Freedom means?
"'Freedom means many things to many people. Do we mean by freedom, a freedom from - freedom from drudgery, from monotony, from the stupidity of manual work, freedom from the irrational authority of a boss or foreman, freedom from exploitation? Or, on the other hand, do we mean a freedom to - freedom to participate actively in the work process or freedom to enjoy work? Actually our concept of freedom today is essentially a negative one It is freedom from and not freedom to, because we are mostly concerned with what we are against and not what we are for - against whom we should defend ourselves rather than what we are living for.'" Erich Fromm
