"Unfortunate Communism". Poles deserve Przemysław Babiarz

According to the forecast broadcast of the beginning of the Olympic Games in Paris, the Poles were awakened by “Western Civilization” or “European” defenders. Of course, this 1 understood in Kremlovsk, which orders to argue western corruption, decay, spitting on the uniform of Jesus, LGBT ideology and imaginary leftist propaganda. This one. The reactionary, pop-conservative talk we already know by heart.

Suspended for not a very deep comment about the "communist" sending 1 of the most celebrated pop songs in past (and respective similar, by Jarosław Kaczyński) Przemysław Babiarz for 1 weekend became an icon of the conflict for freedom of speech, sentenced to be eaten for expressing uncomfortable truths. It's funny, considering how overwhelming the hegemony of ultra-Catholic conservatives in Polish media is.

It was confirmed by these reactions to the beginning of the games. I can't believe I gotta remind you of that, but Polish media and the net are totally concreted by church sociators – from Michał Szuldrzyński from “Rzeczpospolita”by discovering right-wing artist Jarosław Wolski, after Dominika Długosz from “Newsweek”.

Nevertheless, working in the Pisan TVP Babiarz could sign in 2021 with another radicals under Ordo Iuris appeal To fight anticonservative censorship. And even after The neoliberal takeover of television The hair did not fall off Babar's head, though he was remembered as a zealous associate Jack Kurski welcome committee.

So you have the choice of open, atheistic and military conservatives, yet the sectarians of Ordo Iuris cried, with support divorcee-evangelist A baboon, over censorship, and present they groan that putting an ultraconservative imagination of everything, headed by pop culture, into the heads of viewers of right-wing tv is simply a journalistic human right. You've earned it.

A baboon will soothe his longing for Jack Kurski

It is easy to forget that Babiarz belongs to egg concrete, who ruled TVP from 2015 until the end of 2023. No wonder it is Jacek Kurski who stands on the frontline of the fight against censorship present and solstices the lesser politicians and media clapping the script of holy outrage. Babiarz obeyed the expectations of the station's authorities – generating widespread joy, for example, in words that ski jumps lost popularity after being transferred to TVNAnd they got her back erstwhile they got back to TVP. any loyalty from his powers is due to him today.

As a writer's raisin in the smiling TVP Babiarz has a contribution to a peacemaker in the Polish-Polish war. However, the writer is, let's say, a euphemist, close associate of Opus Dei – regularly takes part in trips and training organised by the “Catholic Mafia”.

How I wrote a fewer days ago., politicians who are in close relations with Opus Dei's crew will be found in almost all organization sitting in parliament present – from the deputy head of the Polish Parliament Club PO Roman Giertych, by presently guarding deputy minister in the PiS government Marcin Romanowski, to Szymon Hołownia surviving in the Opusdeia Otwok opusdei.

Moreover, the suspended Babiary began to defend the written faction of the parliamentary left in the individual of MP Matysiak or trembling before the omnipotent concordate Anna Maria Żukowska. With specified a broad coalition, it is hard not to respect Babar as an apostle of national reconciliation.

Babiarz has cognition of pop music to measurement the average Pole

On the weekend a colleague, an expert in John Lennon's work and pop music as such, sent me interesting conversation with the collective memory specialist Cesar A. Hidalgo. In an umbrella played during Friday's beginning adminine Lennon Hildago sees the blurring of collective ideas about artists and icons of his time, and consequently the displacement of central figures for a given period – specified as Lennon – and replacing them with others specified as Elon Musk.

It's most likely the best explanation for the situation where we're talking again like drunk children in the fog about this billions of times we've discussed. The mechanisms of cultural forgetfulness work so that serious people can no longer decently evidence the completely uncomplicated name of a associate of the Beatles group.

That Babiarz recognizes adminine for "communist" – as he said at the time of the beginning of the 2022 games – it is not ideologically incorrect, it is simply simple, especially in the case of a 60-year-old who has been working in the media for many years. But what to anticipate from the spiritual Hunwabin, who has akin quality reflections devotes to the "climate ideology" of the UN and the EU; offers homosexuals prayers for their conversion (!) or invites to the March of Life and Family, due to the fact that “mama, father, children” is the value “absolutely basic to our civilization”.

The song itself has its roots in fresh joint sessions of The Beatles, which resulted in albums Abbey Road and Let It Be. Some, like Toby Manning, author of this year's book Mixing Pop and Politics: A Marxist past of Popular Music see in the track the answer to Let It Be McCartney and they argue that it was only in the materialistic 1980s, in the days of Reagan and Thatcher, that idealism and naivety began to be cast upon the hippie.

There is much to be said about Lennon's "naked idealism" from this period. There is besides much to be said about systemic sexism, which, in the eyes of the public, has made Yoko Ono a sexually liberated Marxist witch who controls Lennon after leaving the parent team. Even in times of powerful ideologies, woke can inactive be drawn something interesting from the outrageous right hand piece.

Babiar encourages: scope for Marx

The justifications of Babiarz's opinion sent by net users from all over Poland include, among others, Lennon's message that adminine is prescribed Communist Manifesto. I know your sources, which is why I am amazed that there are no further statements from the “New Musical Express” in Wikipedia, where Lennon explains that he is not curious in communism that could be introduced by any crazy Russian or Chinese. "We should have any nice... British socialism." As with the average left, Lennon besides points out that there is no communist country in the world.

In 1971, erstwhile adminine It saw the light of day, on the left side, for a long time all crucial stone bands of that time had actually stood. Caetano Veloso, Brazilian icon tropicalismo, writes in his memoirs that among the young Brazilians of the 1960s with a candle to look for people who would not share socialist ideals.

Sly and The household Stone? Fela Kuti? Brian Eno? The Clash? Those were the commies. And only regret that the French did not scope for (partly) their Marxists from Stereolab. Hear individual from TVP comment on the text about “millions that will lose their jobs, homes and accents and die in their bloody wars” from Ping Pong It would be a pleasure.

But since Lennon can aid get to the toes of a moving man after 175 years Communist Manifestowhich seemed to me a small undervalued in fresh years – so be it. I think Manifest should be read in schools, critically or affirmatively, with good cognition of the historical context. It's stupid to talk about lyrics, books, and movies that you can't read and can't understand. And thanks to Babiarz, the full Poland is reading Marx present to show what his lyrics gotta do with the fall of the West. It's a step in the right direction, just look:

"Proletariats have nothing of their own to secure, but they must destruct everything that has previously secured and protected private property. All erstwhile movements were movements of minorities or in the interests of minorities. The proletarian movement is an independent movement of the vast majority in the interests of the vast majority. The proletariat, the lowest layer of the present society, cannot emergence up, cannot stand up, without blowing up the full superstructure of the authoritative society."

Isn't it beautiful?

You can call me a dreamer

The thing is, however, that reducing the evolving ideological baggage adminine to the grotesque “unfortunate communist” no 1 has to the planet beyond the narrow head of the commentator. The Babarz was not dismissed for the fact that individual on TVP was hurt by the hatred of the large music or especially the communist music – probably, as quoted by Agnieszka Kublik, they wanted to fire him for many months and there was an excuse. Although I will not say that I do not perceive with much sympathy to Mark Czyż, proclaiming the suspension of the Babiarist with the words: "the common understanding, tolerance, reconciliation – it is not only the basic Olympic ideas, it is besides the foundation of the standards which guide the fresh Polish Television". A good change after imagining people surviving in peace was reduced to “unfortunate communism”. And an unpleasant difference in the reception of both events.

At the same time, Babiarz deserved an empty laughter at least a small more intelligent audience, that he defiled Lennon's good name or discovered for the planet the subversiveness of the celebrated ballad.

It is simply a complete lie of reality – due to the fact that it is not even about creating false symmetry. The fact that a clerical officer with clearly extremist views is not even identified as a radical, and in defence of his “unfortunate communism” are dyed to various political colors of law and left cannoles, only sometimes – as now, on the occasion of the defence of Częstochowa – revealing masks and showing little sympathetic faces of people who have succumbed to dominant ideology. And as a surviving ideology is not communism – neither is he who Luke Kohut sees in the organization together, nor the 1 who roared to see Thomas Lis in the dissing Pope of Political Criticism. It is turboliberalism married to nationalism and with a radically Catholic cartridge.

I share Marx's hope of blowing up the bourgeoisie into the air and Lennon's fantasy of a planet without religion, but for the deficiency of lak to begin with, I would have had adequate little thoughtless Catholic darkness pouring out of all corner of (social) media, even those pretending to be progressive. I am embarrassed by the full defensiveness of the left, which has no hope of gaining political capital in attacking the clergy and intellectually tiny “anti-communismIt’s okay. ”

A fewer weeks after the triumph of the left in France, the Polish screamers decided to show that France is no longer there – but we can envy the organizers of the games of specified an absence, open to discussion about their own past and its various aspects, ready to draw conclusions from the revolutionary moments. We can only read in Agora's media that pushed to the full defensive left one more time lacked empathy. A "nice European socialism" would be something – unfortunately, we are far more distant than ever.
