Socialist author Irving Howe passed away with " A Margin of Hope "

As a democratic socialist myself I do respect this wise " old radical " Irving Howe. Much of what he said in this interview is relevant to the Bernie Sanders "political revolution " , the focus on unacceptable economic inequality in the presidential campaign of 2016. But since the time of this interview what did pass for real " democracy in America " has sadly decayed . The country is evolving under the leadership of these neo-Democrats like Hillary Clinton into a militarized police state. Was the leadership of SDS in the late 60s more perceptive about this than Howe ? I commend Irving Howe for never betraying the ideal of democratic socialism- and setting an example for civilized, literate dissent. Still " A Margin of Hope " ( his political autobiography ) for socialism in the new century.
