POLITYKA SPOŁECZNA W MYŚLI POLITYCZNEJ NARODOWEGO ODRODZENIA POLSKI, POLSKIEJ WSPÓLNOTY NARODOWEJ-POLSKIEGO STRONNICTWA NARODOWEGO I OBOZU NARODOWO-RADYKALNEGO

The following organisations can be considered representatives of national extremism in Poland after 1989: a) The National Rebirth of Poland, b) The Polish National Community-Polish National Party, c) The National Radical Camp. They have been categorised as being national extremist as they meet the following criteria: 1) the rejection of democracy and the concept of civil society, 2) the negation of the political system transformation model implemented after 1989, 3) the approval of violence as a means to the alternation of power, 4) the pursuit of a new political order which is treated as a model to which there is no alternative, 5) the presence in political thought of countercultural and nativistic elements, 6) the acceptance of integral Catholicism, 7) the use of a distinctive and individual vocabulary, 8) the use of original symbols. In the case of national extremist groups we can only talk about a social policy that is postulated and in the concept phase where there are no possibilities of implementing its objectives.
