Pam, Andreas, Bekah, and Itsï from our editorial team discuss the state of the Left, how Platypus proceeds in such an atmosphere, and the opportunities for education in the present.

This is a prelude to Lisa's conversation about a Reading Group on Chris Cutrone's book, The Death of the Millennial Left, organized by members Elli (Leipzig) and Nezam (Munich). They are joined by our contact Anna, as well as our Philly member Ethan K, who reflects on his teach-in on the Millennial Left back from 2022. They discuss their personal experiences and the relation of the Zoomers to the Millennial generation.
