NATIONALISM - A PROBLEM FOR DEMOCRACY OR NOT IN 21ST CENTURY? THE EXAMPLE OF POLAND

 Summary

The article discusses what Polish nationalism is, what its basic theses are and what it should be like so as not to pose a threat to democracy. The author presents the issue of Polish nationalism as it is - but certainly not in terms of stereotypes, understatements or predetermined pejorative undertones. The least amount of space has been devoted to the issue of radical nationalism, but this is because it is practically marginal in Polish social and political life and has virtually no support in society. Argument was fundamentally based on what nationalism is and what it should be, to harmonize with the issue of democracy in the 21st century, and not to oppose it.

 

Key words

nationalism, nationalist, democracy, anti-globalism, cosmopolitanism

 

Introduction

Is nationalism bad? Often associated (which is a great mistake) with the criminal ideologies of the 20th century, i.e. Hitler's Third Reich (nazism) and B. Mussolini's Italy (fascism). Both German and Italian nationalism were impure nationalism, even its distortion, a great pathology. From the point of view of the nation and/or the state, nationalism is a good thing, if it does not lead to the exclusion or even extreme extermination of other nations (an example is not nationalism, but chauvinism in the form of the Ukrainian UPA-OUN from the 1940s). Nationalism, especially modern one, is an alternative to cosmopolitanism. Its primary task is to defend and protect what is national and state, i.e. workplaces, industry, infrastructure, telecommunications, etc. Nationalism also defends the culture and religion into which it was implanted and which it continues to be a part of.

What came first – the nation or the state? This is an almost eternal question in the history of the world. Most existing nations form independent states. Their creation is associated with the rise of nationalist sentiments in the 18th and 19th centuries, when the idea arose that each nation should create an independent state. The mutual interaction between the state and the nation can be described in two terms:

• nation-building role of the state - the young state, through political, economic, and educational activities, leads to the unification of various ethnic groups into one integrated nation. It may also take place through territorial conquests of a given country [according to the author of this article, this could be the case, but it did not have to be, but in the original phase, in ancient times, this does not apply to the present day]

• the state-forming role of the nation - the nation as a social group strives, through specific actions, to create its own and sovereign state [the most justified approach, which the author of this article supports, as it applies to the present day].

So, in the author's opinion, first there was a nation, i.e. a community of blood, language, religion, customs, history and land (created from the merger of tribes that scientists today would call "ethnic groups"). In the next stage of evolution, the expansion of nations, there was a need to organize. This is how a state organism was created, which was supposed to make it easier to manage this national community. It is worth noting that a nation can exist without a state, live in a diaspora, as was the case in history with the Jews after the destruction of the Jerusalem temple in 70 A.D., until they lost their statehood for almost 2,000 years, or with Poles who lived without their own state. for 123 years of partition. So, it must be emphasized once again that a nation without a state will survive, but a state without a nation will not survive, otherwise it will be just a collection of random people. However, there is an exception - the United States of America. However, this example is a social experiment on a global and historical scale. Random people from different flags (although in the beginning they were basically English) made a social contract among themselves and created individual colonies. At some point in history, they decided on one of the so-called "continental congresses" break with the British crown and be bound by an agreement, de facto creating a new state body of a federal nature - the United States of America. It should be added that it is not the state that is superior to the nation, but quite the opposite, because the nation is the sovereign. On the other hand, if we consider an entity superior to the state in international relations, then there is no such entity. It is worth emphasizing that to this day there is anarchy in inter-state relations, i.e. a body supervising statehood has not yet been established. Any unions, alliances, organizations, etc. are matters secondary to the state. This is not commonly talked about in everyday use, but in studies and in books on international relations it is one of the basic principles of these relations.

Characteristics of contemporary Polish nationalism

In Poland, nationalism has a pejorative meaning, although this results from society's dilettantism on this topic, stereotypes, and the campaign of the so-called "leftism". For years, society was told that nationalism = nazism, and that nationalism is chauvinism. What a play on words. Nationalism, chauvinism, and Nazism mean completely different things. It should be emphasized that the nationalist attitude is not an autonomous and complete ideology, but a set of principles that are or were adhered to by various varieties of the right (National Democracy, Kemalism) and the left (Jacobins, Khmer Rouge). Throughout history, there have been various types of nationalisms, e.g. national conservatism, national liberalism, national radicalism, as well as their wild, distorted forms, such as national socialism (Nazism - Germany), fascism (Italy), national Bolshevism and national communism (including. Russia, China). The literature on nationalism has established three ways of interpreting chauvinism. Some authors identify it directly with nationalism. Others see it as an extreme and degenerate form of nationalism, which is graded from morally good, through morally neutral, to a morally bad form - chauvinism. Still others distinguish it from nationalism, which they connect with political doctrine, and identify chauvinism with the negative emotional sphere [Tarasiewicz 2008].

Returning strictly to the essence of the topic, nationalism, or rather its perversion, i.e. nazism, fascism, where the driving force is the ubiquitous argument of the fist, and everything is subjected to total power, without any control of any state organs, is unequivocally worthy of only one - condemnation. Any nationalist deterioration (can't lack of faith in God be the basis for such a situation?) is doomed to failure from the start, as history teaches posterity. Therefore, being a nationalist should be associated with the awareness of enormous responsibility before God, the homeland and one's own nation, and perhaps above all, oneself. Those who have the good of the nation and the state at heart and who are willing to devote their entire lives to working for them (both physical and intellectual) should be called a nationalist. The word "nationalist" should mean something elitist [Kizwalter], but not identical with xenophobia, the image of which in today's world has also been distorted (in the sense of elitism, but in the sense of openness, anyone can become a nationalist). A nationalist is a person who pays taxes in his homeland [Mazurek 2018], cares about the moral and social order, knows where to throw away the garbage, but is also not afraid of what others will say when he puts on a white and red shirt on his shoulder on a major or minor national holiday, anniversary, or celebration. a patriotic armband or sweatshirt with an eagle or will proudly hold the national flag among crowds, with due reverence and respect. He is a wise and educated man. The ideal is an intelligent person. Such a person should have a strong sense of value, but without distortions such as narcissism, to be a model and an authority for the nation to follow. Does the financial situation matter? Definitely not. Both poor and rich people can be nationalists.

A nationalist is a realist [Ziemkiewicz 2012] (idealism should be left to those who are still at the stage of childhood, naivety, i.e. ideological socialists, communists, and platonic totalitarians). Why should nationalism be focused on reality? Well, because people, live in the real world, amidst both its challenges and threats.

When it comes to any other nations or the issue of migration, first, the homeland should be for the nation that created it and inhabits it in the vast majority. Then for everyone else who is willing and able to work for her. However, the condition for this is complete assimilation (according to the rules of the receiving country because the nation is the host and the refugee, immigrant - the guest), and the creation of ghettos cannot occur. Because any attempts at isolation may threaten national stability and may break it. What is needed here is cooperation based on symbiosis, not competition. All antagonisms should be eliminated at the grassroots level, so that, for example, genocide will never occur in the future, as they have already stained the history of many nations and states with blood. In addition, any major differences that appear within the nation over time should be eliminated so that they do not later grow to colossal proportions, as far-reaching as separatism. Nationalism, or loyalty to the nation-state, is treated as an atavistic experience. This is the result of the logic of the liberal-left understanding of human "progress", with people as interchangeable units linked by human rights defined according to liberal-left anthropology. This includes, for example, transgender rights, reproductive rights, and unlimited immigration. This is a form of egalitarianism, not only for citizens in the state national, but for everyone. Such a globalist project treats divisions according to nation states as arbitrary, rejecting patriotism as discrimination against "others" [Bryk 2017].

War? One thing is for sure. The only war that has been going on for a long time and will continue to this day is not a war of nations, although an ideological one, between the nation (nation state), i.e. nationalism, and the liberal, socialist world, i.e. cosmopolitanism. These are two different worlds and worldviews, at opposite poles. the conflict of nationalism and cosmopolitanism is the essence of European history [Lis 2021].

But what is this cosmopolitanism? The name comes from the three Greek words cosmos (world), polis (city) and ismos (view) and is a set of views that negate any divisions, both cultural, political and territorial. Supporters of cosmopolitanism claim that their homeland is not a country or another formalized area, but the entire world. Supporters of this ideology strive for the political and social unity of the world, free from divisions and conflicts, united into one universal community. The doctrine formulated in this way is the opposite of both patriotism and nationalism. Already in ancient Greece, Diogenes (the Cynic) said: "I am a citizen of the world" [Prokop], this was supposed to be his answer to the question where his home country was. Socrates was also said to have said similarly that he belonged not to Athens or Greece, but to the world. Cosmopolitanism was later promoted by the Stoics. Seneca the Younger wrote in a letter to Lucilius that the whole world is his homeland (Latin: "patria mea totus hic mundus est") [Kruczalak 2015]. Nowadays, cosmopolitanism is promoted by globalists, some anarchists, but also communists and some new religious movements (New Age) [Szafarz]. Opposite nationalism are also such deceptive "sciences" as: anationalism, internationalism, anti-patriotism and, to some extent, imperialism.

All nation states stand in a conflict of interests and ideology regarding world unification, which must first take place at the continental stage. There must be a mixing of people, and therefore of races, languages, culture, and religions, so that there are no strong, compact, and homogeneous nations. This is a war for existence, for vital interests, to be or not to be. that is why Polish nationalists oppose migration, at least mass, uncontrolled migration [Bartkiewicz 2019].

So, what about unions, alliances, and interstate organizations? Of course, cooperation is yes, domination - no (as is the case today in the European Union, where the strong rule - de facto, the duo of Germany and France). Union, alliance yes, although based on cooperation of free, independent, and sovereign states (e.g. according to the theory of Europe of homelands by Robert Schumann or Charles de Gaulle, confederation, the principle of subsidiarity, i.e. subsidiarity). Europe of homelands, Europe of nations - one of the visions of the European Union, assuming economic relations while maintaining the political independence of the united countries. The distinctive feature of this concept was the emphasis on respect for state sovereignty and the development of intergovernmental rather than supranational cooperation [Góralski 2007]. This is the Europe that contemporary Polish nationalists think about.

The question is – democracy or soft authoritarianism? It depends. The choice in this matter is also to belong to the sovereign, i.e. the nation itself. However, it seems that the system that is more favorable for the nation in each historical period should be used. Cultural and religious conditions must also be considered here. It is certainly not a beneficial and right solution to impose democracy by force, e.g. on societies that are mentally unprepared for it (for example, there are many Muslim countries where there is a strong need for strong, strong-armed governments, but democracy has not worked and will not work for a long time, e.g. Arab countries). It is worth taking a brief look at the history of Polish nationalism. The national camp claimed that the state should be strong in external relations, but "weak" in terms of grass-roots social activity - activity towards the neighborhood, parish, city, industry and corporate community - or towards the broadly understood small homeland. Of course, we can discuss for a long time and passionately whether after World War I and 123 years of partitions we were ready to take on such a challenge - whether we as a nation were not too disintegrated and the lands were too fragmented. An additional problem was posed by strong national minorities, at least two of which (in their political layer), German and Ukrainian, were interested in liquidating the state and had developed tools for this purpose. In turn, the Jewish minority - closed to the development needs of the folk layers of the Polish nation - became competitive and anti-modernization for Poles, which in the conditions of economic crisis gave rise to conflicts. But today, in 2012, it is the National Democrats' vision of self-government that seems to me to be a particularly acceptable part of this formation's heritage. The first generation of nationalists - Roman Dmowski, Zygmunt Balicki, Jan Ludwik Popławski - undoubtedly also had democratic sensibility. The first party representing the national camp, established in 1897, was called the Democratic-National Party, not by accident. This democratism arose from the need to build a modern nation, also encompassing broadly understood folk classes. To this should be added Dmowski and his colleagues' admiration for the West - and their experience of contact with democracy in France and Great Britain. Nationalists had no doubt that independent Poland would adopt a republican system [Żaryn 2019]. To sum up this point, it should be said that Polish nationalism in its tradition, among its "founding fathers", had a decidedly pro-democratic attitude (in most of them, except perhaps the more radical Falanga). It should also be mentioned that most nationalists are etatists when it comes to the state's position in external relations and anti-etatists when it comes to internal relations. They were supporters of strong self-government and grassroots organization. To this day, it seems that most Polish nationalists follow the same path as they “fathers”.

Rights of national minorities? Absolutely yes, but only according to the principle of reciprocity and retaliation under public international law. For example, in Germany there is a large Polish diaspora deprived of the rights of a national minority. Poland, on the other hand, is inhabited by a much smaller German community, which has a minority status. In this context, it should be noted that the privilege given to the German minority under Polish electoral law does not correspond to any comparable privilege for Poles who are citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany. Moreover, Poles - German citizens are not granted the status of a national minority, and the German state pursues an assimilation policy towards them [Sewastianowicz 2022]. Polish nationalism is consistent with what the UN Subcommittee on Combating Discrimination and Protection of Minorities lists - three rules underlying the regulation of minority problems:

1. a minority cannot demand special privileges or a better status in society,

2. a minority may not exercise freedom of religion and the right to its own cultural life in a way that violates the same rights of others,

3. minority activities may not violate public order [Paterek 2001].

Building your own power from the inside (a strong army and force structures - but not for a police state, the police must finally start playing the same role as it does in the West - auxiliary, not excessively punitive). It's about socializing the police. Therefore, the demand of some nationalists is for the police and other uniformed services to be placed under civilian supervision. It is not about the supervision of the ministry, parliament or a special unit of the police or the Internal Security Agency. It would be like a thief being controlled by another thief to prevent him from stealing. This is primarily about the supervision of people who, through specific structures - local syndicates, could easily supervise the proper performance of duties by the services. When these formations were handed over to local governments, it was not particularly troublesome.

Units of such services would also be paid from municipal budgets and their structure would be horizontal, i.e. it would be based on a network of cooperation between equivalent units which, if necessary, establish a common crisis team and nothing more. Specific units may use the municipal criminological laboratory and specialized groups of officers. The overarching principles would remain decentralism, localism, and social control.

It is equally important that specific officers relate to the place where they serve and with the people for whom they do their work. So, it's about the so-called "socialization" of uniformed services [Ćwik 2021]. Work at the grassroots (education, education and even once education of the masses in the spirit of Polish national values, love for one's own nation and homeland, culture, tradition, customs, and religion) and work organically for the benefit of the entire nation, instead of placing laborious hopes in alliances [Gloger 2017].

When it comes to hatred, whether racial, religious, or otherwise, there can be no consent on the part of a nationalist. This should categorically be included as a commandment in the nationalist's decalogue. The main enemy - cosmopolitanism in the broad sense - cannot be obscured by minor inter-national conflicts. You must not harass anyone or use violence in any way. Respecting the views of others does not mean agreeing with them. Constructive criticism encouraged. Nationalism should therefore be identified with a social attitude which - due to its respect for the human person - may be positive or negative. This belief is shared and justified by Stanisław Kowalczyk, who claims that: "Positive nationalism, i.e. moderate and ethically unquestionable, means pride in one's national origin, love of the homeland, respect for one's history, development of national culture, etc. Such nationalism may combine with the Christian idea of love for one's neighbour” [Grott 1996]. In practice, the Christian (personalistic) version of nationalism is the result of accepting the Christian worldview as one's own and being guided by its principles (Christian ethics), which is tantamount to depriving a given social or political structure of the status of an absolute being. A good erist is one who throws arguments like aces up his sleeve and can keep his emotions in check. Anti-globalism and euroscepticism (towards the EU in its current form) should be an additional driving force for good nationalism. Generally, nationalists postulate the construction of Europe based on Nations which, within the framework of the politically, economically, and economically independent state they have created, strive to develop their culture, and on the international level, establish mutual relations based on voluntary cooperation and bringing mutual benefit. At the same time, they contribute to the largest natural human association, which is civilization. It is the Latin Civilization that should unite Europe into a spiritual whole, because only in this way will the independent functioning of its components, i.e. national cultures, be preserved. The European Union is trying to unite Europe, but it will not achieve it because it is filled with people from different civilizations and cultural backgrounds. It is impossible to bring order where there are people of different faith, ethics, or morals. The EU is just an artificial creation that constitutes a foreign growth on the European body, which inevitably leads to its death. [Trzecia Droga: Antyglobalizm]. The EU as Europe of Homelands is the most common view of Polish nationalists when it comes to this topic.

Capitalism or socialism? This also depends on nationalists, who are not a homogeneous environment. As you can read in one of the portals run by Polish nationalists: "As nationalists, we fight for the good of the entire nation, not just individuals whose wealth is higher than that of most members of the national community. We understand and respect their contribution to the development of our country, but we cannot forget about the employee wage earner, without whom our state and economy cannot function. Nationalists should look for the best possible alternative to the capitalist system, and not come to terms with it. The economic system in a country ruled by nationalists should be based on the even economic development of the state and, consequently, comes the well-being of society. We cannot allow capitalism to continue to sow confusion and cancer on the body of the national idea. Our goal is to liberate everyone from the yoke of the capitalist-liberal junta, which seeks to deepen social stratification and sow subconscious hostility towards a member of the same nation. National solidarism should be the basis of our idea, and therefore should condition hostility towards its factors (i.e. nation) hostile. Therefore, let us remember that only through joint work will we achieve the development of our state and nation, and not through constant speculation and distortion of facts about capitalism, which is supposedly the only correct alternative” [Titz 2021]. Also, the radicalism of the Falanga concept and the proposals for socio-political changes in the spirit of statism and illiberalism brought this group ideologically closer to other organizations that, like ONR, raised the demand for the reconstruction of the demoliberal system. [Sawczak 2010]. According to the author of this work, it is certainly not good for only one or the other to happen (capitalism vs. socialism). On the one hand, capitalists are a narrow group of those who have money and invest it, often taking advantage of the too low salaries of their own employees. On the other hand, socialism is a kind of, which must be called by its name, distribution of society's own money (from taxes), not necessarily fairly. A nationalist can be either a moderate: a capitalist or a socialist, a liberal or a conservative. Although it seems that in fact a large part of contemporary Polish nationalists still seems to be anti-capitalists.

No one should be forced to adopt nationalism. This will only discourage people. However, it needs to be shown and taught to society, preferably by example, through everyday attitudes. Nationalism needs to be matured. It cannot be achieved through revolution, only gradual evolution, ripening like some fruit, is able to create in a person the feeling of being a nationalist, a good nationalist. Therefore, one can become a nationalist only through an independent and sovereign decision.

Nationalism must be distinguished from cosmopolitanism and internationalism in everything that is good. Don't be aggressive, don't impose yourself, conduct real dialogue, teach values. Nationalism is the basis of what is national. Strictly the foundation of Polishness and Catholicism in these lands and respect for history and tradition. That is why the general face of nationalism is conservatism. Although, of course, there are different trends within nationalist ideology, such as the mentioned conservative one, but also the libertarian one. Some will also be more socialists, other capitalists. Being a nationalist is not so much a theory as it is a practice.

Currently, an interesting phenomenon is nationalist straight edge, which is particularly popular in post-Soviet countries, where "the degree of social degeneration has reached a level exceeding that of the countries of the rotten West" - as can be read in Dziennik Narodowo-Radykalny Nacjonalista.pl. "In this way, a specific cultural movement was created rejecting stimulants and promoting sports and a healthy lifestyle. A few musical bands gathered around him, stylistically performing various types of hardcore. All, of course, under the well-known and popular symbol of the Celtic cross” [Płociński 2018].

The straight edge subculture is divided by various divisions, but generally it is about limiting the use of stimulants. The so-called hardline, i.e. sXe in its most radical and ecological form, goes much further: it advocates the complete rejection of all psychoactive substances, even tea, as well as veganism, the fight for animal rights and living in harmony with nature. Additionally, which may surprise many in such a juxtaposition, it condemns sexual promiscuity, abortion, homosexuality, pornography, and masturbation - as inconsistent with the natural order of things. It is therefore an ideology of physical and mental health and, at the same time, restrictive morality.

Stormtroopers and radicals close to them, calling themselves "autonomous nationalists", are the Polish version of a movement that researchers of political thought are increasingly calling "identitarians" (from the French: identitaire - identity). How to reconcile different nations and their interests? Modern nationalism replaced national egoism with the so-called ethnopluralism, which talks about respect for other national identities and the right of each national community to develop freely in its own country. But this "anti-chauvinism" operates only within the framework of European civilization, or the white race. Arkadiusz Meller believes that autonomous nationalists should not be associated with the Polish national movement at all, because they are rather a European socio-political movement. - We are dealing with a new quality that is the result of nationalism, anarchist (left-wing) and subcultural elements. Moreover, Polish "autonomous nationalists" distance themselves from the native national organizations from the times of the Second Polish Republic, considering these issues as "antiquarian" and incompatible with modern times. They are more interested in the history of European nationalist movements than native traditions - he told the Fronda.pl portal. Autonomists themselves reject the archaic - as they claim - division into right and left [Płociński 2018].

And ecology? The nationalist organization Radical Południe from Bielsko-Biała boasts on its website of garbage collection campaigns in the surrounding forests (as proof, it posts photos of stout peasants in balaclavas posing among trees over bags full of garbage), collections for shelters for homeless animals and a protest in Jaworzno to stop the use of animals in circuses: "Let us not be convinced that nationalism should be separated from ecology and care for the Earth. We are aware that there are many much more important problems, yet caring for Nature remains an important postulate. The action will certainly be repeated” [Płociński 2018].

 

Conclusions

The key elements of nationalist identity are therefore based on negation and are built in opposition to the current socio-political system. Components these confirm the strictly anti-modernist nature of the movement, based on the concept homogeneity of the nation in opposition to multicultural trends. Four of the five elements found in most curriculum texts, again are consistent with anarchist concepts (although defined differently): anti-globalization, anti-capitalism, anti-imperialism, opposition to the European Union. A different element is the opposition to immigration. References of nationalist circles to the concept of natural law, as fundamental constitutive element of the nation, result from references to religious rhetoric. Religious symbolism, strongly correlated with the conservative worldview, is an integral element of nationalist identity. In fact, far-right circles are not numerous, although they can mobilize ranks of people who are not permanent participants in movements nationalistic. A small number does not mean a weak influence on current social discourses. This is especially visible in Poland, where ideological the war on the Polish right is polarizing the conservative electorate, and nationalist circles are ennobled as models of patriotism. It is also impossible not to notice correlation between extreme right circles and football fan groups. Nationalist symbolism is a permanent element of stadium reality [Pielużek 2012].

It is also impossible not to notice correlation between extreme right circles and football fan groups. Nationalist symbolism is a permanent element of stadium reality. Polish nationalism, which refers to the tradition of the pre-war National Democrats (Narodowa Demokracja), does not have a clear representation in the Polish parliament in the form of a political party. Previously, the League of Polish Families (Liga Polskich Rodzin), later the National Movement (Ruch Narodowy), quickly left the political scene. Some members of the National Movement joined the Confederation party (Konfederacja), which, however, is not an anti-capitalist or national party in the strict sense. It is rather a party that brings together people with various right-wing views, mainly on economic issues, but also on ideological issues. Some politicians with nationalist tendencies can also be seen in the party that was in power in Poland in 2005-2007 and then 2015-2023 - Law and Justice (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość). Thus, nationalism in Poland is more manifested in organizations such as Młodzież Wszechpolska, Falanga or Obóz Narodowo-Radykalny (ONR). Nationalism in Poland has no real support for the country's fate. Therefore, now it does not constitute any possible threat to democracy.

Moreover, if nationalism is as described in this article, i.e. not against anyone, but while maintaining its own tradition, culture, language, and overall identity, it will accept the European Union at least as the Europe of Homelands, it will not deny rights to national minorities, it will respected democracy and operated within its framework, it will not be a problem and, according to the author, an added value in Polish and European socio-political life.
