6. Thank you! A wonderful quote!

From that moment on, I was no longer a liberal, a believer in the self-correcting character of American democracy. I was a radical, believing that something fundamental was wrong in this country...

This is exactly why I do not call myself a "liberal".

I've gotten old, I haven't acted in any kind of big way to change the world, and now all I feel is despair at how far the rot has advanced in the world.

...an uprooting of the old order, the introduction of a new kind of society--cooperative, peaceful, egalitarian.

This will not happen in my lifetime.
