This is small example how books are getting published in Poland. They take the already anticommunist book and it’s never anticommunist enough so they add more on their own volition (oddly enough the original is not actually very directly anticommunist, author rather whitewash monarchy than bash communists, but the polish edition make it quite different in tone, as if the Haven was mix of revolutionary France and PRL). And i shudder to think what they are adding along the way to other books, in this case i just got it because i happened to read the original version too.

Another example is the “People History of United States” by Zinn. Zinn was a succdem that basically did not wrote anything about communism in his book, he nearly completely omitted both american communist movement and the relations between USA and socialist states (except Vietnam). Polish publishing house (soccdem, the lefternmost we have) did not changed the text, but added, to a book that nearly continously bash USA, a preface that is entirely anticommunist.
