...breach with the party, but rather unity on the basis of the programs for which they and the party had struggled for so long. The sailors' echo of Lenin's slogan, "All power to the Soviets" represented a threat to the Bolshevik government under siege, but in the insurgents view the party itself, under less adverse conditions, would have stood for no less...
...SENSE, this reasoning may be inadequate when applied to the Kronstadt revolt itself: the war was over, the people were clamoring for an end of centralism, and the demands of the mutineers were certainly justified. But from another point of view, the conditions of war still existed: resources were scarce and needed to be carefully handled, and that meant there had to be a national as well as a local reckoning.

...choice rules out, of course, all possibilities of argument. It is either or. Either the revolutionary has nothing to say to the oppressor or he is already assimilated. syncretized, digested as an alien but allowed point of view, to be heard but not listened to.

The actual material not reflected in inflated money concerns them only peripherally, as a limiting factor. The simple device of "holding the line" on wages can augment rates of return on currency (in this case the dollar) and abort speculative runs against the endangered currency. In other words, the only...
...Administration policymakers view the prospect as victory-at last -for their economic game plan. If the general forecast is right, they will achieve their aims of curbing inflation and avoiding a full-scale recession, though the slowing down in prices will take much longer and the rise in unemployment will be higher than they had reckoned. The victory is also likely to be less than total. The Administration's goal once was to force price increases down to 2% a year; now some officials seem ready to settle...
