Solidarność

I am enjoying a delicious Polish beer with my wild boar at the European Solidarity Center, and remembering the look on co-workers‘ faces when I used to say words like union, solidarity, organized labor, capitalism, class struggle.

But things do change, and one needs to give credit where it’s due. A couple months ago a high school friend solemnly announced that the Trump Administration had pushed him too far, and he wasn’t going to take it anymore. He was taking action, and felt so strongly about this that he was announcing his stand on Facebook. Yes, he’d given it thought, and he was fighting back. He’d joined the ACLU. For you, Joe, I offer Solidarność via Kieślowski. He’s available streaming on Netflix. That way you can buy something.
