Let's cut to the chase. So what's this endocommunum? This is primarily an epithet, which is given by 2 distinct environments by journalists, mainly liberals. Marxists, full-time communists, who at 1 time tried to combine their political presence with representing the Polish state.
Of course, in the manner and in the dimension in which it was possible in that era. On the another hand, they give these political groups from the Dmowski School, which in the areas of social relations, economical facilities, etc. did not refrain from left-wing stature. In order to make this thoughtful conflict more credible, the same Democrats effort to show that these 2 idealally – political groups have something more in common. Namely common views on the assessment of the global situation and geopolitical situation of Poland.
And putting a proverbial dot over the "i" to dislike the West, especially to the Anglo-Saxons and a large favour to Russia. At present, this is mainly meant to be anti-American. Of course, political journalism governs its laws, uses epithets and primarily thought abbreviations. However, there is more to this case. Mainly about disgust, lurking somewhere in the Polish shadow of specified a reflection on our country, about its key issues, which stems from national-democratic principles. To the dismay of left-wing thinkers, it did not come completely from our perfect scene, constantly lurking in our back. However, in reality both environments are in Polish ideological space rather separately. Yes, there is simply a group of Polish left, which can be called national communists.
Who's that? They are primarily members of the erstwhile organization who rejected cosmopolitanism, recognizing that the subject of past are not social classes, but nations. In this case, the Polish Nation. Communism or socialism is so a tool of this community, not any abstract class association. specified an evolution of views was possible on the ground of deep sociological changes in the composition of the PZPR, which at the expense of members with judaic roots was fed by a contingent of mostly peasant sons. What about the national and democratic direction?
Decimated after the war, however, he survived as an updated ideology: not only among the epigons of the Movement, but above all among their disciples. 1 might say that in a miniaturized form there was a reconstruction of pre-war divisions. This more democratic part has now gone into cooperation with the Law and Justice. And at the price of legitimizing this formation on the right, she obtained respective licensed positions. Was it worth it? We don't know that yet. The second environment is Przemysł Polska, who, on our basis, after moving from London to Warsaw, was powered by these endemic pupils, who were in various groups of secular Catholics, who were looking for the common good then under the PRL. And it is their left-wing liberals who want to permanently burden the epithet – as they think – with endocommunies. However, you gotta do your job, and as Władysław Gomulka said, “Dogs bark caravans go on.”
