    Will Nguyen: The Star Trek Communist

    Will Nguyen: The Star Trek Communist

    Will Nguyen is a member and advocate of Socialist Revolution, the US wing of the International Marxist Tendency (IMT), which aims to educate the world about socialism. With enough recruits, they hope to bring down the current capitalist world order in favor of a humanist, worker-controlled system that will uplift all people around the world. It's bold, but I believe you'll see why this mission is worth your while once you listen to Will.

    Will is also known online as The Star Trek Communist, and often uses the in-universe politics to explain how to improve our world, which I find deeply relatable as a Trekkie political junkie myself.

Another voice rising above the static!

The host has done a fantastic job with this podcast! Not only is the host well spoken, but is able to convey his message in a way that takes away the divisive static over being a radical progressive, and makes it relatable for folks on every side of the spectrum.
