Phạm Mai Trinh

Phạm Mai Trinh (born September 25, 1989) is a naturalised American citizen, currently serving as a United States Representative for the Northeast (State), and Party Leader of the Socialist Unity Party. She is notable for her Doctorate in Economics, and being a leading Marxist economist, having worked with a plethora of global organisations such as the International Communist League, the National Democratic Front of the Philippines, and others. 
Life of Phạm Mai Trinh
Trinh was born in Bình Định, Vietnam, on September 25th, 1989. From the offset, Trinh was born into relative poverty, made worse by the 1997 Asian financial crisis which had inflicted Vietnam, albeit to a lesser extent than the other countries in the region. Her family fled to America in 2000, fleeing as a result of a mixture of a lack of economic mobility, lack of confidence in the Vietnamese government, as well a deterioriating general quality of life specifically for her family. In 2008, at the age of 19, she would apply for loans after achieving US citizenship to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, receiving a Doctorate in Economics & a Masters in Philosophy from MIT during her time attending the University. Through the 2020s to 2030s, she worked as an economist attempting to revive interest in Classical Economics as opposed to Neoclassical schools of thought which emerged during the 20th century, and was in an unofficial academic war with the Austrian School as a result. During this time, she became more interested in Marxism and would purchase and read Marxist literature, coming to find the problems of Neoclassical economics and her questions as an economist answered by works such as Das Kapital, Grundrisse, Price Profit and Value, and Wage Labour and Capital- to name a few. Due to this transition into Marxist doctrine, Trinh would cooperate with many Socialist movements across the world, visiting Cuba as well as attending the first meeting of the International Communist League.
Meeting with the NDFP And Formation Of The Vanguard Party
In 2033, she met with prominent leaders of the NDFP, NPA, and PKP, such as Armando Liwanag. This drew attention from the international community, as the organizations were declared enemies of the Philippines government and NATO, but after much controversy she would not be charged. In 2045, she joined the Workers' Party, only to then participate in the split that culminated in the formation of the much more radical Marxist Vanguard Party. Today, she is apart of the Socialist Unity Party as First Secretary. She wrote the party constitution and participated in the first party congress which determined the party line.
