“Only a work democracy can create the foundation of genuine freedom. Long experience in sociological disputes leads me to expect that a great many people will take offense at the disclosure of this miscalculation. It makes the highest demands on people's will to veracity; it puts a heavy burden on everyday living; it places all social responsibility on those who work, be it in the factory, in the office, on the farm, in the laboratory, or wherever.” PeopleLongSocialResponsibilityDemocracyDemandOfficeHighestFoundationEverydayBurdenHeavyGenuineGreat MenFarmsFactoriesOffenseSocial ResponsibilityDisputesLaboratoryLeading MeDisclosureSociologicalVeracityHeavy BurdensMiscalculationsEveryday Living Author:Wilhelm Reich

“Sometimes the difference between two candidates is an important one in the immediate sense, and then I believe trying to get somebody into office, who is a little better, who is less dangerous, is understandable. But never forgetting that no matter who gets into office, the crucial question is not who is in office, but what kind of social movement do you have. Because if you have a powerful social movement, it doesn't matter who is in office.” IfsTryingBelieveKindLittlesTwoImportantSometimesMatterI BelieveSocialDifferencesForgetPowerfulDangerousMovementOfficeCandidatesNever ForgetCrucialSocial Movements Author:Howard Zinn
