National socialist extremism is a taboo subject in Poland

Nature may give illustrations unexpected and unwanted by local elites. Polish aspirations for EU- capital of culture as ilustrated by local folk

Such pictures are mainly hastily hidden- that no one "in the West" would see them. Poland is a country of hidden violence. Neo-national socialist groups are so numerous, that even I have problems- recently was atacked by a neonazi when sitting on the bench and chatting with friends. Someone of friends of my friends had neonazi friends, they came by and greeted each others with the slogan "hail nationalist socialism''.

In Polish countryside radical ideologies exist, but are hidden and not debated. Extremism become a taboo subject, hidden from debate by corrupted media and power elites. Football hooligans, here portrayes, also represent radical ideologies. It is this peer group that is seen as connected with these ideologies. In Polish football there are no other ideological trewnds. We do not have anything like more centrist fans of some German football teams.

We've had a fair few polish Nazis and racists come over to England. I have personally witnesseds racist abuse against somebody for being black and others have reported attacks on gyspsy traveller sites. Even on the radio last year I heard a Polish worker call the English lazy, quite happily buying into the racist classist myths put out by landowners and corporates. Serves the bastards right that there is now a crimewave of tractors ( and livestock ) and other farm equipment being stolen on low-loaders to take out of the country. I would point out that these business people want to exploit the East Europeans as they did us and use them to drive down already shite wages. The attacks on gypsies and other travellers by the state is the other side of the coin and led to a shortage of farmworkers too ( as well as getting ripped off by agri-business and obviously being booted out of the countryside into sink estates by the landed gentrym, middle class commutong middle england and class traitor bailiffs and the like ) .
