Platypus Affiliated Society
The Platypus Affiliated Society, established in December 2006, organizes reading groups, public fora, research, and journalism focused on problems and tasks inherited from the "Old" Left (1920s-30s), "New" Left (1960s-70s), and “post-political” Left (1980s-90s) for the possibilities of emancipatory politics today.
