Sažetak

The author's intention is not to evaluate merits and demerits of Solidarity movement in Poland, for as he believes it is to the participants themselves to do this; rather, the author attempts at formulating certain historical lessons on the basis of these experiences with regard to modern social movements and their strategies. In summarizing these historical lessons, the author makes the following points: 1. a demystification of the illusion on possible reforms from above while reconstructing the »really existing socialism« from within, by opposing a new strategy of an »alternative society«, or »society's self-organization «; 2. a demolition of the myth on one class hegemony (dictatorship of proletariat) as a possible road to emancipation, counterposing a request for the formation of a mass social movement as a »historical subject« of society’s reconstruction; 3. an elitist concept of the workers'movement is contested and a massive organization of emancipated subjects created instead; 4. the one-sided concept of political revolution is given up and replaced by a broader concept of social and cultural revolution, i. e. the focus is shifted from changing primarily the power structure, to the deep changes of the entire way of life and communications; 5. the changing tactics, which results from a new strategy called »new evolutionism«, orients the movement to the legal action based on democratic communications as against violence and militarization of the movement. Viewed from this perspective, Polish social movement opened new horizon for social renaissance transcending the boundaries of both bourgeois reformism, and revolutionary movements so far oriented to merely political revolutions.
