ABSTRACT
In an industrial society the only meaningful units of local government are enterprise and plant community. Free society is threatened by the lack of responsible participation of the citizens in their own government. The political and social, that is, the managerial function, can be based only on the objective function which the enterprise discharges as the economic organ of society. The slogan of "bigness" also implies that the big enterprises enjoy such preponderant competitive advantage as to be immune to economic changes and invulnerable. As soon as Democratic Socialism is established, the labor unions are in crisis. They are suddenly in the management. The motives behind Democratic Socialism in Europe and in the formerly colonial world are not understood in this country. More important than the economic motives behind the drive for Democratic Socialism are the social and political motives.
