The recordings from the bizarre celebrations of the birth of Adolf Hitler and the concerts 
organized by the extreme right-wing communities revealed by TVN only show a small part of 
the problem, which is the acceptance of hate-based, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, 
misogynist and racist views. ---- Paying homage to a criminal who is at the head of the 
regime responsible for the destruction of the Jewish and Roma people, millions of victims 
of all sexes, nationalities and views are an aberration that deserves only condemnation. 
---- For the anti-fascists and anti-fascists, the links between the extreme right and 
those holding public office are not new. Representatives of neo-fascist, extreme 
nationalist and Nazi organizations, among others Roberto Fiore and Tommy Robinson visit 
the Sejm on the invitation of MPs, they go in the March of Independence and speak at 
conferences organized by right-wing fanatics.

The Polish school does not teach understanding of the dangers of far-right ideologies. 
Unfortunately, some schools are open to cooperation with organizations that refer to 
pogrom traditions, bench ghettos and persecution of the left. That is why members and 
members of the National Radical Camp take part in school celebrations, organize lectures 
and encourage students to join the ONR ranks.

On the other hand, the Polish school teaches the "symmetry" between fascism and 
"communism", the latter concept treating as a sack, to which you can throw in everything 
that does not fit the power at the moment and its extremely primitive, incompetent 
ideologues. Those who use the pages of the right-wing press, television and internet 
services produce lampooners imitating historical journalism. Sometimes they argue that 
"Hitler was a leftist," and sometimes that in 1939 Poland should have stood alongside the 
Nazis and invaded the Soviet Union. In this way, a subsoil is formed for the development 
of beliefs based on lies, hatred and ignorance.

So what should anti-fascism be today? Is it just an expression of a generally fair 
opposition to dressmakers enjoying a cake decorated with swastika from wafers in the 
forest? Above all, he should be a daily struggle for justice and equality and resistance 
to discrimination and right-wing violence. Resistance should be directed both at the 
activities of organizations that spread hatred and the practices of institutions that 
allow them to develop and repress anti-fascists and anti-fascists. It should be 
unambiguous and loud "no" for shameful activities such as the cooperation of NSZZ 
"Solidarnosc" with ONR. The extreme right has always been and will always be the enemy of 
people fighting for workers' rights. She was in the Third Reich, Franco's Spain, in the 
years of military dictatorships in Latin America, she is in the United States today.

Faszyzm to przede wszystkim nierównosc, dominacja silniejszych nad slabszymi - rodzi sie 
na gruncie hierarchicznych relacji. Zyjac w kraju, w którym tolerowane sa ruchy wzywajace 
do nienawisci w kazdej chwili mozna zostac tym pogardzanym "innym". Codzienna wspólna 
walka o równosc to jedyna szansa na godne zycie. Nie wlozycie do garnków homofobicznych, 
transfobicznych i islamofobicznych tekstów demagogów, a lektura antysemity Romana 
Dmowskiego nie zdejmie z Was ciezaru, jakim jest beznadziejna praca za grosze na 
smieciówce. Z kolei zwiazkowcy i zwiazkowczynie nie dadza sie zastraszyc manipulacjami 
"dekomunizacyjnymi".

Anti-fascist circles have been fighting with the extreme right for years. We are 
organizing marches, we are blurring racist inscriptions on walls that are ignored by state 
services, we defend weaker ones. We hope that thanks to the storm caused by the material 
of TVN, more people will notice the threat and start combating it with us.

Enough social acceptance for the extreme right! Pretty state protection for racists and 
neo-fascists! Fascists off our schools, universities, streets and districts!
