Western leftist blog post -> We need Solidarity

The institution that brought down the Russian-backed regime in Poland wasn't a campaigning group like the ones we have in the anglosphere (and I'm sorry, Marxist-Leninists, but most of what you do in the anglosphere falls into this category). It wasn't a vanguard party, and it wasn't a militant group. It was Solidarnośc, an independent trade union, and there are important structural reasons for why a union was able to do this when nobody else could.

Hmm interesting. Let me look up Solidarnosc. From Wikipedia of all sources:

[Solidarnosc] ”), is a Polish trade union founded in August 1980 at the Lenin Shipyard in Gdańsk, Poland.[1] Subsequently, it was the first independent trade union in a Warsaw Pact country to be recognised by the state.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) transferred around $2 million yearly in cash to Solidarity from 1982 onwards, for a total of $10 million over five years.

Like clockwork lmao
