In our second episode about writing radical fiction, Siegfried stresses the importance of knowing the real history of class struggle and the real history of the liberation struggles of oppressed and colonized peoples. He also gets into his own history, how he began writing in the fantasy genre and how Fred Hampton, the Black Panthers, the Chicago Rainbow Coalition, Fidel Castro and Thomas Sankara continue to inspire him as examples of true heroism. Real heroes serve the people.
