Philly Socialists is a young, vibrant, and rapidly growing non-sectarian socialist organization and is also at the heart of the emerging nationwide network of similar groups known as the Marxist Center. In this episode, we talk with founder Tim Horras about the formation of the group, possible reasons for its success, lessons many of us outside of Philly can take to heart, the state of the left, the need for a socialist party - and much more.

It gets better - before the interview, you'll be treated to a ROUSING roundtable discussion on the present state of the left and the task before us, featuring returning hosts Chloe Wojewoda, Zoe Wroten-Heinzmann, Chris DiLoreto, and Reid Kotlas.
