David Ost on the corrosion of Solidarnosc values in Poland

In an interview with Jacek Zakowski, US political scientist and Poland expert David Ost of the Hobart and William Smith Colleges, talks about the corrosion of the values of the Solidarnosc freedom movement and the triumph of anti-liberal forces in Poland: "Human emotions don't just disappear when you ignore them. They gather force and sooner or later they find an outlet in politics. The drama in Poland and most of the countries of Eastern Europe is that the rationalist liberal intellectuals have yet to grasp this, and the increasingly radical and blatantly irrational right is exploiting this... The group that came to power after 1989 was liberal - in the truest sense of the word. It was committed to economic and political liberalism but was unable to deal with the growing signs of violent class hate."
