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

[Bhaskar Sunkara]

http://platypus1917.org/category/pr/issue17-pr/ I would start right here
(issue 17) with the introduction.  A few of their contributors need to read
Orwell's *Politics and the English Language* over again, but it the gist is
there.  In class right now so I can't write out a summation, but the pieces
aren't very, very long.  I'm pretty sure Postone isn't actively involved
with the project, but yes, former students of his were the impetus behind
the initial Chicago reading group.
