The American Communist Party condemns the reactionary attack by the “Constitutional Tribunal (TK)” in Poland against Poland’s working people. This illegitimate tribunal has declared the Communist Party of Poland (K) illegal. This is not just an attack on the KPP, but rather an attack on all socialists, communists, trade unionists, and anti-fascists in Poland today. The Polish ruling class, which made this bestial ruling, is composed of EU technocrats and American stooges. The Polish bourgeoisie fear the people of Poland and the legacy of socialism. With the collapse of the Banderite Kiev regime, the weakening of NATO and the EU, the Polish elite are determined to wipe out any real opposition to their rule. The policies of the Polish ruling class, such as austerity and armed backing of Banderites in Ukraine, have hollowed out the Polish economy, led to mass emigration, and presently endanger Poland with a nonsensical, hostile foreign policy towards the Russian Federation. The Polish people have not benefited from the thirty years of bourgeois rule in Poland. The TK attack on the KPP is a direct attack on the working class of Poland and the memory of all Poles who fought against the scourge of Nazism. By equating Nazism and Communism, the Polish regime is in denial of historical truth. Communism defeated fascism on the battlefields of World War II. Poland contributed to this victory with the anti-fascist resistance of the People’s Guard, Jewish Fighting Organization, Polish First and Second Armies, the Polish Workers Party, and the Union of Polish Patriots. Polish troops alongside their Soviet counterparts liberated Berlin in 1945. To equate Communism with Nazism is a disgrace to the memory of those Poles who fought against Nazi Occupation and who defeated fascism in 1945. Hands off the KPP! Long Live the Polish Working Class! International Solidarity!
