Abstract: Abstract Self-management is born out of crisis and resistance: economic, political, military or social crises; and resistance against crises, oppression by authoritarian organizations and by political forces from within or without, and economic disasters. Self-management emerges at times which require intensive mobilization of human resources. And this is what self-management ultimately amounts to: a drastic attempt at activating human work potential and creativity to the fullest. Self-management typically emerges when the survival of a society or of a subset of society is threatened or when its well-being is seriously endangered. Ideally, self-management is a system in which all participants contribute their full potential cooperatively to a common cause and accordingly have the same rights and privileges. In short, it is total and direct democracy, the conclusion of the domination of man by man.
