Can a individual with leftist views boast?

Can a individual with leftist views boast about his accomplishments? Finally, a immense part of our audience is the millenniums, whose increasing up in the reality of late capitalism taught distrust of the languages of neoliberal succession. What is behind the roman and smiling face of middle-level manager? Death. Besides, what is the importance of your success erstwhile the planet is on fire?

To say “the year 2023 was difficult” is to say nothing. We live in a planet with increasing and mostly irreversible conflicts. On a planet where drinking water will decrease by 40% in the coming years. The celebrated “one percent richest” who has concentrated wealth greater than the remainder of mankind is long ago not a percent but a promil. There are more and more voices that we are moving towards a global conflict.

Maybe there's nothing to be happy about.

We believe it is. In times of global crisis, we must, as the influential vocalist sang, "joice with small things." To celebrate battles won. Socialism is the way to communism. Or at least social democracy.

In Political Criticism, we know that social change is not visible immediately. It consists of a 1000 small, persistently carried out years, invisible regular activities. Only erstwhile we go back a decade or 2 can we see how much has been done.

Not only in the sphere of “movement of discourse”. The increases for the budget sphere, which will be introduced by the recently sworn government from next year, can no longer be waved as a superstructure fan – this is rather real support. We have written about the request for specified support for a long time.

What did we do in 2023?

The triumph of the democratic opposition on October 15 was surely a minute of hope in the darkness. After announcing the first poll results, Michał Sutowski wrote that "the triumph was decided by the clash of 2 sides: those who gave up on those who inactive hope".

We had a part in this victory, preparing 2 women's promotional campaigns, # Let's choose and #You gotta choose something. evidence attendance in the 3rd Poland amounted to 74.38 percent. Can we boast that we won the election?

Parliamentary elections were the culmination of our organization's long march. On October 15, the goal was to defeat the populists and halt the evolution of authoritarianism. To defeat the opponent, you request to get to know him first – convinced the Far East manager master Sun Tzu. That's why we spent it before the election. Population of populistsPrzemysław Sadura and Sławomir Sierakowski. This book changed position – the authors convinced to halt fixating on populist politicians and direct the spotlight towards the society that chooses them.

This is not the end of our actions. During the electoral year, the Institute of Political Criticism carried out 7 projects and 11 debates supporting, inspiring and sometimes starting a social discussion on key topics for the improvement of civilian society.

KP released 24 books for print, including bestselling I'm not your Pole., winning 7 awards and 14 nominations in prestigious competitions. To scope readers and readers as widely as possible, we participated in 22 book fairs, over 120 debates, prime ministers, copyright meetings.

The modestly many squad of the Centre for Social and Cultural Political Criticism in Cieszyn has carried out 2 immense projects: Youth Local Government laboratory and visitors' Cieszyn. He has taken quite a few educational and theatre activities with children, youth, migrants and the local community. And we have contributed to the formation of the Youth City Council in Cieszyn!

If you are tired of this propaganda of success, forgive me – sometimes you gotta appreciate your own work. Just in front of you.

You besides can appreciate our work by supporting political criticism regularly. This is not an empty phrase – we are truly changing reality. We are an organization that has been fighting for progressive social change for over 20 years and has repeatedly shown the effectiveness of its actions.

What do we want to do in 2024?

Therefore, speaking of the plans of Political Critic for 2024, we do not put words on the wind in the image of publicists or political analysts who, in the last campaign, could talk any sire, and no 1 will have time to verify them.

In times where “all that is permanent is dissolved in the air”, we do not promise you an immediate leap into the kingdom in freedom. We promise things that are real and within our reach. And you'll see that we'll keep our word from January.

What do you mean?

First of all, we want to open a place of Political Criticism in Warsaw – a clubhouse carefully designed and thought out in terms of accessibility and friendliness for people with various disabilities. We want this place to become a good example of liable business. He acted in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. We want to show that catering can be a place to warrant decent employment conditions. We want this place to become a fresh gathering place for the left and all those who respect the thought of equality.

Secondly, many people let us know that they miss our old books and complain that they gotta spend half their paycheck on utilized books on Allegro. We like to get back to our readings, too. aid make a fewer titles that have already disappeared from the bookshelves again! aid print books like Gender Judith Butler, Debt David Graeber, Capital in the 21st century Thomas Piketty or the cult trilogy of the 19th century Hobsbawma: Age of revolution, Age of capital, Age of empire.

Thirdly, in the Centre for Social and Cultural Political Criticism in Cieszyn, as all year we plan to organize classes, theatre workshops and support programs for children, youth, migrant and excluded people. These are very crucial actions that we do not have adequate money to full respond to the request of the local community in Cieszyn and its surroundings.

Fourth, civilian society enjoys the results of the elections. We have large satisfaction that our 2 incentive campaigns have contributed to them. But it needs to be made clear that populism in Poland is not over yet. We can't sleep through the coming year. We must now collect data and plan a strategy to build a better country after the elections. And urgently We request money to do research. Polish society after the election.

Fifthly, we want to make and keep our hands on the pulse of a changing planet in our public activity. print more reports on political criticism.pl and make fresh journalism forms, specified as video and podcasts. Just to keep responding to the needs of the readers and give you what you want the most.

And sixthly, it is urgent, essential and obligatory to increase the Inclusion of our office and Social Institute of Culture Jasna 10 in Warsaw. Our office are in a 19th century tenement home and adapting it to the needs of people with disabilities is simply a hard and challenging task. However, we do this constantly. It costs a lot. And it's getting better, but it's inactive not perfect. We must change the planet to a better, more friendly and more inclusive.

And seven, the most amazing and the most airtight, but believe me, equally important. As you most likely know, or possibly even in this group, since you read this highly long text to the end, we cooperate as an Association with many people in Poland and in the world, with whom we do dozens, hundreds, and even thousands of projects, texts, cooperation. And with each specified individual we go through the full staff-accounting procedure and we know that sometimes all of this takes an incredibly long time, but we are incapable to shorten this process without employment to the administration department of the fresh person. We want we could thanks to your deposit or even regular financial support, send specified a affirmative signal to this large and wonderful ellipse of friends with us.

This is all going to neglect without your support. We don't promise pears on willow. We promise a new, better and more accessible Political Critic. So that next year we can be something to brag about again. And make the planet a small better.

PS And remember us from 1.5% in 2024!
