From the editorial board: We did not initially intend to give more publicity to the polemics between Magdalena Ziętek-Wielemska and Adam Wielomski and Konrad Gęsce and Przemysław Piasta, although we published in the paper edition a comprehensive text by Mrs Wielomska (No. 1-2/2023) and an answer by Przemysław Piasta.
Since the arguments of both parties have already been clearly outlined, we have decided not to proceed this discussion. This is another comprehensive text by Mrs. Wielomska, full of not only substantive arguments, but besides offensive wordings, megalomanic bloatings (recognition as "last endeks"), innuendos and conspiracy theories, which are not suitable for discussion and the polemics of Prof. Adam Wielomski with Przemysław Piasta. However, due to the fact that our erstwhile publicists began to spread their thoughts on the net – on second thought we decided to print the text of Prof. Wielomski together with the text of Przemysław Piasta. For example, due to the fruitful, long-term cooperation so far.
We admit that we should give the level to Prof. Wielomski immediately. However, we do not intend, due to the level, to disseminate Mrs Wielomska's text, for the reasons already stated. We note that the decision to halt publishing in our pages was made by the Wielomski State itself, not us. We do not enter into what the actual motives of this decision are, although we can guess. We never censored their texts, they appeared without our interference, which is consistent with the editorial practice of our writing. Below are lyrics by Przemysław Piasta and Adam Wielomski:
Who's the real endek?
With a certain amount of amuse, I was looking at the polemic which, in the pages of our weekly magazine, the Wielomskis (sympathetic people) fought with no little sympathetic editor Konrad Węsem.
The subject of these intellectual struggles was the work of Alexander Dugin, so the subject was not peculiarly interesting to me. However, in her latest text, Magdalena Ziętek-Wielkomska was kind to refer, in an highly critical speech to the editorial line of our weekly magazine. Hence, I felt invited to this conversation.
At the beginning of her polemic, Mrs. Wielomska rightly pointed out the usage of col. The hand of a cunning eristic grasp, in the form of attributing to the Adversary something he did not do. After that she decided to usage this trick creatively, attributing the Polish thought to the alleged “dugism”. By creating in her imagination thesis, she heroically dealt with it on respective pages of the typescript, which is fun at least twice. First of all, due to the apparent caliss of this attitude – if individual is utilizing the rudimentary tricks below the belt towards the Wieloms, it is simply a very bad deed, and if it is done by the Wieloms, it is simply a very good deed. Secondly, the best proof of the absurdity of the argument is alone... As well as the “dugination” could be accused of Polish “multimization”. Even to a greater extent, due to the fact that we print the Wielomskie texts much more than the Dugin texts. decades ago, we realized that publishing an environmental newsletter did not make sense. Therefore, Think Poland has become a kind of “agora”. A forum for exchanging ideas and views, not necessarily consonant. For the past fewer years, I have had the impression that the Multi-States realize this expression and feel good about it.
By the way, I find it interesting to consider Mrs. Wielomski's heroic fight against duginistic windmills? There might be any answers. However, it seems that the main nonsubjective of the author here is to separate herself from the views that have been preached not long ago, by Prof. Adam Wielomski. Anyone who follows Polish political publishing very briefly associate the character of a prof. with the word “katechon”, utilized repeatedly against Vladimir Putin. In fresh months, I have had the impression that Adam Wielomski’s views on the subject have changed considerably. You're right. Not only does Wielomski have the right to verify the 1 of his views, which he considers to be wrong, but as a reliable scientist he has the duty. In contrast to digging up positions in advance, this requires a considerable amount of civilian courage. However, it is hard to deny the right to change his head to the Multi-Male. Otherwise, associations with the sympathetic black Kali will impose on us again.
Paradoxically, however, over the charge of "dugination" I could decision on to the agenda. For the sake of his grotesque even renaissance. On this, however, criticism of our periodical and the environment, in the issue of Mrs. Ziemek-Welomska, does not end. On respective pages of the typescript, in a dense Teutonic style, the prof. scolds us and instructs us, like a group of students. In my first instinct, I was moved. due to the fact that who is Magdalena Ziętek-Welomska to set standards for people associated with the national camp for decades to teach and scold them? To find what is simply a canon of national thought. To specify who's the endex and who doesn't deserve to be named.
My pen was breaking into a polemic. To the ruthless and methodical scoring and ridicule of subsequent adversaries arguments. But I stopped in half a word. due to the fact that I realized I was actually feeling... jealous. I would like to go back a fewer decades and be a young man again who read Dmowski's first books with baking on his face, starting the most beautiful of intellectual adventures. How much religion there was in me back then. How assured that I have reached the truth. That I know all the answers, of course, far more, better and more truly than anyone else. It is this freshness, this unwavering certainty of my reason that I envy Magdalena Ziętek-Welomska.
Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever. After the first euphoria comes critical reflection. The clear black and white planet takes on half a shadow and gray. Even those from the writings, which to this day undoubtedly constitute the foundation of our perception of the essence of the nation and its interest, we begin to perceive in a circumstantial context: historical, political and even personal. Simple answers begin to appear to be truisms. We place more complex answers on them. Good. If being an adept of the school of Dmowski were to be reduced to the literal duplication of the hundred-year-old master, it would be intellectually completely idle. Then Mr. Roman's best pupil would not be, contrary to his own belief, Magdalena Ziętek-Welomska, and any photocopier.
At the end of this short discussion, 1 more reflection. Ms Magdalena Ziętek-Wielomska puts herself together with her spouse in the function of "last endeks". She's not the first. Rafał Ziemkiewicz announced his last endek. An operetta, self-proclaimed “Colonel” Wasiak is besides considered one. And many other, sometimes funny, sometimes sad and most frequently grotesque, usurpator successors of Dmowski. Although everyone is the smith of their fate, it would be simply sad to see the Wielomese matrimony as well.
Przemysław Piasta
Katechon, Dugin and I
In the last issue of “The Polish Thoughts” col. Przemysław Piasta – who is otherwise privately sympathetic – wrote the text “Who is the actual endeek?” in the presumption that he would be a polemic with the text of my wife Magdalene and her criticism of the “dugination” of the magazine, and who besides became a polemic with me.
Well, col. Przemysław Piasta suggests that it is hard to cut my name off from the figure of Alexander Dugin, because, if I realize correctly, I was to borrow from him the thought of Katechon to give him Vladimir Putin. Well, definitely not! It's not from Dugin! Katechon and I and Dugin came from the same author, Carl Schmitt. I have described this problem a long time ago, namely in my book entitled – nomen omen – “In search of Katechon. Political Theology of Carl Schmitt” (Radzimin 2017) and only later did I learn that a Russian ideologist was utilizing it. As far as I know the thought of the Russian ideologist of imperialism, our concept of Katechon is not identical either. Raised in the Orthodox tradition, Dugin draws them not only from Schmitt, but besides from the Byzantine tradition, where the emperor defending Byzantium by the Arabs and then the Turks was portrayed as Katechona. In this tradition it is so clearly affirmative and so it seems to realize this Russian. In my close Western tradition, based on the explanation of Daniel's Prophecy and the mention of the Roman Empire, Katechon is besides a defender of the planet against the Antichrist – identified with a revolution or a fall of the state – but is at the same time a little sympathetic authoritarian leader, a bloody dictator. It is not by chance that Schmitt, in the years of planet War II, recognized Adolf Hitler, who was to defend his people from Stalin, the Red Army and the coming of the apocalypse of Bolshevikism by spilling oceans of blood and committing many war crimes and on civilians. So erstwhile I wrote that Putin is Katechon, I saw in him and a defender of conventional values before the LGBT agenda (I do not retreat from this view) and an authoritarian leader who does not back down from blood transfer erstwhile the interest of the empire requires it, and which we can observe rather well since February 2022 in Ukraine.
Above all, for Alexander Dugin, Katechon is an imperial and sacral leader at the same time. And this is my main charge with the line “Polish Thought”, which has late suffered from “dugination”. The Endeck tradition, which Col. Piasta mentions even in the title of his text, is closely related to the thought of a national state alternatively than the thought of an empire. Our opponents – Russians and Germany – always had imperial tendencies and tried to join Poland or parts of it with their empires.
By agreeing with the col. The fact that 1 should not slave to all quote from Roman Dmowski after almost a 100 years since his death, I believe that 1 must stick to the foundation of his doctrine, and that is the thought of a sovereign national state, alternatively than Poland as part of another's empire. Meanwhile, “Think Poland” has been pushing for a long time the German-Russian imperial vision, which is to be a remedy for the German-Russian imperialism of the American imperialism that is weighing on Warsaw. Dugin is an excellent typical of this concept. Although he is Russian and Russian imperialist to the core, all his education is based on German thinkers, besides imperial. His masters include Carl Schmitt, Friedrich Ratzel, Karl Haushofer, Oswald Spengler and Martin Heidegger. Since the latter, the Russian has besides borrowed the full ontology, so contrary to Catholic ontology, and with Tomism in particular. Therefore, I will repeat my question erstwhile again, from which the full discussion in “Polish Thought” began: what does Dugin gotta do with the Endecian tradition, which is: 1/ closely related to the national state; 2/ Catholic in religion and Latin civilization? Therefore, the question of "real endings" is the most legitimate question: are they Magdalene and Adam Wielomski – supporters of the national state and Latin civilization, or represents it dominant in the "Polish Thought" imperialist and German-Byzantine directions of civilization?
Unfortunately, this is not only my individual doubt, due to the fact that for a long time I have heard from conventional and long-standing readers of “Polish Thoughts” complaining about the duginist and excessively left-wing direction at the same time dominant in the writings. The villains call the writing “Piskarski’s Thoughts”, suggesting that Dr. Matthew Piskorski’s entry into its cracks caused a change of line in the imperial direction on the 1 hand and the left. Without getting active in specified detailed analyses of the individual causes of this metamorphosis – due to the fact that I do not mean to bring ideas to individual ones – it is adequate to confirm that I besides see them. And I don't accept her. I am besides tired of asking readers what happened, and why is this happening? I can't answer them due to the fact that I don't know.
I was besides bored to assure people that even though I published in the pages of “Polish Thoughts”, I am not a duginist, I do not support aggression against Ukraine, which Dugin praises, etc. To be honest, I consider Alexander Dugin a political radical, an extremist, and I do not want to be associated with him very much, especially since I completely disagree with him in almost everything, but criticism of the ideology of globalism, but which I make from completely different positions (national, Catholic and Latin). For this reason, while being kind to the writing itself, I made a decision to halt moving the permanent column I had been moving for many years since fresh Year 2023.
With a national greeting
Adam Wielomski
