The search for truly democratic alternatives to the present, and a commitment to social experimentation with them, is a worthy and fulfilling human enterprise, one which moves us and, we hope, others today-Tom Hayden



Do you think it means that we must always search for democratic solutions to problems that we face, democratic alternatives inspires us in many ways.

Success depends not upon time, place, circumstances, democratic ways, communist ways, marxist ways, etc. It depends on the man who implements and executes it. Man should put sincere, honest and intense efforts. Result will come automatically. There can be many paths to the same destination. Some path may be long. Some may be short. Some may be rugged, Some path may be smooth. Some path may be hot and sweating. Some path may be cool and pleasant.

I think it just means we should keep all the possible avenues open for discussion, and not be restrained to a few, limited choices.



Creativity and innovation doesn't rest merely in the hands of those in power. That's a sure ticket to a static and decaying way of life.

Yes indeed. Tom Hayden is saying saying we should choose democracy over other alternatives.

Is Hayden a U.S. Representative? Because it sounds like he is saying that despite our constant mantras, what we currently have for a national government is already not a democracy. We have been a republic for far too long.
