Roland Lew, Social Emancipation : What is Said, and What is Done Any consideration of the problem of social emancipation must focus upon how a goal of autoemancipation was attempted by the organization of those to be emancipated. The big question posed by the nineteenth century for the twentieth century is whether the will and the organization for the emancipation of the socially oppressed expresses a perception of depossession or of nonpossession. The Bolchevik model, which dominated throughout the century, placed the emphasis upon a substitutionist logic which, in fact, prolonged the tendencies already developed in the nineteenth century.
