This text examines freedom as the central value and ultimate goal of socialism. The author argues that freedom should not be narrowed down to mere material security or political rights; rather, it fundamentally represents spiritual and cultural openness. The Soviet system is criticized as economically inferior, politically unacceptable, and culturally sterile, failing to provide a dynamic future for its citizens or allies. According to the document, the true measure of socialism, aligned with original Marxist traditions, is the degree of individual freedom. Any revolution that fails to rapidly broaden civil and political liberties is deemed a path toward totalitarianism or fascism. The author posits that socialism without spiritual freedom is a mere imitation and its direct opposite. The core objective of a socialist society must be the cultivation of humanity, the liberation of creative potential, and an existence guided by conscience. Restrictions on freedom are only permissible to ensure the freedom of others, especially not in the spiritual sphere.
