donate to Gaza family fundriaser)

"The name "Heatwave" echoes that of an old Situationist magazine ("Britain's most incandescent journal" of 1966), but with added urgency in an era where every summer is the hottest on record. While the statistical certainty of catastrophe is inescapable, "revolt" names many species of conflagration, including that peculiar variety we call communism. We must sift through the ashes to find it."

About Heatwave

Heatwave is a multi-media project dedicated to sharing experiences and strategizing together in preparation for the next round of struggles to break free from the infernal prison of capital. As the world burns and the political horizon grows increasingly grim, we seek to connect comrades around the globe and contribute to building a mass movement powerful enough to incinerate that prison. In its ashes, we will build a world based on the classic principle from each according to their ability, to each according to their need — a life worth living on a thriving planet.

While there is no shortage of left media, most English-language publications offer only partial critiques and tepid reformism, or regurgitate debates among 20th-century sects whose material foundations disappeared decades ago. We seek to provide more rigor and depth than the average radical blog or podcast, but to avoid the turgid style of traditional communist polemics and academic journals. Politically, we aim to balance inclusivity with coherence: We'll publish pieces by a broad spectrum of contributors from around the world, attaching editorial prefaces to provide our own perspective. For more on our vision for this project, see The Case for Letting the World Burn: Pre-print Editorial to Issue 1.

Our name “Heatwave” echoes that of an old Situationist magazine (“Britain’s most incandescent journal" of 1966), but with added urgency in an era where every summer is the hottest on record.
