Political science major Sean B.F. Outlier stood outside the UAA Consortium Library on Oct. 23 to speak to the UAA community about communism in Alaska.

Outlier, who said he considers himself the representative of communists in Alaska, held a sign that read, “Communism is the future. Prove me wrong.”

“I had some good conversations,” said Outlier. “I usually was talking to one person at a time, but I had a crowd of four to five people at one point.”

When asked if he was representing an organization, Outlier said, “No, in this point of time, I am representing myself as an individual advocating for communism in Alaska.”

“It is only through the leadership of a communist party that Alaska can achieve a society with no rent, no landlords and no taxes,” he said.

Outlier said he will continue to appear at the library at 12 p.m. on Thursdays to advocate for communism for Alaska.
