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

[Bhaskar Sunkara]

A group that sprung out of Chicago several years ago during the anti-war
movement beginning as a reading group that set about to interrogate what is
meant by the "Left" and how the dead-end that the "Left" has become could be
overcome.  Became a more bona-fide "organization" with a few conferences and
a monthly journal and expanded with new reading groups in Boston, Toronto
and New York over the last couple of years.
