The divisions running through the history of the socialist movement
between reformists and revolutionaries, authoritarians and democrats,
putschists and gradualists-the divisions and disputes which have

hand down salvation to the grateful masses from above and those who
saw the key to the reform of existing society in the struggle from
below for self-emancipation. Behind the question: "What do we mean by
socialism?" lies a more important question. What do we mean by
democracy?
