Liberte World

Liberalism is an idea which (very aptly) renounces social engineering and all sorts of projects of structuring a “perfect” social order. Planning of this kind, even more frequently than economic planning, leads to the enslavement of people; as a matter of fact, it is often linked to regulating economy, results from it or generates it.

I have recently read an interesting article by my friend from editorial office, Dominika Blachnicka, on difficult situation of Palestinians in Israel and Europe (http://liberteworld.com/2012/01/12/why-palestinian-stories-matter-to-me-anyway/). In the article, she shows her wholeheartedness for this national group and she deplores the everyday life practice in Israel. This is most visible near the border with Autonomy’s territory, [...]

Günter Grass wrote a poem. Many extreme left-wing communities in Western Europe will probably love it, but from my point of view, the German poet wrote his own court sentence – he has condemned himself to damnation. Günter Grass wrote about Israel and Iran, about their increasing conflict – the main reason of which is [...]

A big reformer, a friend of Poland and of freedom, a symbol of female emancipation – these are just simple and overused clichés about Margaret Thatcher. The truth about her rule is far more complex. Traditionally, Women’s Day revives the debates that have been forgotten for most of the year. Some of them are trivial [...]

We are over the key moment of primary elections, that is the “Super Tuesday”, when people from ten American states simultaneously vote. Most often, during that day (at the very latest) the decision is actually made who will be nominated for a candidate of their party for the presidential elections. And if not, there remains [...]

During one of the meetings with electors, Rick Santorum bumped into a person who didn’t hide the homosexual orientation and was asked by that person about reasons for which he rejects the possibility of entering into marriage by lesbians and gays. On one hand I liked the reaction of this extreme right-winger but on the [...]

Observing this year’s republican primaries is a considerable pleasure for a democrat. Three first primaries in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina appointed three different winners. The first one, Rick Santorum has very slim chances for the election. He is a classic extreme conservatist, whose main selling point would be his great devotion to religion [...]

The two sides of the ACTA dispute are represented by values that have never before been confronted in such a direct manner. Firstly, we deal with a crucial element of individual freedom, namely: respecting the inviolability of individual’s personal/intimate life. Secondly, we have the property right and its more abstract form of intellectual property and [...]

Activities of the Palikot’s Movement (Ruch Palikota – RP) turned out to be the greatest, but predictable disappointment in politics (from the point of view of the liberal voter) of the last few days of the year. When the position of the group in the pre election polls become strong and especially since entering the [...]

Around what values did liberal parties organize in Europe and historical reasons of institutionalized weaknesses of liberalism in Poland. It seems that the political scene of  Poland has gone through two decades of which the latter is still in progress. The first phase was characterized by a major instability of political parties which were established, [...]
