None of the things pointed out in that article tell me the president is right in his concerns but I’m not familiar with the Polish communist party…
So Poles, is your communist party actually dangerous in some way (beyond “they’re communist and he/I don’t like communism”)?

It’s al performative bullshit by right wing conservatives. Over here these grifters outlawed Antifa, an organization that doesn’t even exist. Imagine being against people who are anti fascist.

Communists should be banned from politics on principle.

It’s monumentally stupid, especially that the actual, rebranded Polish United Workers Party is currently in the government, hell, they used to have a majority and a president at one point.

The Polish Communist Party (founded in 2002) has:
>denounced Euromaidan and the Revolution of Dignity as a fascist act
>supported the existance of the so-called Donetsk PR
>hailed Stalin as a liberator and praised Kim Il-Sung
>supports the corrupt Maduro regime that is impoverishing Venezuelans
>supported Milošević’s wars of genocide against non-Serbs
>calls for the abolition of NATO and dismantling all NATO bases
>wants Communism, so in support of a failed, disgusting system that brought suffering to many nations, including Poland itself
>is actually conservative and has had ties to the extreme right (you, the lads more right-wing than Konfederacja even)
All in all, a bunch of traitors and hostile agents. Ripe for helicopter rides, not simple banning.

Perhaps performative. But why not.
The counterarguments against doing it aren’t strong. And its probably the symptom of a mind virus if you are instinctively against it. The rational response is “If you really think this is the best use of your time Mr President, I have no objections, please go ahead”. Ironically, if you are against the current President you should be happy the time he spends on this wont be spent on other projects.
Its not the worst idea to clean up the petri dish incase something eventually grows out of it. And if you argue against it, when someone tries to outlaw a legitimate political party you’ll be written off as “the guy that didn’t want to ban the communists” when really you just couldn’t resist being triggered.
If somehow someone started the Polish Nazi Party, I would be fine with shutting that down even if it only had 5 members.

I’m tempted to quote one Polish mercenary regarding the humanity of communists.
Overall a good decision.

Nawrocki is an idiot and I normally wouldn’t agree with him, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. This is one of those times.
A communist party should never be allowed in Poland for the same reason a Nazi party should never be allowed in Germany. Ask any Pole who has lived through communism and they’ll tell you exactly that.
And don’t even get me started on said party’s connections to the Kremlin (yes I know they’re not the only party with such connections, but nobody with a brain will cry when they’re gone).

But Poland’s real problem is the prorussian Confederation party, which wants to destroy the EU, support Russia, destroy Ukraine, and the whole shebang.
Their leaders are members of the group that fought in the Donbas war from 2014 to 2022.
But the president loves the Confederation very much.

Also it’s low key histeric because original KPP was victim of Stalinist purges. That’s why power after WW2 was not in theirs but PZPR (Polish United Worker’s Party) hands…

It’s an irrelevant party that has never gotten even a single person into either Sejm, Senate, nor even regional assemblies.
they are literally completely irrelevant, not even starting in elections because they can’t get enough votes to put even a single person in office. (they tried to sign up their people trough other parties but failed)

They’ll just change their name but keep their ways. In Moldova pro-russkis are called whatever you want: communists, socialists, alternative, democrats, sovereigns, neutral. It don’t matter what they’re called, what matters is what they do and what they stand for.

Liberal democracies will complain about communist states banning liberal and capitalist parties and then ban communist/socialist parties in the same breath. At this point ideological consistency doesnt matter, just play dirty.
If they are so hell bent on democracy and liberty why not ban the far right? Maybe because they arent a threat to capital?

Meh, this is a microscopic party. Still, it should not have been allowed to exist in the first place, so sure, go ahead. 👍
Hopefully our president is similarly keeping watch on a certain far-right party that is currently surging in popularity in Poland! 😇
