    Very good lecture, I need to read the book. Certainly, the REAL role of Wałęsa/Bolek should be discussed

    Thank you, America. Every time free nations struggled, USG was always behind the underdogs. As a Pole I thank America's actions from 1950-1991 through Diplomacy, Intel, Military and of course, RFE or Open source info. USA has always helped Poland; thank you.

      What about traditional values? Are they no longer important for Poles?

      No Democrats are communists but I remember when Republicans pretended to be against fascists, or for family values, or for state’s rights or for moral hazard in economics or against foreign interference in US elections. Nowadays they’re all wretched, castrated Trump sycophants

      @@beeble2003 What on earth are you talking about? Democrats are not communists, I never said what you claim. I clearly said the EXACT OPPOSITE. Read it again. You are talking to an Australian who is on the far left and who studied polisci and wrote on the socialist conferences and the debates of Marx and Bakunin and graduated top 5% of my class. You are not clairvoyant and should not pretend to be. I will go toe to toe with you on political history and the definition of communism any day, you enormous clown.

      @@muttleycrew Ah, it seems I misread your comment. When you wrote "No democrats are communists", I read "No, democrats are communists" (i.e., "You're wrong. Democrats are communists"). I dispute that you _clearly_ said the opposite of what I thought you'd said, as something like "The Democrats are not communists" would have been far clearer. However, I've deleted my original comment, since it was wrong.
