	CER \| Solidarity Twenty Years After
		Solidarity’s disintegration gave rise to a vast array of parties and groupings with which we are all too familiar.
		Solidarity as we know it today, even if it leans toward Christian-Democratic and maybe nationalist ideals, is not as radical in this respect as certain parties allied with it under the AWS umbrella.
		Solidarity as one of the formative historical experiences that has led us today to see the centrality of civil society to democracy and its normative substance.

		The trade union bureaucracy is an essential component of developing state capitalist societies, The trade union leaders neither 'betray' nor 'sell out' when they manipulate working class struggles and seek to use them for their own ends.
		Because we reject Lenin' s concept that the working class can only develop a trade union (or reformist) consciousness IT FOLLOWS that we reject the leninist prescription that socialist consciousness has to be brought to the people from the outside, or injected into the movement by political specialists: the professional revolutionaries.
		This requires the coordinated activity of people or groups, individually capable of self-activity and of finding their own level of involvement and their own areas of work, The instruments of such coordination should be flexible and vary according to the purpose for which coordination is required.

		The DPP and its smaller ally, the Taiwan Solidarity Union (TSU), managed to win 101 of the total 225 seats up for grabs, while the opposition pan-blue alliance of the Kuomintang (KMT), People First Party (PFP) and New Party won 114.
		The non-partisan Solidarity Union, a group of independents registered as a party, won six seats, while non- affiliated independents won the remaining four.
		Since the majority of independents are likely to vote with the pan-blues (blue after the color of the KMT emblem), this means that President Chen Shui-bian is destined to spend most of the rest of his second term wrestling with the problems of minority government.

		In the United States in the 1960s, African-Americans used sit-ins, boycotts and marches to put unbearable pressure on the system of segregation, which dissolved – yielding more tolerance and racial peace, imperfect and inadequate as it is, than anyone would have predicted in 1950 or 1960.
		In Poland in the 1980s, workers used strikes and mass demonstrations to win the right to organize a free trade union, which galvanized the resistance of the Polish people to the one-party state that had denied them basic rights for two generations.
		As the world faces the responsibility to confront and dissolve political oppression by supporting nonviolent movements springing from people who want to be liberated, we will be forced to re-examine one other outmoded idea: the belief that the sovereignty of a nation is vested in its government.

		That year, the Democratic Progressive Party and social groups launched a campaign to reform the Legislature, not only by reducing the number of seats but also by replacing the multi-member district, one-vote electoral system with a single-member district and two-vote system.
		Under this scenario, smaller parties like the PFP, NPSU and DPP-ally the Taiwan Solidarity Union, are likely to be marginalized.
		Legislators from these parties are well aware that their lack of resources and poor party visibility and organization put them at a considerable disadvantage in single-seat elections.
