What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]
But how much of the violence was begun by protesters?
What is the importance of it at all?
You just obliterated the study of history.
History is a fascinating science and magistra vitae. However, the difference between us is that you can only rely on History to know sth about communist Poland while I have both History and my personal experiences at the disposal. It is me who remember the atmosphere of that time, the annoynance of ordinary people whose emotions would soon explode into fury if sth wasn`t done to reform the system. You know nothing about it.
Do you mean what I know??? hahahaha
Solidarity was a non-violent movement.
Go back to history books and check there were a few Solidarities. hahahaha One of them was Fighting Solidarity. And other fiercely anticommunist groups.
because they knew the fragile Polish economy could not sustain more strikes and lack of production
Wrong! You seem to express your respect for their "patriotic feelings" about Poland and its future. Please, stop coz it is ridiculous. Communists didn`t care about anything except power - the economy could collapse totally as long as they still ruled the country. Again, go back to history books and find what Jerzy Urban said during one of his conferences about the government after the US imposed sanctions. . Sth that pissed people off to the maximum.
that the unified voice of the Polish people was an undeniable sign that the political legitimacy of the regime was severely compromised.
hahaha funny. So, you claim they were decent rulers who cared about the opinions of common people. hahahaha
but it wasn't violent protests that drove them to negotiations.
Who said they were?
