Round Table Farce: Poland’s Communism Still Bites: It Lives on in Today’s Foreign-Serving Lewaks, and in Chronic Government Corruption
Author Goodwin is an award-winning American sociologist. He confirms the suspicion of Poles that Communism in Poland did not really fall in 1989: It merely changed its spots. He writes, “Second, some Communists undoubtedly perceived liberalization and open elections not as forces that would sweep them away, but as elements of a purely STRATEGIC retreat that was necessary–and not for the first time–precisely in order to hold on to their power and privilege in the long run. In Poland, for example, Communists seemed to believe that they could win at least sufficient support in contested elections to form or enter into a coalition government. By thus sharing democratically legitimated power–and, thereby, responsibility for economic austerity–they seem to have calculated that they could begin to repair their reputations, at least relative to that of their opponents.” (p. 281).
Exactly right! Note these basic and sobering facts, 1). The Communists essentially remained in power; 2). Communism was never disgraced and rejected for what it was–a Soviet imposition; 3). Because of the Round Table, Communism became disguised as something normal and “democratic”; 4). No Communist was ever brought to justice for his crimes (because of the GRUBA KRESKA). There was no Lustration; 5). The Communists variously rebranded themselves as post-Communists, postmodernists, lewaks (liberals), and progressives. For more on this, see:

The legacy of the Round Table farce for Poland was disastrous. The absence of justice for Communist crimes vividly showed that crimes go unpunished, and thereby created a permanent culture of corruption in the Polish government. Communism, having abandoned its servility to the Soviet Union, merely transferred its servility to the European Union, the Jews, and other foreign interests that act against Polish interests; 6). Communism, having dropped its class-warfare rhetoric, nevertheless retained its hatred for Poland’s Catholic Church and for Polish patriotism (notably the Zolnierze Wykleci). Most devastating of all, Communism retained its power by thwarting judicial reform in Poland, thereby guaranteeing that the judges appointed to Polish courts are leftists that de-Christianize Poland, and gradually impose on Poland the social decay that is in western Europe.
