We interview Pham Binh, a fellow former ISO member whose political development was both shaped by his participation in the organization and his opposition to it.  After Binh left the ISO, he took on some positions within socialism that outraged many fellow socialists.  Even to the point of having to ‘lay low’.  Well, today he returns with us to talk about his political history and trajectory.  We hope this is the beginning of many fruitful discussions on socialism and revolution with Binh.
