(en) Poland, rozbrat: The Supreme Court is not a guarantee of democracy King [machine translation]

Current social protests organized under the motto of the defense of the Supreme Court,
which is supposed to guarantee the existence of democracy in Poland, prompts us to
determine how we feel it acting on our own skin. Significant part of the protests of the
birth of the present democracy is seen in the period of political transformation, when a
multiparty system developed, free media was created, free elections were drafted, the
Ombudsman institution was introduced, and so on. We have witnessed the democratization of
state institutions as well as the implementation of new forms of exploitation and the
breaking up of old forms of organization of the working world. As a result, a typical form
of the capitalist state was established in Poland, In which political democracy occurs
with the dominance of business over employees.
The symbolism of democracy with the capitalist system of exploitation of labor manifests
itself in the development of democratic institutions, coupled with the intensification of
exploitation and social inequalities. On the one hand, after 1989, territorial
self-government has developed, the third sector has been developed, civil rights and
social consultations have been enforced, on the other hand, junk and employment contracts
have been extended, temporary strikes have been reduced, housing resources privatized,
More flexible working time limits, reduced access to health and education services, most
crèches were abolished, etc. As the example of Poland confirms, In capitalism, the
development of institutions guaranteeing the appropriation of workers' work does not
depend on democracy. The trilogue of power, as a guarantee of democracy, does not imply
the granting of tools for self-maintenance to employees, does not imply social control of
the means of production. Therefore, employees must sell their skills to their bosses in
exchange for pay to buy a means of subsistence. In particular, women are suffering from
free-of-charge reproductive work, which is economically dependent on their husbands. The
guarantor of social inequality in capitalism is not having political rights, but
possessing the means of production - machinery, housing, land, etc. - which make it
possible to produce means of subsistence.
Economic relations of exploitation, Which we are forced to do today, do not depend on the
development of political rights. In spite of this, the progress of democracy can in some
respects serve the interests of all social classes - the exploiters as well as the
exploited, the rulers and the ruled. The former, in the framework of democratic
institutions, can develop their careers; these institutions can also guarantee them stable
conditions for business development, while others in the democracy enjoy rights (the right
to court, the right to freedom of speech, freedom of movement, etc.). In PRL. The problem
is that the possession of political rights by workers does not liberate them from
exploitation, because its scale determines their strength in confrontation with the boss,
which is expressed, among others. In the form of economic rights (right to appropriate
working conditions, Right to social security, right to education, etc.). The nature of
these rights, however, is not as universal as in the case of political rights. By
establishing and enforcing economic laws, the state must in each case determine which
interests it represents - employees or business. It is not possible to introduce junk
contracts without worsening the working conditions and wages of hired workers; It is not
possible to create records protecting tenants who would not be prejudiced by tenants; You
can not lower your retirement age without compromising those who benefit from someone
else's work; Work regulations can not be abolished without worsening the conditions. The
shape and enforcement of economic laws primarily depends on the relationship between labor
and capital, How strong influence on state institutions is by workers or business.
Consequently, the current protests with a decidedly "civic" and not "labor" nature,
dominated by liberal and not lay workers, emphasize the importance of political and civic
rights, while at the same time ignoring the fundamental rights. Economic, social and labor
rights, which are ignored during the current protests, are an essential element of
democracy for us. As we know, the question of these workers' rights and democracy in the
workplace is alien to all the political forces that have ruled in this country since 1989,
as well as the social movements that have been their backing. Further social-democratic,
liberal and right-wing governments seek to impose economic coercion in the spheres of
economic life, Which a few years ago was characterized by a certain amount of democracy -
education, culture, housing, public transport, etc. The fundamental problem is not
therefore the restriction of democracy by PiS but its limitation by the capitalist
exploitation system. We do not expect the current demonstrations to head toward the gates
of businesses in order to bring about a democratization of their demoralized monarchy.
It is hard for us to defend a democracy where there may be room for the independent
Supreme Court, but there is no place for economically independent workers. The present
state of democracy in Poland does not guarantee the freedom of masses of women and men who
maintain their own hands and heads. We can only achieve it by fighting for democratic
control over means of production and means of subsistence. Public transport, etc. The main

capitalist exploitation system. We do not expect the current demonstrations to go to the
gates of businesses to bring about a democratization of their demoralized monarchy. It is
