About 2 weeks ago, I saw rather accidentally and heard on tv news a fragment of the speech of the individual holding the office of the Minister of abroad Affairs of Poland.
By pouring out conventional words and sentences filled with rage and hatred against Russia (such slopings, if they are turned in the ‘incorrigible’ direction of the global jargon, possibly called ‘speak of hatred’), he utilized the phrase that the origin of all evil was ‘fascist state ideology in Russia, and its imperialism). I listened to insults, lies and matts from “official sources” many times, but at that point I was speechless. Sikorski utilized a pitiful choice (machinally? unwittingly from the momentum?) which for decades (I have 74 years) communists have spat on all persons, doctrines and organizations for them uncomfortable or dangerous. Fascist, comrades, yes, yes! A primitive slogan, washed out of any real ideological content, could be utilized as a situational club. The boomerang of polytruds is back! What is the ideology and doctrine of Fascism (a strategy applied exclusively in Italy 1922-1945 and distinguishedly different from national socialism in Germany 1933-1945) – I would direct the minister (and all student) to the right textbooks. In a decent public language, this word must not be applied to various variants of corporate, state, authoritarian, or spiritual systems. All the more to the alleged strong hand of the rule, specified as the 1926-1939 Polish sanitation. That's what left-wing agitators do. A individual in a serious position is compromised by specified jargon.
But Sikorski didn't mean that. The phrase “fascism” is intended to defame the enemy. Significantly, this minister did not call Russia's alleged "bad" communist ideology (although much stronger historical associations). specified a comparison would not have liked his closest, closer and further protectors from the "West" whose large part looks at communism with a growth. all conscious observer of the planet knows perfectly well that the modern state of Russia has absolutely nothing to do with fascism. In no way, including in the doctrinal sphere.
And now imperialism. Indeed, Russia had and has specified tendencies, stemming from historical geopolitics and the concept of a far-off prefield of safe borders. However, comparative questions are born. Did our successive (wrong God) governments condemn U.S. ruthless imperialism during the bloody bombings of Serbia in 1999, during the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan (where after 20 years of business the Americans ran out of dust), Iraq in 2003, during violent bombings in Syria and Yemen in fresh years, etc., etc. And where, conversely, the mercenary contingents of the WP (I consider it a disgrace) have put us in memory of the nations tamed in the mediate and mediate East, which will reflect bitter hiccups for many years. There is so imperialism “bad” and imperialism “loved” due to the fact that it promotes a “appropriate” strategy subject to the right interests or “sorosism”. Thank you. Did this minister condemn Israel's criminal aggression on Iran with equal passion in June this year, exhausting signs of aggression identical to the German attack on Poland on 1 September 1939? Did the Polish government support the motion for a UN resolution (notabenes already a complete mockery) on Israel's war crimes? Through the tv screen, the alleged government spokesperson was writhing like a squeaker and babbling after Israeli raids: yes, there was an intervention, but... Filth and shame.
I'm going back to Minister R.S. erstwhile he avenged Russia's "fascist idealology" next to him, there was a man serving as the Minister of abroad Affairs of Ukraine. An oligarchical conglomerate in which the criminal ideology of Doncov-Bandera and their likes were raised to the rank of semi-official under the bloody sign of the OUN-UPA, an ideology that guided the uncounted genocide of 200 000 Poles by very many Ukrainian formations assisted by the peasant common movement. possibly R.S. will turn with his “fascism” that way.
Conclusion. I'm disgusted and powerless. I do not want specified a government and its representatives in the partial territory of Poland, in which my life is coming (my Mother's household lost ancient nests in lost Poland, in Lviv and Kolomya). I would add that the equally ugly east policy was conducted by the PiS team. So it's not about organization signs and changing protectors, it's about minimum decency towards your own people. The disregard of the fundamental interests of Poland by those who decide our destiny offends me. But there is more. active in the fierceness of the “party of war” on another's acorn, utilizing offensive and provocative slogans, contrary to any rules of diplomacy, violent jumps bring us closer to the minute erstwhile Russia says: enough. Then 30 million helpless victims will vanish into dust in minutes, while instigators will hide in warm nests far away.
