Kick it Over was a Canadian anarchist magazine that was published between 1982 and 2004.[1] It was published by the Toronto-based Kick it Over Collective.[1] It was founded by Don Alexander[2] and cost $7.50 for four issues.[3]
The magazine was described by the University of Victoria as a "highly sophisticated, organized political tool of resistance." Kick it Over commonly published anonymous contributions.[1] It was described by Robin Isaacs as “very anti-Marxist and anti-Leninist”. Isaacs was involved in the magazine until 1989.[4]
Issue 34 of the magazine, titled "Food and Land" focussed on border issues, radical agriculture, food production, and sustainability.[1] By 1983, the magazine had released six issues.[5] Volume titles included “Up From the Ashes” and “Sex and Peace”.[5] The "Sex and Peace" edition included commentary on how the members of the peace movement were harassed in the aftermath of the Litton Industries bombing.[5] The magazine was one of the first anarchist publications to report on the bombing.[3] Kick it Out published accounts from those accused of undertaking the attack, known as the Vancouver Five.[3]
In 1988, the magazine published an excerpt of an interview of Dave Foreman of Earth First! in which Foreman advocated against food aid to Ethiopia, during the 1983–1985 famine. The decision to share Foreman's views attracted positive and negative criticism, including in The Globe and Mail newspaper.[3] Notable people interviewed in the magazine include Lizzie Borden.[6] The interview of Borden included commentary that was critical of anti-pornography feminists.[6]
