The Platypus Affiliated Society in Oregon

The Platypus Affiliated Society, established in December 2006, organizes reading groups, public fora, research and journalism focused on the 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. 

Platypus has chapters in Corvallis (at Oregon State University) since 2018 and in Portland (at Portland State University) since 2020.
