Those of us who remember the era of the Polish People's Republic and its determination by communist totalitarianism – or those younger ones who have gained quite a few cognition about it – realize what fear is as an instrument not only to discipline society, but besides to form a fresh man – homo sovieticus.
The work devoted to the anthropology of this socio-political utopia repeats the definition of the period of its implementation, which runs from the Bolshevik Revolution to the dissolution of the russian Union, an era of large fear. And it was not metaphysical fear, caused by factors from human will and human ontic position independent – specified as the finite existence and inevitability of death, innocent suffering and wine, cataclysms in nature etc. It was a fear determined geopolitically, socially, economically, civilizationally. Fear of power and ideologists of utopia, against whom opposition threatened with repression – from prison and occupation failure to death sentence.
Violence and lying were the basic instruments for causing fear in society, whose aim was, above all, to paralyze the will and thoughts of both a single man and the full community. This mechanics of choking freedom was presented on the example of a literary-artistic environment Czesław Miłosz In The Enslaved Mind. The author, however, did not come to a clear conclusion that by enslavement of the head the communist power sought to form a fresh man, the goal of his utopian anthropology.
A fresh Age of Fear
The decade-long discredit of communism as a dehumanizing utopia and totalitarianism as a way of ruling in its name has been officially sealed with a pierestroika Mikhail Gorbachev, liberating the socialist bloc society from fear and ideological-political lie. Password written in 1974 by Aleksandra Solzenicin The manifesto Not surviving a lie has become a reality. The Polish people had a large share in the fight, organizing themselves in a peaceful army of multimillion-dollar Solidarity, which had the courage to challenge the usurpation of communist power to the government of our souls.
Being participants of these transformations, Poles were convinced that "we have come to independence" – liberation not only from the political yoke of Yalta, but besides from the vital to our national identity and civilization-cultural burden of communism: ideological-political lies and fear as an instrument of power. We were convinced that by becoming part of the collective West – under the name of NATO, the EU and the US as a global hegemon – we would accomplish not only the well-being of its societies and a sense of security, along with the warrant of peace, but besides freedom from the erstwhile fear of power. Fear of power separated from the nation, which was forced by communist propaganda to attribute its attributes of mystery, wonder and authority—as its image aptly grasped Mikhail Heller in the book Machine and screws. How the russian man got tough.
The elected in democratic elections were to be a denial of the communist model, the incarnation of the servant of the nation – only Polish, no other. Decisions on matters of Poles and Poland were to be rational, clear, focused on our national intere. This was the phase of expectations for incarnation into Western structures, accompanied by widespread social and cultural westernization. erstwhile we have become members of NATO and the EU and “sustainers” – the US, we should be relieved, satisfied with our political success and benefit from it – due to the fact that there is no uncertainty that any can be calculated.
However, it concerns the state of the minds of the Polish society, determined by the fear of Russia and the war threatening us with it. And it is not just the reaction of Poles to the war in Ukraine. After all, we belong to a full and safe – as part of the Natov guarantees – Western, to which Ukraine, destroyed by the war, only aspires. So why do Poles fear Russia and war with it? The answer is simple: due to the fact that their fear is fueled by power and related opinionative and media environments. They're scaring us due to the fact that it's easier for frightened people to regulation and unscrupulously spend their taxes on unthinkable armaments. So we constantly hear about drones attacking us from Russia, rockets, arsonists of our country, planned terrorist actions and, of course, almost everyday cyber attacks. All these hostile actions are presented as Russian, even erstwhile there is evidence of their Ukrainian origin. So we are dealing with a fresh version of communist propaganda, based on lies and an instrument of fear. However, this fresh version of the disciplining propaganda society is not a Polish invention.
Geopolitical Terror
Polish decision-makers have only become servants of the geopolitical Western leaders with each US president in the lead. The speciality of the second is the sowing of global fear of their hegemonic function and the “unconquered power” which the American war effort in the mediate East was to bear witness to and support for Ukraine. And in 1 case and another, “the invincible power” is supported by Nazi regimes: Ukrainian neobanderism and Israeli Zionism. Is that why America was patronizing the birth of rusophobia – the largest in Poland – to make the West believe in a threat greater than these 2 Nazi regimes? Washington's policy of fresh years has pointed to that. According to her option, Russia is simply a threat to Europe and the world. It is not increasing more and more, supported by the US, by the Nazis mentioned. We are to fear Russia and arm it with war, while we support the Nazis.
In this case, it is crucial to support Ukraine and Israel, as shown by their German regimes, where we hear the Nazi reverberation in the statements of any AFD politicians. The German authorities have taken to heart the American calls – and unfortunately, the Polish ones – for increased investments in armaments and decided to make their army the top power in Europe. So if the Ukrainian government survives and Germany achieves its intended goal – Russia will not be a real threat to Poland, but a Ukrainian-German alliance built on the programme of techno-fascists from Palantir Technologies – the largest of the existing digital corporations. Her bosses – Alex Karp and Peter Thiel (photo) – they proclaim openly the construction of a fresh planet order based on artificial intelligence and military strength. At the same time, they call for the "forceful pacifism" of Germany and Japan imposed on them as losers in planet War II. As if there were small American president of the slogan of his current word America First attempts to broadcast a metaphysical dimension, speaking of her global mission and her selection by Providence. However, this "mission" raises disbelief and weakens America's fear of Russia. The Iranian version of this "mission" makes us aware that although normalization – legalization – of propaganda lies reached an apogee in the West, it did not delegalize the fact that will always find its defenders. The U.S. Missionary Image, which president Trump announced would wipe Iran out of the ground in the name of bringing “justice” to the mediate East, was destroyed. Iran did not fear this historical mission of America and resisted it, setting an example of how to fight not only its military advantage, but besides its propaganda lie. Fears of Iran proved to be terrible.
The fear Trump wanted to break this ancient nation is not a metaphysical fear described, among others, by Soren Kierkegaard in the Treaty Disease to death whether at work Max SchelerSuffering. Death, life. specified fear forces us to reflect on the position of our existence, on our connections with the origin of all existence; it allows us to realize the essence of our limitations, crushes all self-poverty. With specified fear, fortunately, no authority, no peculiar services, no propaganda, nor any Palantir can manage. .
This fear that the Atlanticians and collective globalists manage The West is in fact a fear not of us, but of their “here and now.” To keep their power over us and their peculiar advantages. It is simply a fear of preserving their prosperous intellectual feudalism, consisting in keeping our minds in enslavement by lies of the pro-American, pro-Banderian or pro-Israeli propaganda, and at the same time imposing dehumanizing rusophobia on us, which transforms into a form of collective western Nazism.
Target of intimidation
Ideologists and politicians of the collective West – Atlanticists and globalists with the banner of liberalism – accomplish not only geopolitical but besides civilization-cultural goals through intimidation of societies. The fear of Western citizens has become an effective means of incapacitating them in terms of ideas and values. Feared by the spectra of the war with Russia, people do not verify the scenarios of this war imposed on them by propaganda and agree to the unprecedented military race of their taxes. They take no work for these scenarios or for this race. Western citizens have been transformed by the instrument of fear into infantile individuals, for whom the destiny of the authorities implementing plans to discredit ourselves before our eyes transatlanticism and global liberalism.
These authorities forget 1 thing: a man is capable not only of overcoming fear in acts of courage, but besides of heroism, in which he devotes his "here and now" in the name of what surpasses it. They forget that there will always be those among us – mortals – who are highly hard to scare. In each generation, and at all times, there are fearless ones who not only exposure the fact about the nature of the mechanics that intimidates us, but besides can identify ways to counter those who manage it – politicians, financiers, media.
Communist anthropology was highly negative and besides utopian. She has raised the concept of a man cut off from Transcendence, one-dimensional, weak, incapable to exceed his limitations and to specified freedom, whose inherent attribute is responsibility. She has developed a concept that involves the instrument of fear. This anthropological experimentation failed. In the people of the erstwhile socialist bloc, the longing for transcendence, the desire for freedom and the will to bear for its consequences of work prevailed. These are the attributes of our humanity. This is an anthropology lesson we have been going through in the fresh past. There is 1 correct conclusion: any effort to recapture in the modern version of the fresh man's concept – utilizing the instrument of fear and utilizing the latest technology, artificial intelligence and all services – is besides doomed to failure.
