Spencer Leonard was the editor of Sublation magazine at the time of this recording and is a founder of the Platypus Affiliated Society.   We discuss his upcoming edited and annotated edition of Marx and Engels on Bonapartism: Selected Journalism, 1851-59. We also talk about the problems posed by new left scholarship and political tactics, the seeming failure of the millennial left to respond, and the problems of Bonapartism and Imperialism from the 19th century to the 21st century.
