Nuclear-Powered Vehicles of the Cold War

people know that the Navy has nuclear-powered submarines. But nuclear power plants for cars, airplanes, spacecraft, and other vehicles have all been dreamed up, and in some cases tested, mostly by cold-eyed psychopaths and crazy dreamers during the Cold War. First we get caught up on the state of our project cars.

Walter Reuther Part 3 with Turn Leftist

Part three of our deep dive into the life and work of Walter Reuther with the Turn Leftist podcast. Who was Walter Reuther and why might he be important to leftist car enthusiasts? Walter was a labor organizer who became the President of the United Auto Workers (UAW) as well as the Congress of Industrial Organisations (CIO). Walter had a broad vision for what the labor movement could achieve for working people and he was at the forefront of the labor struggle throughout most of the 20th century. Walter was a Socialist, although he was very much against communism. In this deep dive, we take an honest look at both the successes and failures of Walter's approach to improving the lives of working people. For additional context, refer back to our past episodes that touched on The Battle of the Overpass and our series on DRUM: The Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement. There will be several more episodes in this series (at least 2), so buckle up and join us along the road to revolution. Thanks to the Turn Leftist Podcast for collaborating with us on this episode.
