The fact is that in the Waldorf school, the child of the proletarian sits next to the child of the entrepreneur. The children are educated in complete unity, and this is where equal rights for all are established in practice! While all the talk and agitating is going on, the “entrepreneurs” and “workers” do not have to be there, nothing will be achieved, but they must have equal rights. In short, the question cannot be solved with talk; the only way to solve it is to create goals and, above all, to envisage the real solution of the social question. By always interfering with inflammatory phrases when action is required, not a single step towards improvement can ever be taken! That is what matters today: to distinguish between action and talk. If we do not make this distinction between the talkers and those who want to do something, we will not get anywhere. The talkers will talk all social order to death. With fine talk, nothing can be achieved in our time, no matter how much this talk is based on equality. Equality must be established; mere talk of equality achieves nothing.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

Es handelt sich darum bei der Waldorfschule, daß in der Tat das Proletarierkind sitzt neben dem Unternehmerkind. Die Kinder werden in vollständiger Einheit erzogen, und da wird durch die Tat gleiches Recht für alle begründet! Während mit allem Geschwätz und allem agitatorischen Herumreden: es müssen nicht «Unternehmer» und «Arbeiter» da sein, man noch nichts erreichen wird, sondern sie müssen gleiches Recht haben. Kurz, mit Schwätzen läßt sich die Frage nicht lösen, einzig und allein dadurch, daß man Ziele schafft, und vor allen Dingen die wirkliche Lösung der sozialen Frage ins Auge faßt. Dadurch, daß man immer dann, wenn es sich um die Tat handelt, hineinschwätzt mit agitatorischen Phrasen, dadurch kann doch nicht ein einziger Schritt zur Besserung jemals gemacht werden! Das ist es, worauf es heute ankommt, zu unterscheiden zwischen Tat und Schwätzen. Wenn man diesen Unterschied nicht machen wird zwischen den Schwätzern und denjenigen, die etwas tun wollen, wird man nicht auf einen grünen Zweig kommen, sondern es werden die Schwätzer alle soziale Ordnung geradezu totreden. Mit schönem Geschwätz ist in unserer heutigen Zeit nichts zu erreichen, wenn dieses Geschwätz noch so sehr von Gleichberechtigung ausgeht. Gleichberechtigtheit muß begründet werden, von Gleichberechtigtheit bloß zu schwätzen, damit ist gar nichts erreicht.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":272,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/334/1920-03-18/p037"}],"english":["GA 334/1920-03-18/p037"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":272,"en_words":261,"ratio":0.96,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9598,"original_word_count":9332,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"From a Unitary State to the Tripartite Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA334/English/SOL2024/19200318s01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
