[lbo-talk] Mitchel's interview with two Platypus organizers

[Bhaskar Sunkara]

Cryptic, maybe, but the links were described.  I did, however, make
a follow-up post for you with quoted text from the articles on Klein, but I
think it was over 25k and got hung up in moderation.  If you're curious
about the Platypus the best place to check would be the Platypus Review,
issue 17 in particular.  It outlines their whole "theory of regression"
shtick.  I'm in contact with many of their members and have a contribution
in a forthcoming issue (a coverage of Fitch's excellent "Solidarity for
Sale"), but I can hardly condense their body of thought into a
paragraph-long summation.  Needless to say, whatever limitations they do
have, I think they are among the more interesting currents to pop out of
whatever constitutes the American left in the last few years and are
motivated, young and growing.  A rare combination in this day and age.
