I just came across a video on social media claiming that this person’s father and mother lived in “communist Poland” and that their lives were awful. They claimed the government took their parents’ land and that they were incredibly poor. The father was apparently jailed and the mother fled to Italy. After doing some digging it was clear (the person outright said it) that their family was part of the Solidarity movement in Poland. What does this mean? I want to take the time to refute this in the comments because nobody else seems to be doing it. I know it may be a waste of time, but hey, it’s late and I’ve got nothing to do. How do I respond?
Edit: Just did a quick Google search and found out they received 2 million a year from the CIA. Genuinely laughed out loud.
The only way this would be any true is if they were social parasites or active anticommunists. And even those got a life better than basically any poor people in capitalist Poland or any other country. It’s just a gusano or petty bourgie propaganda. Fuck them.
Unfortunately at highest point almost 10 million people were. It don’t mean anything though it’s often used by gusanos and local anticommunist to pretend martyrology. Obviously mere fact of belonging to solidarity was not a cause for punishment.
“Post hog bootlicker”, i’m surrounded by those types and no argument will work anyways.
Yeah, it was the great prototype of all colour coups. It started as more or less legit movement with mostly economical demands caused by the crisis and rising costs of living, and then was completely taken over by CIA. Also the pope and church were main middlemen, which is important point to understand Poland.
