Spiked (also written as sp!ked) is a British Internet magazine created by Mick Hume, who had previously been one of the leaders of the Revolutionary Communist Party from 1977 until its demise in 1996. RCP was distinguished by its contrarianism; among its positions were support for IRA and Saddam Hussein. Spiked focuses on politics, culture and society. The magazine was founded in 2001 with the same editor and many of the same contributors as Living Marxism, which had closed in 2000 after losing a case for libel brought by ITN. Spiked and the Institute of Ideas are both based in the former militant Trotskyite Revolutionary Communist Party offices but now promote right wing libertarianism. There is general agreement that Spiked is libertarian, with the majority of specialist academic sources identifying it as right-libertarian, and some non-specialist sources identifying it as left-libertarian. Activists associated with Spiked, sometimes described as part of "the Spiked network", took part in the Brexit Party as candidates or publicists, while disagreeing with Nigel Farage on many domestic issues.
