Live Wild or Die!, the most radical of the publications to derive from—even reject—the Earth First! movement, was published in various locations along the west coast of the United States starting in February 1988.

Live Wild or Die! no. 8 includes discussions on the collapse of industrial society, essays by John Zerzan and Ted Kaczynski, as well as reports on ELF actions and unclaimed actions against GMOs. Notably, it opens with a strong call for a more radical Earth First!, writing “Earth First!ers: One more step and you would be revolutionaries!” The cover quote underlines this call: 

All revolutions have failed? Perhaps. But rebellion for good cause is self justifying - a good cause in itself. Rebellion transforms slaves into human being, if only for an hour.
