The Solidarity Fraud

Most people may find it hard to imagine. The Solidarity movement of the 1980s, the one that supposedly was decisive in freeing Poland from the chains of communism, was a communist trick and a huge lie.

The course of events over the next twenty four years proved beyond any doubt that the 1989 settlement was merely a trick enabling the communists to remain in control and to continue occupying all positions of power.

Let me make myself perfectly clear. There never was a civil society in Poland after 1945. The prevailing view that the rise of the civil society in the 1970s and 1980s somehow brought about the regime change and democratization is a fairy tale.

Bulletins were printed
Banners were displayed
Prayers were spoken
Strikes were held

Prizes were given
Books were written
Speeches were made
Medals were awarded

And it was all a hoax.
