The first half covers Cutrone&#8217;s life. He explains how he went from a working class, Catholic Reagan-style conservative family to a Marxist, and his journey through education. One element in his journey of particular interest to us is his exposure to Catholic Worker-style Christians at an early age, and what impression that left on him. We get into his thoughts on what constitutes a good education, and whether or not education ought to differ depending on who is receiving it. The second half of the interview delves further into why leftists have a hard time dealing with the working class, whether it&#8217;s because of their (now) Trumpian conservatism or their religiosity, the future of capitalism, how the environment might fare in a turn toward socialism, and why and how socialists and religious believers might be able to cooperate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/platypus1917.org\/2021\/12\/01\/paths-to-marxism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;Paths to Marxism&#8221;<\/a> (2021) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spencer and Laurie interviewed the Platypus Society&#8217;s Chris Cutrone, &#8220;the last Marxist&#8221; and our favorite contemporary Marxist, on Wednesday, October 12, 2022.
