This episode's conversation is with Jacqueline (Jackie) Luqman, who is the co-host of 'By Any Means Necessary' on 105.5 FM in Washington D.C. Our discussion covers a wide range of topics including the current state of the democratic party, in particular its so-called progressives, U.S. imperialism and its far too often ignored yet devastating effects around the world (particularly on the African continent and in Cuba), as well as the preconceived notions about Marxism and Socialism. Jackie Luqman provides insight and analysis from a Pan Africanist, radical and working class perspective.
