News / Poland has accepted over a million Ukrainian refugees. Why does the EU keep telling propaganda about Poland? [304]
I read somewhere that in the early days, there were some people who were committed communists because they genuinely believed that it offered an alternative and better future for Poland - the previous system had failed, so Communism was seen as a possible solution to the militarisation of society. Some were also pretty angry at the previous government's way of doing things in rural areas, where you had rich absent landlords that controlled large swathes of land just because they were someone in the army.
An interesting what-if question - what if the Soviets had allowed (from 1945 onwards) a specifically Polish form of Communism that took into account the needs of Polish society, such as land redistribution and freedom of religion? Would it have been broadly accepted?
but very very few joined because they actually believed in the communist system.
