So in this election for the first time in your life I'll vote according to your beliefs. I dream of it a 4th of a century, for making this dream come true, I bow before the organization together of humility.
In the first partially free elections of 1989, I was 20 years old. I voted in them for “the photograph with Lech”; happily there was Kuron in my district, but I would have voted for Kaczyński.
I didn't like everything about the Lech team. I was afraid of their clericalism, I was afraid of their nationalism. But she was “minor evil”.
I was hoping that in the first truly free elections I could vote for the Polish Socialist Party. I wasn't counting on success, I was just hoping for what I'd do now: vote according to my worldview and find out how many people in the country are like me.
I was a 20-year-old, so individual who has time and who you want. I was trying to help.
Unfortunately, the “older men” organization (as we called them) came up with a superb plan. They considered that the organization with “socialism” in the name had no chance.
Without giving up organization positions, they together with another older gentlemen founded the association “Solidarity of Labour”. They pushed the decision that the organization would not launch on its own, only individual activists would appear on the list of this association.
It was most likely just Komorowski with his. vo duyen referendum.
So after my period of idealistic commitment to PTSD politics like Oliver Stone after Vietnam. The organization threw me on the Radom episode, so I endure from the Radom flashbacks (maybe that's why I liked Szczerk's "Seven" so much; the core of darkness in this fresh is the flaming Radom block – the hero of my nightmare dreams).
Like Stone, I volunteered, but I had no influence on the moronism of command. Which did not foresee that in the autumn of 1991 the word "solidarity" would be more hated than the word "socialism".
I joined politics to defy neoliberal reforms. But the political genius of “older men” made me collect signatures under the list, whose name was associated with people just these reforms.
Every day I listened to the names of Balcerovich and Wałęsa, c/o Jors Truli from the people of Radom. And I could only helplessly explain that this is another “Solidarity”. Sad as a Miss Saigon song.
If the PPS had launched as a PPS in 1991, the name would have caused a problem, but not as much as the request to “apologize for Solidarity”. That would be a good introduction to the next election.
These came early due to the fact that in 1993. In Poland for the 3rd right-wing semes, 2 were dissolved before the end of the term. It is worth remembering that next elections can come like thunder from the sky.
PPS in 1993 was unprepared. The inalienable start of 1991 was a failure, as a result, there was nothing left but a participation in the "wide agreement of 20 fewer leftist groups under the aegis of OPZZ".
So, yes, I voted. Consoling that it's actually PPS, but it's truly SLD.
Then in the 1997 election, I voted for the SLD again. This time in the classical variant of "minor evil".
The election was known to win the AWS. I wanted them to win as tiny a majority as possible and to have the strongest opposition against each other.
I didn't go for the first time in 2001. The election was known to win the SLD. I wanted them to win as tiny a majority as possible and to have the strongest opposition against each other.
In 2005 I didn't go again. The SLD in the erstwhile word showed that they did not even want to pretend to be left (Leszek Miller then fell in love with the liner taxation and American imperialism). They were no longer "minor evil" to me.
I voted for LiD in 2007. An alliance of environments that could defend us from AWS and Kaczyńskis if they got along in the 1990s. But they only got along erstwhile it didn't substance anymore.
In 2011, I voted for the PO. The organization that yet built the highways deserved this one-off bonus.
In all of these elections (1989-2015) no openly and simply socialist group competed, although of course politicians love to “indict”. For this has led us to give the post-communist monopoly on left-wingness – the word "socialist" has become an insult.
Of course, this is not about this blog. It has always been a “security zone” for socialists. That's why I don't think there will even be any more discussion in the comments this time – I think we're all voting together here.
