The Platypus Affiliated Society organizes reading groups, public fora, research, and journalism focused on problems and tasks inherited from the "Old" (1920s-30s), "New" (1960s-70s), and post-political (1980s-90s) Left, for the possibilities of emancipatory politics today.

Very interesting conversation.
Just a small comment: I thought the self critical nature of the participants got them closer to a shared vocabulary, and it sounded like they all knew what each other was talking about practically and theoretically.
