Jeffrey C. Goldfarb :
"Adam Michnik famously formulated the opposition's central organizing imperative in the late 1970s: to act as if one lived in a free society. Michnik realized that if people acted as if they lived in a free society, they would, in the process, constitute free public space. He drew out the theoretical implications of what was developing in the private spaces of family and friends. This strategy spread from a relatively small circle of opposition intellectuals to the broad societal movement of Solidarity."
