Sharp, do you have anything which would substantiate the notion that such workshops were available to the clueless rural youth you're championing, that the average salary is now below 500zl (parts would be cheaper in Poland, anyway), and that Polish society lacks upward mobility? On this last point, I can ask my uncle how things went as he moved from selling TV remotes off a blue cot at the stadium to running a profitable electronics partnership and owning a large, marble-filled home (the new rich, and their wives, especially, have no sense of taste).

Ask your averagen Solidarity leader. He will claim it was a fight for the liberty from the beginning to the end. (if he ever stops his luxury car to answer your question). Ask average member and he will tell you "everyone was told we will be free and rich. I piss at this freedom, look how poor we are! - and he will point at his starving family.

I can ask at least TWO former Solidarity members right now, and they'll say it was about liberty. That's why they came to the US.

when suddenly many perfectly legal things get forbidden, when under flags of "liberty" our country kisses ass of yet another empire, when people are finally free to bitch at the government, but simultaneously they lost their freedom to have a decent life.

So you plan to cut off your nose to spite your face? Plenty of people are living a decent life, arguably many many times better than in other Eastern European countries (just look at the average monthly income), and international involvement is a much a Western import as your familiar leftist fear-mongering.
