Forced Desolution of the USSR and the PPR?

Economic shock therapy to be precise.

Wh- How?

Nationalists in the PZPR, so relative. The conflict was brewing since the beginning, but when Stalin lived, Bierut had support to do what’s necessary, he couldn’t just purge everyone, there was way too much unprincipled ML in the party and government. but after Stalin death and Bierut becoming less active because his health deteriorated the bar swinged to the opposite side. Ultimately it happened right after the infamous Khrushchev speech, Bierut died in Moscow right after (possibly murdered, though not necessarily, for example Kim Il Sung was in identical situation but he got back alive and purged the revisionists in DPRK). After Bierut death the gradual purge happened against his followers and the nationalist faction with Władysław Gomułka took the power (Gomułka was housearrested for “rightwing-nationalist deviation” previously). Even Khrushchev was somewhat troubled with that so he came to Poland to talk some compromise with new government and while he managed to do it, the transcript of the talk is something to behold, Gomułka veiled threatened Khrushchev for concessions.

By then the revisionism was not obvious, outwardly everyhthing looked ok but bureocratisation of party and state followed and the next turn in 1970 brought titoists to power.

(informal) to live together (with someone) as sexual partners without being married.

That is precise translation

“Living on a Cat’s Paw”

That’s absolutely literal XD

sigh Stalin.

Rare Stalin L.

Although it must be noted it wasn’t that unreasonable from the state sound of view, USSR was the first and only state to legalise abortion then and its impact on population growth was overstated by the statistics because lack of research (also early soviet statistics sucked donkey ass, Lenin was constantly complaining about that). Ultimately it proved bullshit but we only know this from the retrospect.

What’s even the point to be cruel to the adopted and the adoptee 😒 I’m sure god (if they exist) would’ve liked it more from people adopting kids and raising them when others wouldn’t. I swear, some people can be so unnecessarily petty and hateful.

Biblical God seems like more evil version of Azathoth so figures a lot of devouts would be like lovecraftian cultists.

You’ll never see this ever happening with Fascist/Nazi nonsense. 🫠 It’s always communist/socialist theories that gets banned. Always. (Okay maybe except in the AES countries, but still)

Of course, most famous example from Poland was when a legit court released openly hailing, swastika covered neonazi because it was “roman salute”.

If they’d do this, why do they bother to still be connected with the Vatican? lmao Is it because of John Paul II’s Legacy?

That too, but mainly because legitimacy of 1000 years of catholicism in Poland and so on. As Machiavelli said, being established eases up maintaining the power. Schism now could uncover some very unpleasant for church facts, like how much people really care.

The Catholic Church used to be progressive?!

Compared to earlier church. John XXIII initiated some reforms and thus was progressive for example compared to hitler’s pope Pius XII. Or John Paul I who was pretty radical for a bishop though we do not know if he would be just like the “Hot Air” Francis since he was most likely murdered soon after election.
