"The oath of Mr Nawrocki to president will be a large victory, possibly not for the People's Poland, but for the People's Poland, a triumph for ignorance, shame and anti-intelligence ethos" – wrote reliable Tomasz Lis. I remember that language from the '90s erstwhile I had to learn the art of making stamps on postage stamps, as I corresponded a lot, and the money was bad. I'm from a working family, my family's industrial microregion in Czechowice-Hermits was just falling apart. From that time on, I kept my instinctive aversion to arrogant and antisocial liberals. However, this did not obscure another enemy – the conservative and utmost right. But what does that gotta do with the people?
From Bronowice to alt-left
The guests at the Bronowice wedding were fascinated by the people, but they were besides afraid of them. Polish Ludomania has a long tradition – “with Polish nobility Polish people”. Then there was a more modern version of Ludomania, including its "left" version, i.e. the alt-left version. And erstwhile alt-left finished, it was known from the beginning. due to the fact that they were like that, like Jacques Doriot in France. In the early 1920s, he rapidly had a career in the structures of the French Communist Party. In 1934 he was expelled from it, later founded the French People's Party. In his opinion, the communists betrayed the “people”. He mainly attacked liberals and masons. He was coming to the right more and more, hitting “plutacracy”. He ended up a Nazi collaborator, died in an SS uniform. It's a reason for declared ludomania and fighting the elite.
The right turned to populace with the alt-left combines that she discovered magical cognition of what the people are. They want to be like the people who have created themselves in their minds—and who, along with their power, effort to make (and power has the means). It's like the communicative of the German Volk in the Nazi tradition and the diatribes Hitler cast on degenerate Berlin, designed to obscure the support given to him by manufacture magnates.
If individual claims to know the people better due to the fact that he was at a wedding in Bronowice or just visited a tiny town, then the fact goes away. It is pure water of peoples – and it is forged with protectionism. Fashionable, due to the fact that frequently individual from the left, the 1 from the latte, in the sense of abrupt enlightenment will enter this climate. Meanwhile, this people are Janek, Zoska, Rysiek and Zenek, with whom you meet with beer or in the stairwell.
I utilized to argue with 1 of the “proluded” scientists about disco polo, as if the music of the people. I was reminded of a communicative from my wife's side, where in the 1990s children went to a rockotheque at a municipal cultural center, and then a beautiful, light-filled hall from disco polo was created. The people wanted to, or did the mob find a way to legalize dirty money?
However, the substance is much simpler and more complicated. The transformation of the planet of work and the dominance of mass culture lead to the disappearance of class references, more circumstantial than the present mythical people. The specified fact that people in a single production hall can work on different contracts – from a occupation to a contract to self-employment – makes it impossible to make lasting bonds of solidarity. There are further failures in the union movement and marginalization of left-wing links.
French sociologist Etienne Penissat observed: “This marginalization of the class issue opened the way to taking over her language through a reaction camp, from Donald Trump rod Marine Le Pen. However, the utmost right never accepted the rule of a classy view of reality, on the contrary, it regularly condemns it." However, utilizing this language, it can attack a wide front of enemies: immigrants, “soy lefts”, elites (to whom it belongs). Poland is no different in this respect from the remainder of the world.
Are kiboles people?
The Polish specificity is that in the circles of the right hand we can inactive see the salt of this land – kibola. Śląski writer Marcin Pietraszewski wrote a study on "the most brutal gang of kibboli", psychophanes of the Chorz movement. He does not focus on empathizing with images of violence, but tries to uncover its roots. So it resembles the climate of labour collapses settled in advanced Silesia in the 1990s, with an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. “My district... dies with mines, ironworks and factories. Our fathers have stopped being gods to us. We've seen that they're weak, helpless like children, they can't give us anything anymore. (...) In my territory you will not hear the words: hope, success and the future.”
Social atomization, due to the fact that in the end anyone can bargain from anyone. Families are falling apart. There was only 1 group where you could find yourself. People like you. Fans. surviving in a planet of force and responding violence. Scary “socialisation in a group”: setups with supporters of another teams, hunting people in the scarfs of another clubs, drug trafficking, and then sharing fun. But they grew up in a planet where, apart from the declared value – “the beloved club” – 1 thing was truly important: money. Individual success. erstwhile the kibbol bandits raided a warehouse somewhere in Pomerania, they made 2 bodyguards have sex. It's not a social approach. And erstwhile those who made money started to talk, hoping to reduce their punishment, the kibbol ants remained on the ice. Or in the swamp.
Make Your People
The folk classes are not inherently conservative and change all the time. It's usually work to make them at the right angle. Let us compare election mobilizations during the presidential run of Alexander Kwasniewski with campaigns of Andrzej Duda or Karol Nawrocki.
This Kwasniewski was based on the optics of “all Poles are 1 family”. The banal, like sons in kind "Ole! Olek". but it was a run during which Kwasniewski could dance with black, cool, without stigmatizing others, and yet it was based on tolerance.
The campaigns of the right were completely different. The optics of hard division and stigmatisation: these are immigrants, and this is LGBT – who just happens to fall under. It's the exact same model that Trump, Putin used, Bolsonaro, Brazilwhether Erdogan in Turkey. They are a circumstantial people who want to form their own right hand, just as their own people want to model Orban or Kaczyński.
This is even evidenced by the fact that complete nonsense about LGBT “ideology” as a “new Bolshevik” is propagated by people would seem rather intelligent. I utilized to think that specified cinder blocks were spreading cynics, according to which the “dark people would buy everything”, and they would be able to stay at the manger. But it turns out that many of them truly believe that. I don't know what's worse – cynics or crazy people? 1 thing is certain: they make a communicative to lay the foundation for this recently constructed people.
The current anti-system movements (I compose in quotes, due to the fact that they do not truly undermine the dominant strategy – they are only meant to guarantee the dominance of a certain group of oligarchs) go beyond rational divisions. All the more so, as they contain long-standing conspiracy visions on the right hand: anti-Jewish, anti-Masonian, and presently anti-vaccination visions, etc. Not for nothing is the majority of believers and practitioners of conspirators located in Europe as well as in Poland on the right – and the extreme. Goodbye, Enlightenment!
Another Way
A look back. Left and labour movement were erstwhile born in a completely different field. Fights for division of the wealth earned, for access to the public sphere. He was in this rationalism, though surrounded by romanticism and messianism. Workers entered the people, opened their eyes, and made themselves aware (with the slogan “knowledge this power”), helping to organize people. They equaled up, not down, like an alt-levice, bending down to their thought of the most backward folk layers.
Of course, times have changed. At least the look at the working class should be extended to include its marginalized parts, specified as women or immigrants. Much more popular than patriotic marches, however, were protests during the Women's Strike, especially those in the state – due to the fact that they returned to the field of rationality.
It may be comforting that in the second half of the 19th century, however, a movement called for "bread and freedom" was created on the basis of likewise tomised communities.
