An attempt to explore this anti-woman, anti-queer, anti-social system:

But why do we blame the brutality of post-communism instead of the brutality of late capitalism?

I wonder how the un-mobilized public is responding, whether the left of center is really being popularly occupied and whether the silenced issues of social justice are now appearing on the political agenda. I am hopeful for Poland and for my country, the U.S., but know that it is a question of action and maintaining the visibility of action, which is not always possible to sustain, as is evidenced now in OWS.

This very problematic international agreement, especially when it comes to the possibility of policing and censoring Internet content, gives politicians (and “experts”!) free rein in reinforcing borders, closing windows to information, and further removing citizens from the democratic equation. No wonder that the protests are so massive in Poland, where the very opposition to the pre-1989 authoritarian regime was built around freedom of speech, self-governance, and social justice. Solidarity 2.0 indeed.
