Scientific Theory Is A Contrived Foothold In

We Shall No Longer Hang On To The Tails Of Public Opinion Or To A Non- Existent Authority On Matters Utterly Unknown And Strange. We Shall Gradually Become Experts Ourselves In The Mastery Of The Knowledge Of The Future.

How, Then,' I Hear You Ask, 'shall I Attain My End, Whether It Be Christian Love, Socialism, Or American Democracy?' Your Christian Love And Your Socialism And Your American Democracy Are What You Do Each Day, Your Manner Of Thinking Each Hour, Of Embracing Your Life Companion And Loving Your Child; They Are Your Attitude Of Social Responsibility Towards Your Work, And Your Determination Not To Become Like The Crushers Of Life You So Hate.

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.

The Cry For Freedom Is A Sign Of Suppression. It Will Not Cease To Ring As Long As Man Feels Himself Captive. As Diverse As The Cries For Freedom May Be, Basically They All Express One And The Same Thing: The Intolerability Of The Rigidity Of The Organism And Of The Machine-like Institutions Which Create A Sharp Conflict With The Natural Feelings For Life. Not Until There Is A Social Order In Which All Cries For Freedom Subside Will Man Have Overcome His Biological And Social Crippling, Will He Have Attained Genuine Freedom.

Revolutionary Practice In Any Field Of Human Existence Develops By Itself If One Comprehends The Contradictions In Every New Process; It Consists In Siding With Those Forces Which Act In The Direction Of Progressive Development.
