(SOAPBOX #72) - Cindy welcomes socialist, philosopher, political activist and retired professor Angela Davis. Since moving in the early 1990s from party communism to other forms of political commitment, she has identified herself as a democratic socialist. A famous revolutionary, she is the founder of a national grassroots organization committed to ending society's use of prisons and policing as an answer to social problems: Critical Resistance. Conspicuously an intellectual, she brings analytic substance to subjects she explores and discusses. Her statements on capitalism - versus socialism - versus communism are penetrating and highly enlightening. Listen to the Angela Davis interview this Sunday for a fascinating intellectual discussion about the "ISMs" of political economy. Also, she drops a bomb responding to the question "Is Obama a Socialist?"
