“Scholars have been arguing for a long time whether the Soviet Union could have been turned into some kind of social democracy. I doubt it myself. I think what Gorbachev didn't quite understand, until it was too late, is that his efforts at change unleashed new, certrifical forces he hadn't counted on. He opened the door a crack and a huge wind blew it open.” ThinkingKindLongHas BeensForceSocialEffortDemocracyDoubtDoorsWindHugeLateLong TimeUnionsArguingToo LateCracksSovietScholarSoviet UnionCould Have BeenUnleashedGorbachevSocial Democracy Author:David Hoffman

“I think that has to do with my awareness that in a sense we all have a certain measure of responsibility to those who have made it possible for us to take advantage of the opportunities. The door is opened only so far. If some of us can squeeze through the crack of that door, then we owe it to those who have made those demands that the door be opened to use the knowledge or the skills that we acquire not only for ourselves but in the service of the community as well. This is something that I guess I decided a long time ago.” IfsThinkingWellsLongMadeUseCertainOpportunityCommunityResponsibilityDoorsAwarenessSkillsDemandLong TimeAdvantageDecidedMade ItAcquireCracksLong Time Ago Author:Angela Davis
