Editorial: Lech Jęczmyk is dead (1936-2023). Although he was from another ideological formation, he was close to the thought of National Democracy. Friendly with the Polish thought environment, he attended meetings, wafers and meetings. We frequently published his texts. present we match this one:
First in an explanation mode. Patriotism is simply a attachment to a peculiar fragment of the globe, the homeland, the fatherland. To your country. Nationalism is simply a attachment to its Nation, to its history, mythology and culture, and above all to a shared religion. Patrick Buchanan, an American author of Irish origin, put it beautifully in the book “The Suicide of a superpower” published in Polish:
"The nation is simply a community that unites common history, language and culture, worship of the same God, respect for the same heroes, pride in its history, celebration of the same holidays, common heritage of music, art, literature that binds, as Lincoln said, "the bonds of affection...mystic strings of memory, all battlefield and all grave lost for the homeland, combining all beating heart and all household."
There are powerful forces in the planet present to destruct nations and national states, so that nothing happens in the way of creating a single global empire. The Empire of Alexander the Great, ancient Rome, the russian Union, Hitler's 1000 Year Reich is another incarnation of the Tower of Babel. Experience teaches that this cannot work, it is about how many victims will consume another effort to realize the illness of Utopia.
There is inactive chauvinism, striving to lift up their Nation by the hateful desire to harm other, usually neighboring nations. It's a distortion, the other of nationalism, due to the fact that the place of love for its own is to hatred strangers, so alternatively of the plus we have a minus. Let us note that this concept is no longer found in the publicist, any "teachers of the nation", we should say "delawers", gradually identify nationalism with chauvinism so that love for the nation becomes suspicious in order to replace love with hatred. This has profound consequences in politics, this is what happens erstwhile any politicians hatred another nation and send a message about the good of their own people. Unfortunately, we have politicians in Poland and publicists who are trying to compromise the welfare and safety of their homeland, in order to harm Russia. The paradox is that all these trade wars and press attacks do not harm Russia and harm Poland.
The other of a national state, a nation's body, is present "open society". This name must be alert due to the fact that it is associated with an open door, with an chance for thieves, with drafts. The slogan of openness and abolition of borders was invented by descendants of nomadic nations and in the interests of nomadic peoples. Farmers request meat. It is frequently referred to as "civil society", and that sounds better due to the fact that the word citizen is associated with a affirmative one, although formally speaking it is individual who only has the right paper (to be bought on the black market).
The slogan of the open society was Karl Popper, his disciple and apostle is George Soros, a hebrew from Hungary, an global currency speculator from London to Bangkok and ... what to call an individual who, without performing any authoritative function, shakes east Europe with money, distributed by many foundations with the Batory Foundation at the head.
Popper as a philosopher questioned the concept of truth. He claimed that all theories were provisional and there was no balance between verification and forgery. Soros puts it this way: “We must view our beliefs as provisionally actual and review them continually. This is the fundamental rule of open society. It is based on the designation that people have different views and interests and that no 1 is the holder of the eventual truth."
Such a society is in a permanent state of reconstruction, like a home where there is simply a constant renovation and a mess. A good example is the European Union, after a fewer years completely different from the 1 we have signed up for. According to the definition of an open society, the question on the platform is "where does this train go?" due to the fact that the timetable is constantly reviewed. The constant is just a makeshift.
In specified a society there is no place for 10 Commandments and no permanent rules. No wonder that the symbols of Moses ’ tablets, erstwhile present in all the courtrooms, were removed in the time - traveling United States. In the case of the States, like any another nation, the collapse of the religion that gave them origin means social disintegration, the end of moral community and cultural warfare.
Today everything is negotiable “as she erstwhile said Angela Merkel. The most fresh version of written law depends on the views of the current legislative team. Soros calls it, by analogy with Heisenberg's law, a "human rule of insignificance".
Neomarksism, neoconservativeism, and free-market fundamentalism appear from nineteenth-century science, adopting a deterministic view of the world, Soros considers. The time has come for an unknow-what, like surfing through a dangerous wave, and the rulers themselves called it management by chaos. All structures are broken down, chaos is unleashed, and the point is to usage it, to stay at the top of this unstable pile of rubble that the planet is turning into.
Rarely does the structure of the state completely disintegrate, usually within the sick organism the structures of the fresh organization begin to form. The nations show a kind of self-preservation instinct and erstwhile the state takes them, they produce replacement organs – Chinese triads, Italian mafias, beautiful Polish underground state. Worse with alleged civilian society, which is based solely on written law and solely on civil-state ties. In specified a case, after taking the state, society breaks down into a loose pile of individuals and is either conquered by the first, though a bit organized invader, or must build power structures from scratch. The invaluable Norwid knew this:
But I know that erstwhile you take your form off the nation,
It will fight forever
O those who in life have been given—
And I know that erstwhile the Emperor dies without children,
The full past of the empire is over.
This should be apparent to people who have witnessed the breakdown of transnational structures specified as Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia or the russian Union – the largest specified organization in planet history. due to the fact that the state is simply a structure and it can be torn apart, and the Nation is an organic structure like a forest, like an oak.
Poland came out of the shadows due to the fact that it stops apeging strangers and becomes itself again, regaining its identity. This is due to the fact that Poland has a dividing line between 2 forms of social organization: the conventional continuation of the national state, drawing strength from its past and religion, and the aggressively imposed form of open society or civilian society. The second is hard to even call a form, due to the fact that it is something of a formless being, something that naturally has no qualities, and its inhabitants are "people without properties." Meanwhile, as Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote: "The distinct national features are the treasure of humanity, it is the enrichment of its individual qualities: the smallest of the peoples brings in a gift its peculiar colours, the peculiar feature of God's intention."
At the Roman Dmowski National Foundation Gala (2018)
The circumstantial and fundamental feature of the Polish Nation is that its founding act is baptism. “We know that we have entered as a Nation into the world’s past through holy baptism. Thus the past of our Nation, rich and hard history, was born through baptism and our Polish Nation was born in baptism," said John Paul II to Poles in Kuritiba. Father Bartnik adds: “The nation is not a church, it does not identify with it, but the Church and the Nation penetrate each another to the depths, they are not completely understood without themselves.”
Yes, it's our Polish specialty. It was not initially understood by the abroad missionaries from the Brotherhood of St. Pius X, only young Polish priests brought this sense of inextricable bond between Polish and Catholicism. Nation, state and church. The nation can last without a state, as our dismemberment past proves. religion can last without a hierarchical church, as evidenced by the past of Catholicism in Japan, which survived on the rosary for 2 100 years of persecution.
One of the Ministers of the Government of the Civic Platform said that we no longer have states, that only “stone poop” remained. Maybe, but as long as we are the Nation and hold on to the religion of our fathers and grandparents, we live and from these stones we can rebuild the state. Christian State of the Polish Nation. That is why I am a patriot all day, and in the event of the collapse of the state, I inactive have a national idea.
