In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I’m joined by Chris Cutrone, a Marxist intellectual and founder of the Platypus Affiliated Society, to discuss his recent article making a case for “socialist unity”—not “left unity” but a socialist unity based on class unity, including working people with progressive and conservative views. 


In the Backroom, I get Chris Cutrone to elaborate on what he means by his claim that “the Left is dead—long live the Left” which begs the question:  When Did the Left Die?
