History / Significance of May 3rd in Poland [21]


Szlachta golota (without land) lost election rights and they consisted quite large part of 10% that you mentioned before.


The largest paragraph is about king, does the US had king? :) Simply read it, this is short document. There were some common ideas in both documents but this was not exact copy for sure. Both constitutions were short and everybody with half of the brain could read and understand everything. (This is not the case in the EU)

Also don't confuse extension of personal freedoms with extension of democracy. In this case democracy was reduced and personal freedom extended.


Some were, some were not, read about "szlachta golota".

If so, they can pay compensation to Polish citizens robbed by Soviet policy.


They are not shifting blame for Russia. They simply never raise the question of UPA crimes and often raise the question of Soviet crimes. Also this is not exactly the government fully responsible but some influential media outlets.

Those people that I mentioned are former Trotskytes turned to euro-socialism. Although these days their political representation is marginal (PD party) but they still control large part of media outlets (Agora media group). While every party that wants to achieve something in democracy must try to live in peace with greater part of journalists. Thus Polish governments are often pushed by those people toward such policy. They will never stop to attack Russia till your country wont become euro-socialist. There is no nationalism behind their motivation at all.

The SU won the war against which country?

Thus amount of people having influence on state policy shrank. Constitution was not only not democratic but went in opposite direction, however it was too late to save the country...


I cannot find any arguments which would justify supposed "backwardness". However it was degenerated indeed, liberum veto practically blocked possibility of necessary reforms. While foreign agents could easily bribe just one MP to block some initiatives which could make the commonwealth stronger.

Actually this constitution moved away from so called "nobles democracy" to monarchy!

History / Poland-Russia: never-ending story? [1341]


OK, I understand your point. Just in this one case I would like to point out that there is no such reasonable "mechanism". If you want reduce corruption you must reduce state interventionism and what follow bureaucracy. Other way does not exist and as you can imagine politicians are not willing to reduce its own competences.

History / 1 Maja - Pochód, Labour Day in Old Poland [28]

Still spreading this nonsense in XXI century? How many times socialism must collapse and cause miseries?


Socialists are known from causing divisions and antipathy among society. There is no unity of working man, the is no unity of "evil capitalists", this is false and treacherous demagogy which provoke only social tensions.

So there is no common stance and those who openly admit to be leftist are not keen at all to touch this topic.

Russia should pay, also to its own citizens.

It simply depend whether one value more for example 30 years of smoking than a bit longer life. This is question personal preference.

This is too much to say that the communist started this process. However they kept high level of education in many areas. This just sad that high level of math could coexist with retarded communist vision of economics.


I think that this is rather politicians try to appease to the people in this area. They don't care about public pressure if this would cost them much of effort.

Life / Looking for a Polish hiphop artist... [19]

Polish hip-hop brrrrrrrrr!

Does Polish culture really deserve to have such "artists"?

History / 1 Maja - Pochód, Labour Day in Old Poland [28]

The Left organizing some parades but nearly nobody attend. Generally very few people celebrate this occasion, for majority this is simply a free day. It would be good if this free day would be replaced for some other holiday.

History / Poland-Russia: never-ending story? [1341]


This is true but still Russia is the political heir of the SU. Similarly current Polish state is the political heir of People's Republic of Poland and must pay debts from this period.

In Poland influential groups enforce policy I would call "Forgive the Germans, don't mention about Ukrainians and attack Russian government". This is linked with future shape of Europe that those people would wish to see. While Russian government additionally causing many reasons to give them opportunity to such attacks and using skillfully such situation in domestic policy in Russia.


May I ask what you would want to see instead of the current regime?

I would not be surprised at all if someday they would establish such laws. Anti-discrimination laws are on rise in Europe and this is dangerous tendency.

Interesting example of protection of "Europeans" is economic protectionism. Officially it is not against anybody but to help our own people. In this case minorities are not targeted but people in other countries obviously are. European Community use this even inside its own borders. For example Poland cannot export more milk than bureaucrats from Brussels allow, job market of many member states is still denied to Polish citizens, Polish peasants receive smaller donation than those from the west.

Like blacks can have easier access to American universities, replace "blacks" with any other group, poor people, women, homosexuals, peasants, British etc.

You are racist because you think that Poland need more people of non-white races only because they are non-white. You look at the world from the racial perspective.

I disagree, the worst discrimination is often pushed under so called "anti-discrimination laws".

Actually during medieval period plenty of Jews settled in Polish kingdom. Not without reason I suppose.

This is not a secret that during communist period the level of education in Polish schools was higher. All in all we are going down and soon we will reach the EU level (fact which for sure would make happy the champions of EUropeiness in this country).

News / Wojtek Cejrowski gives up his Polish citizenship! [19]


I don't exclude such possibility in the future. The big difference between myself on Cejrowski is that he already overcame cultural differences, speak Spanish fluently and have enough of cash to start some serious business over there.

I don't claim to be a specialist from Ecuadorian affairs, however I think that this country is on other stage of development. But this might be true that they offer way better conditions than socialist Europe for people with initiative to start some business.


I suppose that you simply know very little, if not then go to proper threads in political section and try to overthrow arguments that I raised. I'm always open for a serious discussion on these matters which contain certain problems rather than empty slogans.

Cejrowski is OK and we need more people like him. This is sad how unattractive Poland (and Europe) is for people who has some clue.

Btw, Cejrowski a fascist?? If you had any idea about political systems then you would know that Cejrowski views classify him somewhere close to opposite pole to fascism!

History / Leon Pasternak imprisoned in the 1930's because of political activities [5]


Indeed served during Stalinist era. He lived in the USSR, he must knew about Soviet crimes, they occupied Russia long enough.


He was a Soviet agent, what was proved later.

Bureaucracy must be drastically reduced, the EU should be back just to the common market idea from the beginning, Schengen zone should be expanded to whole Europe. Countries and Poland in particular should go towards regionalism and not all-European centralization as I stated earlier in this thread. I could recommend few books if you would be really interested.
