Faced with the growing threat of fascism, we cannot stand aside! On 11 November, the Marsz Niepodległości (March of Independence) takes place in Warsaw, organised by the right-wing radical groups “Młodzież Wszechpolska” and ONR, and the march itself features open fascist activists using symbols such as Celtic crosses and the black sun.
Indeed, the Independence March also attracts ‘peaceful families with children’ – this is the result of Polish nationalists creating a whole culture, with a focus on the glorification of the nation, which finds fertile ground, because in Polish schools we are taught to love the fact that we are “Polish” – something over which we have no control and which, ultimately, means very little, but carries with it certain specific connotations.
Perhaps it is time to create a whole culture centred on anti-fascist and anarchist movements? Perhaps we need to offer people a concrete vision of the world we want to strive for, and demonstrate a concrete way of acting in the free spaces that can become part of our way of life?
Join us in building a new, free world!
