S1 Episode 2: Techno-Communism

Intergalactic Relations by Dr. Faiz Sheikh

Episode notes

This episode we encounter an existential threat to the liberal individualism of our protagonists: The Borg. What makes them so terrifying? Communist-style collectivism, or the loss of individuality brought on by neoliberalism?

Join us for a discussion of International Relations, Star Trek, and the politics of the Cold War on the TV screen.

Hosts:

Dr. Faiz Sheikh
