The iron grip of censorship is slow closing. In her ticks, the last breath gives a free and free thought. For respective years we have been surviving in the reality of authoritarianism. Since 2020, however, we have slow plunged into a cloud of totalitarianism, increasingly resembling Year 1984 George Orwell.
When a erstwhile activist of the Young Poland Movement who after tragic death Paul Adamovich accidentally became president of the capital of Pomerania, Gdańsk, Aleksandra Dulkiewicz He says another phrase about “freedom”, “fight with PiSowski’s murderism”, etc., let us not believe it. The situation related to her effort to block the gathering of the Polish thought Club in Tricity clearly shows her actual face – the crooked grit of hatred of the mouth of correct totalizm. Like this neoliberal totalizm does not disagree from this neoconservative.
The full POPIS camp, supported by the caricature of the erstwhile left and increasingly losing the identity of the people, is actually on key monolith issues. This block treats civilian rights and constitutional freedoms in a uniform manner. With the same contempt, he refers to a man and a citizen; he believes that he has the right to prohibit us from discussing, gathering or even reading any books. There is no point in recalling the media cesspool that struck out in Gdańsk erstwhile local readers of “Polish Thoughts” decided to organize a presentation and discussion around the book Prof. Alexander DuginManifesto of the large Awakening and Writings of War Time. It would be intellectually disgusting for journalists to be active in fecal events.
However, it is worth noting the opinions that they have made on the full case in Virtual Poland (I'm sorry.) scholars.
Osek: we know better
"I can imagine a panel discussion on rasism (Russian fascism – ed.), where the analysis of Dugin's work would take place, but not promotion in the performance of enthusiasts of this ideological project. The publisher and organizer of the promotion is an environment that we know he sympathizes with Great-Russian chauvinism and has at least disturbing contacts with the embassy of Russia (...). On the another hand, a separate issue is simply a form of issue – specified text should be preceded by an academic introduction, provided with footnotes specified as "Mein Kempf" in the editorial board of prof. King.I did not have the Polish translation of Dugin in my hands, but from the context I conclude that these conditions were not met. (...) Let Engelgard hold meetings he wants until he breaks the law, but it is clear that no academic or public or local government institution should company this, even by renting a hall.”
Dr. hab. Peter Ostęka He's a historian. He deals with technological propaganda, mainly from the period of People's Poland. His work on Russian political thought, especially this contemporary one, is unknown. It is besides unknown whether he speaks Russian and whether he has read any works or monographs about Alexander Dugin.
The worker of the Institute of Political Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences uses public terms in his speech. There is no doctrine called “rascism” by him. From the point of view of the past of political doctrines that should be known to him, we cannot conclude that there is any analogy of the doctrine of Fascism in Russia. Another false message by Osęka is that the publisher and translator are enthusiasts of the author's thoughts, in this case Dugin. There is no specified fascination from their publication.
Another component of Osęka's message is actually the reason for the trial. On what basis does the historian say that he “knows” that we sympathize with “the large chauvinism”? Not a word in support of that statement. What right does he compose about disturbing contacts with the Russian embassy? Or is it possible that any contact with diplomats is fundamentally a suspect, like in the Stalinist times, which he describes in his books? Did he get the thought climate he was describing?
I hope you deficiency the ability to spell correctly the first title of the celebrated book Adolf Hitler It's not a deficit effect, Dr. hab. A weakness, but a mistake of Virtual Poland. Comparing Dugin's Book to Mein Kampf is at least an abuse. Especially due to the fact that Osęka admits that the work of the Russian philosopher has not even seen. The fact itself shows the degree of absurdity. The slurring does not criticize circumstantial Dugin either. He about the book and its publishers “knows his own”. But in the end, he kindly allows John Engelgard organize meetings, though not everywhere.
Morawiecki: polemics without reading?
"Dugin legitimizes criminal system. What is different is the discussion about it, polemics or analysis, and what is different is the promotion of its work. I might as well have wanted to invitation to Poland the leading propagandist of Russian tv Vladimir Solovjov. It would be beginning a window for Russian propaganda. Freedom of speech is not the freedom to advance any ideology, specified as the 1 calling for extermination. We might as well be wondering whether to advance people who deny the Holocaust or pseudophilosophers who defend apartheid. This has nothing to do with academic freedom."
Dr. hab. Jerzej Morawiecki is simply a Slavic philologist and sociologist. Russian and Russian talk due to the fact that he wrote works and reports about it, rather interesting, by the way. However, he has no thought about Eurasianism, nor did he, as you can see, have any contact with Alexander Dugin's work.
In his speech, he uses a bunch of completely unscientific concepts. He argues that the Russian strategy is criminal, which in itself throws off unreflexive publicity. He then lies that Dugin's Russian strategy legitimizes, although this 1 is frequently his hot critic. Without any basis, Morawiecki acknowledges that the discussion of the book is by definition a “promoting” of any ideology. He then resorts to curiosistic, offensive to Russian philosopher comparisons. For more than a lousy publicist, he couldn't get it.
Marshal: Not all free to debate
"Even those who are fascinated by Dugin's thoughts could participate in specified a debate. This would be an interesting investigation experience: put together the views of researchers and readers read in Dugin. discipline should justice things from different perspectives, besides exposure stupidity. possibly that would aid them realize things. specified a gathering could take place even in conditions of violent war by Russia in Ukraine and justified by the ideology promoted by Dugin (...). The meeting, which he wants to organize at all costs in Gdańsk Polish thought Club and people associated with Mateusz Piskorski, has nothing to do with academic debate. It is to be a specified promotion of the book of the ideologist of Russian imperialism. The law - contrary praise of war ideology can be seen here. Piskorski besides does not warrant the quality of the discussion. I don't know anything about the academic competence of this man, but I heard that he had connections with Russian intelligence. So, who are we discussing? In conclusion: the debate is, but only scientific, without promoting ideology. And without the Kremlin's supporters.’
Dr. Janusz Marszalec is simply a historian, erstwhile Deputy manager of the Museum of planet War II in Gdańsk. He wrote about the Warsaw Uprising and the safety apparatus of the People's Poland. We don't know if he speaks Russian. We know that Russia has no technological expertise or achievements in doctrine and politics.
The marshal wants a debate, but only with the participants he has indicated. It does not give any argument that Russia's current war is justified by the ideology promoted by Alexander Dugin, but it does not hesitate to state so. He continues to lie that the Polish thought Club wants to organise a debate in Gdańsk at all costs. The club, despite the organizational difficulties caused by the censorship in this city, organised a debate and meeting. The marshal wasn't on it, so he doesn't know. Ideology and thoughts Dugin was not promoted there, but discussed about the book. I don't know anything about Dr. Marshal's academic competence either. Apparently, we're curious in another areas of science. Given the fact that Alexander Dugin's books did not read and he has no thought of his thoughts, in fact he would most likely not be a discussion partner in this area.
Thinking Decline
We pay attention above only to the statements of 3 representatives of Polish science. no of them have any thought of the subject, but yet everyone decides to make a statement, encouraging the practices of the censors with opinions of the academic world. Neither of them besides held Alexander Dugin's book (maybe they only like those books they know, paraphrasing the celebrated engineer Mamania from Cruise). I won't mention reading it.
Everyone uses public rhetoric, very superficial cognition and media stereotypes. I know that the journalistic planet in Poland is scrubbing after the bottom. But I hoped that the academic planet did not fall so low. Although let us be comforted by the fact that possibly the writer called those who he expected in advance the “right” answers to.
Mateusz Piskorski
