=== [[File:Cball-KOP.png]] Piast Concept ===
===Race and ethnicity===
Piast Concept, or Piast Idea, is named after the Piast Dynasty - one founded by first ruler of united Poland, Mieszko the First. The idea sees medieval kingdom, populated by Polish majority, as great example of Westernization.


This concept was developed by Popławski and adopted by National Democratic movement. Endecja's vision of Poland saw its place on the West, stated Polish state should include mainly lands with Polish majority and wanted Pomerania, Silesia and East Prussia to become parts of Poland.
The National Democrats of the interwar period believe WIP

=== Race and ethnicity ===
Although "Endecja" was inspired by [[File:Darwinist.png]] [[Social Darwinism|Social Darwinist]] tendencies (popular in Europe at the time), it has never displayed [[File:Racism.png]] [[Racial Nationalism|racist]] views. National Democrats defined accepting national duties as main trait of a Pole. Many examples of this idea can be found in one of most famous books by Dmowski "Myśli nowoczesnego Polaka" (Thoughts of a Modern Pole). One of such quotes is:

"I am a Pole - in deeper understanding, this declaration means a lot. I am so not only because I speak Polish, not only because others speaking the same language are spiritually closer to me and much easier to understand, not only because some of my private affairs make me closer to them than to the strangers, but also because apart sphere of my personal, individual life, I also know the collective life of Nation (...)"

Thus, Endecja can be characterized as a [[File:Cultural_Nationalism.png]] [[Cultural Nationalism|cultural nationalist]] movement. Ignorance of national duties, as well as acting against the interests of Poland was the reason why the National Democrats criticized the [[File:Arist.png]] [[Aristocracy|noblemen]] of [[File:Cball-PL.png]] [https://www.polandballwiki.com/wiki/Polish-Lithuanian_Commonwealthball Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth]. "Endecja" also saw polonizing peasants as one of most important goals during the partitions era. Protecting polish culture was one of reasons why "Endecja" opposed uprising and revolutions against partitioners, especially Russia. National Democrats saw the November Uprising as well as January Uprising as disastrous, due to both of them causing Russian repressions against Polish cultural institutions.

=== [[File:Cball-Poland.png]] All-Polishness ===
The concept of All-Polishness was created by Jan Ludwik Popławski. It emphasized need of unity between all Polish lands, then occupied by [[File:Cball-GermanEmpire.png]] [https://www.polandballwiki.com/wiki/German_Empireball Germany], [[File:Habs.png]] [https://www.polandballwiki.com/wiki/Austria-Hungaryball#Relations Austria] and [[File:Cball-Russian_Empire.png]] [https://www.polandballwiki.com/wiki/Russian_Empireball Russia]. One of means to create such unity was developing a movement which will be equality active and influential in all three parts of former Poland. This concept differed [[File:EndecjaPix.png]] Endecja from other movements - [[File:PPS.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|Polish Socialist Party]] was strongest in Russian partition, [[File:Witos.png]] [[Agrarianism|peasant movement]] was mainly active in Austrian partition while [[File:Cdem.png]][[Christian Democracy|Christian Democracy's]] stronghold was Silesia.

Important part of All-Polishness was individual's [[File:Nation.png]] [[Nationalism|connection to whole nation]] and [[File:Community.png]] [[Communitarianism|duties towards it]]. In Popławski's vision all members of [[File:Cball-Poland.png]] the Nation were to [[File:Equality.png]] [https://philosophyball.miraheze.org/wiki/Egalitarianism have equal status,] regardless of their social class.

=== [[File:KSE.png]] Kraków School of Economics ===
Kraków School of Economics, or KSE, was liberal economic school, it was centred around Jagiellonian University. Its disputed how much it was connected to National Democracy movement - some say only few members of school were part of the movement, while others see the school itself as a part of the movement. Another dispute is about who exactly was member of the school - ones see Adam Krzyżanowski, Ferdynand Zweig and Adam Heydel as founders, while others think the founder of school was Włodzimierz Czerkawski, so his students are often counted as members too.

KSE was economically liberal and had ties to [[File:Austrobert.png]] [[Austrian School|Austrian school]]. However, KSE had different opinion on Methodenstreit - preferring empiric approach and deduction, rather than deduction alone. Kraków School supported lowering taxes, freedom of business, rule of law and minimalization of state's economic intervention.

Criticizing economic interventionism, KSE developed three types of anti-statist arguments:

*Economic arguments - profitability of state companies is naturally lower; it is so due to flaws of human nature.

*Political arguments - increasing level of statism limits freedom of the individual, thus can lead to totalitarianism.

*Moral arguments - excessive government intervention can increase criminality due to perceived injustice of law.

The School broke up during World War II and was forgotten after it.

==== [[File:AdamKrzyzanowski.png]] Adam Krzyżanowski ====
Adam Krzyżanowski was Polish economist, profesor at Jagielloniam University and director of the Polish Academy of Learning, often described as [[File:Classlib.png]] [[Classical Liberalism|classical liberal]]. He predicted the Great Crisis and, together with Ferdynand Zweig, he wrote memorandum meant to protect Poland from consequences to the crisis. He translated Thomas Robert Malthus' "An Essay on the Principle of Population".

Even though he was opposed to [[File:Sanacja.png]] [[Social Authoritarianism|sanation's]] [[Regulationism|interventionism]] [[File:Regulationism.png]], he was also member of Sejm from [[File:Authoritarian_Centrism.png]] BBWR party. He left it in 1931 protesting against imprisonment of politicians of opposition. After [[File:Nazi.png]] [[Nazism|German]] aggression, Krzyżanowski was one of intellectuals arrested during ''Sonderaktion Krakau'' and sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp. He was released and returned to Poland. After war, he was again member of Sejm. This time from Democratic Party.

He died in 1963 in Kraków.

==== [[File:Heydel.png]] Adam Heydel ====
Adam Heydel was a Polish economist and supporter of [[File:Econlib.png]] [[Fiscal Conservatism|economic liberalism]]. He criticized [[File:Statist.png]] [[Authoritarianism|statism]] and [[File:Regulationism.png]] [[Regulationism| economic interventionism]], adopting methodology similar to that of [[File:Austrobert.png]] [[Austrian School]]. He was also familiar with views of [[File:Hayek.png]] [[Hayekism|Friedrich von Hayek]]. Heydel was the chairman of National Club in Kraków.

For his criticism of the Sanation government, he was removed from the economics department at the Jagiellonian University. During World War II, he was arrested by SS as part of ''Sonderaktion Krakau.'' Then, he was released due to international pressure. Later, he joined the [[File:Kotwica.png]][[Patriotism|Union of Armed Struggle]] but was arrested by Gestapo. After refusing to sign Volkliste, he was sent to Auschwitz and murdered in a mass shooting.

=== National Egoism ===
Developed mainly by Zygmunt Balicki, idea of National Egoism stated that greater good of the Nation was to be put above morality or ethics. In his 1903 book, titled "National Egoism and Ethics", he wrote: "The Nation, as living organism, has moral right to expand, not only on expense of passive, mindless and socially amorphous elements, but even at the expense of other nations, as long as this expansion is natural and not based on brutal force, coercion and exceptional laws."

The idea was soon adopted by National Democrats, including Dmowski. Propagating the idea, he was critical of [[File:Christy.png]] [[Christian Theocracy|Christian ethics]] seeing it as incompatible with National Egoism. Dmowski saw the idea as being necessary attitude towards international affairs - he saw these as [[File:Darwinist.png]] [[Social Darwinism|Darwinist]] fight, with "strong' nations conquering the "weak' ones.

Balicki's ideas, including National Egoism, were inspiration for ZLN, but rather less important one. National Party further distanced itself from the ideas, with "young faction" fully refusing it. National Egoism was later replaced by [[File:NatCath.png]] [[Religious Nationalism#National Catholicism|Catholic Nationalism]].

=== The Great Poland ===
'''The Great Poland''' was concept created during Partitions' period, it was idea of future character of Polish state. Future Poland was to be made of conscious people, loyal to their nation - way to achieve this was polonizing peasants and propagating nationalist ideas among Polish society. The Great Poland was to include all lands with Polish majority.

==== Incorporation concept ====
'''Incorporation concept''', or incorporationist concept, was idea proposed by Roman Dmowski after First World War. It supported incorporation of many lands into Poland together with assimilation of national minorities. National Democrats preferred [[File:Unitary.png]] [[Centralism|unitary]] and [[File:Cultural_Nationalism.png]] [[Cultural Nationalism|culturally homogeneous]] country.

It opposed [[File:Fed.png]] [[Federalism|federalist]] concept of [[File:Pilsudski.png]] [[Social Authoritarianism|Józef Piłsudski]], which preferred [[File:Multicult.png]] [[Multiculturalism|multicultural state]] over unitary one.

==== Dmowski's Line ====
Dmowski's Line was proposed border of Poland, presented by Roman Dmowski during Paris Peace Conference. Future borders of Poland were to include: Pomerania, Upper Silesia (including Danzig), Warmia and Masuria, Lithuania (with Memel), Podolia, Volhynia, large part of Belarus (including Minsk) and Polesia. The proposal was rejected during the conference.

Dmowski later withdrawn the proposal, during negotiations of peace treaty ending Polish-Bolshevik war.


==History==
==History==
In 1887, group of Polish emigrants gathered in Switzerland and created the Polish League. At first, organisation was [[File:Liberal_Democracy.png]] [[Liberalism|liberal-democratic]] and supportive of uprisings as method to fight partitioners. However, in 1893 league was taken over by young members - among them Roman Dmowski, Jan Ludwik Popławski and Zygmunt Balicki. Then, it was transformed into National League (LN), thus becoming first organisation of new political movement - National Democracy.

===Partitions period===

Three years later, in 1897, members of LN decided to create a party - National-Democratic Party, or SND. The party opposed other Polish movements, like [[File:Leftnat.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|Polish Socialist Party (PPS)]], as it preferred negotiation over revolution as path to, first, autonomy and then independence. Endecja gained seats in parliaments of all three partitioning powers - in Russian State Duma it created Polish Club (dominated by National Democrats); the same was Endecja's situtation in Germany. In 1904, SND was founded in Galicia (Austrian partition) as Democratic-National Party.


During Russian revolution of 1905, Endecja didn't support revolutionaries - on contrary to [[File:Leftnat.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|PPS,]] seeing cooperation with Russian authorities as more beneficial for Polish nation than revolting. [[File:RomanDmowski.png]] Dmowski himself was deputy to State Duma.


===Partitions===
=== World War I ===
During the Great War, national democrats created Polish National Committee (KNP), with headquarters in Warsaw and then Petrograd. KNP supported creation of Puławy Legion - Polish military formation. Legion was dissolved in 1915, while the Committee ceased to exist two years later. Then, Dmowski moved to Paris and recreated the Committee. New KNP supported creation of Blue Army, led by General [[File:JozefHaller.png]] [[Stratocracy|Józef Haller.]]


Committee was recognized by Entente as legitimate representation of Polish nation. Thus, KNP's leaders, Roman Dmowski and Ignacy Jan Paderewski, represented Poland during Paris Peace Conference. Then, Committee recognized authority of Polish government. In 1919, SND party was transformed into Popular-National Union (ZLN).
The first national democratic movement arose in the early twentieth century, under [[File:RomanDmowski.png]] Roman Dmowski. It opposed the [[File:Leftnat.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|Polish Socialist Party]], in that instead of advocating for a revolution against the partitioning powers, it preferred a gradual change and smooth transition into independence. Therefore, it was against the 1905 Revolution, and even sided with the Imperial Forces in the uprising. With the beginning of WW1, the Endencja supported Russia in return for promised autonomy, with Dmowski even being part of the Duma.


===Interwar Poland===
===Interwar Poland===


In 1920, ZLN supported government of [[File:Farm.png]] [[Agrarianism|Wincenty Witos.]] In 1921, ZLN opposed Chief of State [[File:Pilsudski.png]] [[Stratocracy|Józef Piłsudski.]] One year later, party was part of Christian Union of National Unity (ChZJN or Chjena) coalition of [[File:Cdem.png]] [[Christian Democracy|christian-democratic,]] [[File:EndecjaPix.png]] [[Nationalism|national-democratic]] and [[File:Conservative.png]] [[Conservatism|conservative]] parties.
In the interwar period, supporter of national democracy, [[w:Eligiusz_Niewiadomski|Eligiusz Niewiadomski]] assassinated the first President of Poland, [[File:Freemason_.png]] [[w:Gabriel_Narutowicz|Gabriel Narutowicz]]. In 1926, following the elections, the Endencja entered a coalition with the Polish People's Party. However, the elections turned out to be a disaster, as [[File:Pilsudski.png]] Jozef Pilsudski, former leader of the Polish Socialist Party declared the election null and void, and staged a [[w:May_Coup_(Poland)|military coup]]. He went on to establish an autocracy, under a non-partisan bloc known as [[File:Sanacja.png]] [[Social Authoritarianism|Sanation]]. The National Party became the main opposition against the military junta. Due to this, many of its leaders were arrested. In 1938, following the death of the original founder [[File:RomanDmowski.png]] Roman Dmowski, the party underwent a, albeit informal and the party retained its unity, split. One faction, the more radical one and headed by Jedrzej Giertych, which supported active military support to Checkoslovakia against Germany following the Munich Agreement, and a more moderate one, headed by party leader Tadeusz Bielecki. However, the whole party opposed the Annexation of Zaolsie and proposed military assistance to Czechoslovakia.

The same year, Sejm was about to elect President. Due to no one being elected at first time, only two candidates remained - [[File:Natcon.png]] [[National Conservatism|Maurycy Zamoyski,]] supported by national democrats; and [[File:Esosoc.png]] [[Esoteric Socialism|Gabriel Narutowicz,]] supported by [[File:Lib.png]] [[Liberalism|liberal,]] [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|leftist]] and [[File:JewTheo.png]] [[Jewish Theocracy|mino]][[Democratic Socialism|rity]] [[File:Cball-Germany.png]] parties. Narutowicz have won and was assassinated few days later by [[File:Terrorist.png]] [https://polcompballanarchy.miraheze.org/wiki/Terrorism#Relations Eligiusz Niewiadomski,] a (former) supporter of National Democracy.

In 1923, Chjena signed Lanckorona Pact, creating an alliance with Witos' [[File:Witos.png]] [[Agrarianism|Polish People's Party "Piast"]] and [[File:Cdem.png]][[Christian Democracy|Christian-National Workers' Party.]] Coalition, commonly known as "Chjeno-Piast", managed to form the government. It was led by Witos and ceased to exist in December due to few deputies seceding from 'Piast'.

However, "Chjeno-Piast" coalition was recreated in 1926. This time it managed to form stable government, once again led by Witos. But soon [[File:Pilsudski.png]] Piłsudski gathered his supporters and couped the government.

==== The National Party ====
Two years after the coup, ZLN was transformed into Camp of Great Poland (OWP). Said organisation later became part of National Party (SN). Newly founded party was the largest party opposing [[File:Sanacja.png]] [[Social Authoritarianism|sanation regime]] - it had 200 000 members. The party was [[File:Natcon.png]][[National Conservatism|national-conservative]] one, supportive of [[File:Parl.png]] [[Parliamentarianism|parliamentarism]] and emphasizing strong role of [[File:Catheo.png]] [[Catholic Theocracy|Catholic Church.]] The OWP was more radical than SN - supporting [[File:AuthFoundation.png]][[Authoritarianism|authoritarianism,]] [[File:Corptism.png]][[corporatism]] and [[File:NatCath.png]][[Religious Nationalism#National Catholicism|National Catholicism.]]

There was strong division between old and young nationalists which soon caused the movement to split. In 1933, government banned OWP. This caused some of young nationalists to create their own organisation - National Radical Camp (See: [[File:PolFal.png]] [[National Radicalism]]). Five years later, in 1938, following the death of the original founder [[File:RomanDmowski.png]] Roman Dmowski, the party underwent a, albeit informal and the party retained its unity, split. One faction, the more radical, led by [[File:Szczerbiec.png]] Jędrzej Giertych, supported active military support to [[File:Cball-Czechia.png]] [https://www.polandballwiki.com/wiki/Czechoslovakiaball Czechoslovakia] against [[File:Nazi.png]][https://www.polandballwiki.com/wiki/Nazi_Germanyball Germany] following [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement the Munich Agreement,] and a more moderate one, headed by party leader Tadeusz Bielecki. However, the whole party opposed the Annexation of Zaolzie region and proposed military assistance to Czechoslovakia.


===WW2 and Communism===
===WW2 and Communism===


Following the invasion of Poland and the collapse of the Second Polish Republic, the National Party created its own resistance movement, the National Armed Forces, which was created in cooperation with the [[File:ABC.png]] [[National Radicalism|National-Radical Camp "ABC"]]. Eventually, the Endencja left the National Armed Forces and merged with the [[File:PolishPartisans.png]] [[Anti-Fascism|Home Army]]. Following the war, the Party relocated to London. It was opposed to Communism and recognised the Polish Republic government-in-exile.
Following the invasion of Poland and the collapse of the Second Polish Republic, the National Party created its own resistance movement, the National Armed Forces. It was created in cooperation with the [[File:ABC.png]] [[National Radicalism|National-Radical Camp "ABC"]]. Eventually, some of NSZ's soldiers joined the [[File:PolishPartisans.png]] [[Anti-Fascism|Home Army]].

During the war, Party's headquarters was London. It partook in the Polish Republic government-in-exile. Yet, was opposed to General Władysław Sikorski and left the government after agreement with USSR was signed. After the war, SN (in Poland) was banned by new communist government, but party remained active in London.

Soon, the internal conflict arose as one faction, led by Tadeusz Bielecki and Adam Doboszyński, opposed any agreement with Soviet Union, while the second faction, led by Jędrzej Giertych, supported limited cooperation with Soviets. Giertych even supported Martial Law, and his son, Maciej, was member of Advisory Council - made up of opposition members and communist party officials to give advice to the government.

SN in London refused to recognize the new SN founded in 1989 in Poland. London SN dissolved itself in 1992 transferring its wealth to National-Democratic Party, founded one year earlier.


===Modern===
===Modern===


Following the collapse of the Polish People's Republic, the National Party was recreated by Leon Mirecki, Jan Matłachowski and Napoleon Siemaszko - all were members of interwar SN. Another National Democratic parties created after fall of communism were: National-Democratic Party, National Party "Fatherland" (split from SN), Polish National Party, Catholic Electoral Action and Homeland Patriotic Movement.
Following the collapse of the Polish People's Republic, the National Party relocated back to Poland properly. However, its popularity dropped, and although it still exists, it barely has over 0.5% support. The main National Democratic Party in Poland was the League of Polish families, under Roman Giertych, the grandson of Jedrzej. It was strongly eurosceptic and very nationalist. However, Giertych distanced himself from Endencja's heritage, and left politics in 2007, while the League eventually softened and became a [[File:Nalib.png]] [[National Liberalism|National Liberal]] and pro-european party. The last remaining party (there are still active organisations, although they are usually Far-right, most notably the All-Polish Youth), is the National Movement, led by Krzysztof Bosak. It is part of the Confederation coalition.

Most significant National Democratic party in 80s and 90s was Christian National Union (ZChN). Its leader, Wiesław Chrzanowski, was Marshal of Sejm in 1991-1993. Later ZChN was part of Jerzy Buzek's government.

==== All-Polish Youth ====
The [[File:MW.png]] '''All Polish Youth (MW)''' is a
[[File:Ultranat.png]] [[Ultranationalism|ultranationalist]] youth organization in [[File:Cball-Poland.png]] Poland that was formed in 1989 by Roman Giertych, then student at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. The MW's purpose is to promote [[File:NatCath.png]] [[Religious Nationalism#National Catholicism|Catholic nationalist]] and [[File:Modnat.png]] [[Patriotism|patriotic]] values among the Polish youth population. The organizations 1989 manifesto states: "One's country is the greatest earthly good. After God, your foremost love belongs to the Homeland, and foremost after God you must serve your own country."

The MW is fiercely opposed to [[File:Secular.png]] [[Secularism|secularism]], [[File:Lib.png]] [[Liberalism|liberalism,]] [[File:Gay.png]] [[Progressivism|LGBT]], abortion, and [[File:Commie.png]] {{PCBA|Communism|communism.}} The organisation opposed Poland's accession to European Union in 2004 and calls for Poland's withdrawal since then. Economically, the organisation supports common private property and opposed buyout of national wealth by foreign capital. MW supports national solidarism and economic nationalism.

==== League of Polish Families ====
The [[File:Lpr-icon.png]] '''League of Polish Families (LPR)''' was founded in 2001 by merger of National Party, National-Democratic Party and few other minor parties. The party was [[File:NatCath.png]] [[Religious Nationalism#National Catholicism|National Catholic]], [[File:Anticommunism.png]] [https://polcompballanarchy.miraheze.org/wiki/Anti-Communism anti-communist] and [[File:Natcon.png]] [[National Conservatism|national-conservative]], while economically [[File:Protect.png]][[Protectionism|protectionist]] and [[File:Welf.png]] [[Welfarism|welfarist]]. At first, it was supported and promoted by ''Radio Maryja'' as well as other media of [[File:Rydzyk.png]] [[Plutocracy|Father Tadeusz Rydzyk]]. LPR opposed Poland's accession to [[File:European_Federalism.png]][[European Federalism|European Union]]. [[File:MW.png]] [[Ultranationalism|All-Polish Youth]] was party's youth organisation.

In 2001 elections, LPR gained 8% of votes - giving it 38 seats in Sejm and 2 in Senate. In elections to the European Parliament three years later, LPR won 10 seats out of 54 reserved for Poland. These elections were the most successful in party's history, making LPR the second largest party after [[File:PO.png]][[Liberal Conservatism|Civic Platform]]. In 2005 presidential elections, LPR's candidate was Maciej Giertych (son of Jędrzej and father of Roman). He withdrawn from elections, officially supported PiS' candidate, [[File:Lechkacz.png]] [[Neoconservatism|Lech Kaczyński]]. In parliamentary elections in the same year, LPR once again gained 8% - this time it gave party 34 seats in Sejm and 7 in Senate.

In the same year, LPR signed stabilisation pact with [[File:PiS.png]][[Paternalistic Conservatism|PiS]] and [[File:Lepper.png]][[National Agrarianism|Samoobrona]]. Later, it supported governments of Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz and Jarosław Kaczyński. Giertych, the Minister of Education, distanced himself from Dmowski's legacy. One year later, LPR severed ties with MW and created new youth organisation - LPR Youth Movement (it was led by young member of the party and then member of Sejm, Krzysztof Bosak).

The coalition collapsed in 2007. LPR party briefly created a coalition with Samoobrona. Later, both parties ended cooperation and Giertych retired from politics. Since 2007 the party won no seats - neither in Sejm nor in Senate.

Next, the party softened and became [[File:European_Federalism.png]] [[European Federalism|pro-European]], [[File:Nalib.png]] [[National Liberalism|national liberal]] and [[File:SocialConservative.png]] [[Conservatism|social conservative.]]

Natdem is very nationalist. He memorised all of Dmowski's books and likes to be a member of marches. His favourite food is Kielbasa. He was a member of the NSZ, but was captured and sent to POW camps and tried to escape 33 times (a reference to Jedrzej Giertych, who did do so). He is hated by everyone except for [[File:Witos.png]] [[Agrarianism|PSL]] to his hate of [[File:Pilsudski.png]] [[Social Authoritarianism|Pilsudzki]], but that does not bother him. He is very religious, and if under arrest he may be seen lying down in a position on a cross for the whole night. If not, he will go to church every day and sing Polish religious songs like "Boże, coś Polskę".

"To be a Pole does not mean just to speak Polish or to feel close to other Poles, but to value the Polish nation above all else … [A Pole] must accept everything Polish, both good and bad, and must accept every period of the nation's history, both strong and weak."

National Democracy also called Endecja (clipping of Narodowa Demokracja) is a Polish democratic nationalist political movement.

Beliefs

Piast Concept

Piast Concept, or Piast Idea, is named after the Piast Dynasty - one founded by first ruler of united Poland, Mieszko the First. The idea sees medieval kingdom, populated by Polish majority, as great example of Westernization.

This concept was developed by Popławski and adopted by National Democratic movement. Endecja's vision of Poland saw its place on the West, stated Polish state should include mainly lands with Polish majority and wanted Pomerania, Silesia and East Prussia to become parts of Poland.

Race and ethnicity

Although "Endecja" was inspired by Social Darwinist tendencies (popular in Europe at the time), it has never displayed racist views. National Democrats defined accepting national duties as main trait of a Pole. Many examples of this idea can be found in one of most famous books by Dmowski "Myśli nowoczesnego Polaka" (Thoughts of a Modern Pole). One of such quotes is:

"I am a Pole - in deeper understanding, this declaration means a lot. I am so not only because I speak Polish, not only because others speaking the same language are spiritually closer to me and much easier to understand, not only because some of my private affairs make me closer to them than to the strangers, but also because apart sphere of my personal, individual life, I also know the collective life of Nation (...)"

Thus, Endecja can be characterized as a cultural nationalist movement. Ignorance of national duties, as well as acting against the interests of Poland was the reason why the National Democrats criticized the noblemen of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. "Endecja" also saw polonizing peasants as one of most important goals during the partitions era. Protecting polish culture was one of reasons why "Endecja" opposed uprising and revolutions against partitioners, especially Russia. National Democrats saw the November Uprising as well as January Uprising as disastrous, due to both of them causing Russian repressions against Polish cultural institutions.

All-Polishness

The concept of All-Polishness was created by Jan Ludwik Popławski. It emphasized need of unity between all Polish lands, then occupied by Germany, Austria and Russia. One of means to create such unity was developing a movement which will be equality active and influential in all three parts of former Poland. This concept differed Endecja from other movements - Polish Socialist Party was strongest in Russian partition, peasant movement was mainly active in Austrian partition while Christian Democracy's stronghold was Silesia.

Important part of All-Polishness was individual's connection to whole nation and duties towards it. In Popławski's vision all members of the Nation were to have equal status, regardless of their social class.

Kraków School of Economics

Kraków School of Economics, or KSE, was liberal economic school, it was centred around Jagiellonian University. Its disputed how much it was connected to National Democracy movement - some say only few members of school were part of the movement, while others see the school itself as a part of the movement. Another dispute is about who exactly was member of the school - ones see Adam Krzyżanowski, Ferdynand Zweig and Adam Heydel as founders, while others think the founder of school was Włodzimierz Czerkawski, so his students are often counted as members too.

KSE was economically liberal and had ties to Austrian school. However, KSE had different opinion on Methodenstreit - preferring empiric approach and deduction, rather than deduction alone. Kraków School supported lowering taxes, freedom of business, rule of law and minimalization of state's economic intervention.

Criticizing economic interventionism, KSE developed three types of anti-statist arguments:

  • Economic arguments - profitability of state companies is naturally lower; it is so due to flaws of human nature.
  • Political arguments - increasing level of statism limits freedom of the individual, thus can lead to totalitarianism.
  • Moral arguments - excessive government intervention can increase criminality due to perceived injustice of law.

The School broke up during World War II and was forgotten after it.

Adam Krzyżanowski

Adam Krzyżanowski was Polish economist, profesor at Jagielloniam University and director of the Polish Academy of Learning, often described as classical liberal. He predicted the Great Crisis and, together with Ferdynand Zweig, he wrote memorandum meant to protect Poland from consequences to the crisis. He translated Thomas Robert Malthus' "An Essay on the Principle of Population".

Even though he was opposed to sanation's interventionism , he was also member of Sejm from BBWR party. He left it in 1931 protesting against imprisonment of politicians of opposition. After German aggression, Krzyżanowski was one of intellectuals arrested during Sonderaktion Krakau and sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp. He was released and returned to Poland. After war, he was again member of Sejm. This time from Democratic Party.

He died in 1963 in Kraków.

Adam Heydel

Adam Heydel was a Polish economist and supporter of economic liberalism. He criticized statism and economic interventionism, adopting methodology similar to that of Austrian School. He was also familiar with views of Friedrich von Hayek. Heydel was the chairman of National Club in Kraków.

For his criticism of the Sanation government, he was removed from the economics department at the Jagiellonian University. During World War II, he was arrested by SS as part of Sonderaktion Krakau. Then, he was released due to international pressure. Later, he joined the Union of Armed Struggle but was arrested by Gestapo. After refusing to sign Volkliste, he was sent to Auschwitz and murdered in a mass shooting.

National Egoism

Developed mainly by Zygmunt Balicki, idea of National Egoism stated that greater good of the Nation was to be put above morality or ethics. In his 1903 book, titled "National Egoism and Ethics", he wrote: "The Nation, as living organism, has moral right to expand, not only on expense of passive, mindless and socially amorphous elements, but even at the expense of other nations, as long as this expansion is natural and not based on brutal force, coercion and exceptional laws."

The idea was soon adopted by National Democrats, including Dmowski. Propagating the idea, he was critical of Christian ethics seeing it as incompatible with National Egoism. Dmowski saw the idea as being necessary attitude towards international affairs - he saw these as Darwinist fight, with "strong' nations conquering the "weak' ones.

Balicki's ideas, including National Egoism, were inspiration for ZLN, but rather less important one. National Party further distanced itself from the ideas, with "young faction" fully refusing it. National Egoism was later replaced by Catholic Nationalism.

The Great Poland

The Great Poland was concept created during Partitions' period, it was idea of future character of Polish state. Future Poland was to be made of conscious people, loyal to their nation - way to achieve this was polonizing peasants and propagating nationalist ideas among Polish society. The Great Poland was to include all lands with Polish majority.

Incorporation concept

Incorporation concept, or incorporationist concept, was idea proposed by Roman Dmowski after First World War. It supported incorporation of many lands into Poland together with assimilation of national minorities. National Democrats preferred unitary and culturally homogeneous country.

It opposed federalist concept of Józef Piłsudski, which preferred multicultural state over unitary one.

Dmowski's Line

Dmowski's Line was proposed border of Poland, presented by Roman Dmowski during Paris Peace Conference. Future borders of Poland were to include: Pomerania, Upper Silesia (including Danzig), Warmia and Masuria, Lithuania (with Memel), Podolia, Volhynia, large part of Belarus (including Minsk) and Polesia. The proposal was rejected during the conference.

Dmowski later withdrawn the proposal, during negotiations of peace treaty ending Polish-Bolshevik war.

History

In 1887, group of Polish emigrants gathered in Switzerland and created the Polish League. At first, organisation was liberal-democratic and supportive of uprisings as method to fight partitioners. However, in 1893 league was taken over by young members - among them Roman Dmowski, Jan Ludwik Popławski and Zygmunt Balicki. Then, it was transformed into National League (LN), thus becoming first organisation of new political movement - National Democracy.

Partitions period

Three years later, in 1897, members of LN decided to create a party - National-Democratic Party, or SND. The party opposed other Polish movements, like Polish Socialist Party (PPS), as it preferred negotiation over revolution as path to, first, autonomy and then independence. Endecja gained seats in parliaments of all three partitioning powers - in Russian State Duma it created Polish Club (dominated by National Democrats); the same was Endecja's situtation in Germany. In 1904, SND was founded in Galicia (Austrian partition) as Democratic-National Party.

During Russian revolution of 1905, Endecja didn't support revolutionaries - on contrary to PPS, seeing cooperation with Russian authorities as more beneficial for Polish nation than revolting. Dmowski himself was deputy to State Duma.

World War I

During the Great War, national democrats created Polish National Committee (KNP), with headquarters in Warsaw and then Petrograd. KNP supported creation of Puławy Legion - Polish military formation. Legion was dissolved in 1915, while the Committee ceased to exist two years later. Then, Dmowski moved to Paris and recreated the Committee. New KNP supported creation of Blue Army, led by General Józef Haller.

Committee was recognized by Entente as legitimate representation of Polish nation. Thus, KNP's leaders, Roman Dmowski and Ignacy Jan Paderewski, represented Poland during Paris Peace Conference. Then, Committee recognized authority of Polish government. In 1919, SND party was transformed into Popular-National Union (ZLN).

Interwar Poland

In 1920, ZLN supported government of Wincenty Witos. In 1921, ZLN opposed Chief of State Józef Piłsudski. One year later, party was part of Christian Union of National Unity (ChZJN or Chjena) coalition of christian-democratic, national-democratic and conservative parties.

The same year, Sejm was about to elect President. Due to no one being elected at first time, only two candidates remained - Maurycy Zamoyski, supported by national democrats; and Gabriel Narutowicz, supported by liberal, leftist and minority parties. Narutowicz have won and was assassinated few days later by Eligiusz Niewiadomski, a (former) supporter of National Democracy.

In 1923, Chjena signed Lanckorona Pact, creating an alliance with Witos' Polish People's Party "Piast" and Christian-National Workers' Party. Coalition, commonly known as "Chjeno-Piast", managed to form the government. It was led by Witos and ceased to exist in December due to few deputies seceding from 'Piast'.

However, "Chjeno-Piast" coalition was recreated in 1926. This time it managed to form stable government, once again led by Witos. But soon Piłsudski gathered his supporters and couped the government.

The National Party

Two years after the coup, ZLN was transformed into Camp of Great Poland (OWP). Said organisation later became part of National Party (SN). Newly founded party was the largest party opposing sanation regime - it had 200 000 members. The party was national-conservative one, supportive of parliamentarism and emphasizing strong role of Catholic Church. The OWP was more radical than SN - supporting authoritarianism, corporatism and National Catholicism.

There was strong division between old and young nationalists which soon caused the movement to split. In 1933, government banned OWP. This caused some of young nationalists to create their own organisation - National Radical Camp (See: National Radicalism). Five years later, in 1938, following the death of the original founder Roman Dmowski, the party underwent a, albeit informal and the party retained its unity, split. One faction, the more radical, led by Jędrzej Giertych, supported active military support to Czechoslovakia against Germany following the Munich Agreement, and a more moderate one, headed by party leader Tadeusz Bielecki. However, the whole party opposed the Annexation of Zaolzie region and proposed military assistance to Czechoslovakia.

WW2 and Communism

Following the invasion of Poland and the collapse of the Second Polish Republic, the National Party created its own resistance movement, the National Armed Forces. It was created in cooperation with the National-Radical Camp "ABC". Eventually, some of NSZ's soldiers joined the Home Army.

During the war, Party's headquarters was London. It partook in the Polish Republic government-in-exile. Yet, was opposed to General Władysław Sikorski and left the government after agreement with USSR was signed. After the war, SN (in Poland) was banned by new communist government, but party remained active in London.

Soon, the internal conflict arose as one faction, led by Tadeusz Bielecki and Adam Doboszyński, opposed any agreement with Soviet Union, while the second faction, led by Jędrzej Giertych, supported limited cooperation with Soviets. Giertych even supported Martial Law, and his son, Maciej, was member of Advisory Council - made up of opposition members and communist party officials to give advice to the government.

SN in London refused to recognize the new SN founded in 1989 in Poland. London SN dissolved itself in 1992 transferring its wealth to National-Democratic Party, founded one year earlier.

Modern

Following the collapse of the Polish People's Republic, the National Party was recreated by Leon Mirecki, Jan Matłachowski and Napoleon Siemaszko - all were members of interwar SN. Another National Democratic parties created after fall of communism were: National-Democratic Party, National Party "Fatherland" (split from SN), Polish National Party, Catholic Electoral Action and Homeland Patriotic Movement.

Most significant National Democratic party in 80s and 90s was Christian National Union (ZChN). Its leader, Wiesław Chrzanowski, was Marshal of Sejm in 1991-1993. Later ZChN was part of Jerzy Buzek's government.

All-Polish Youth

The All Polish Youth (MW) is a ultranationalist youth organization in Poland that was formed in 1989 by Roman Giertych, then student at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. The MW's purpose is to promote Catholic nationalist and patriotic values among the Polish youth population. The organizations 1989 manifesto states: "One's country is the greatest earthly good. After God, your foremost love belongs to the Homeland, and foremost after God you must serve your own country."

The MW is fiercely opposed to secularism, liberalism, LGBT, abortion, and communism. The organisation opposed Poland's accession to European Union in 2004 and calls for Poland's withdrawal since then. Economically, the organisation supports common private property and opposed buyout of national wealth by foreign capital. MW supports national solidarism and economic nationalism.

League of Polish Families

The League of Polish Families (LPR) was founded in 2001 by merger of National Party, National-Democratic Party and few other minor parties. The party was National Catholic, anti-communist and national-conservative, while economically protectionist and welfarist. At first, it was supported and promoted by Radio Maryja as well as other media of Father Tadeusz Rydzyk. LPR opposed Poland's accession to European Union. All-Polish Youth was party's youth organisation.

In 2001 elections, LPR gained 8% of votes - giving it 38 seats in Sejm and 2 in Senate. In elections to the European Parliament three years later, LPR won 10 seats out of 54 reserved for Poland. These elections were the most successful in party's history, making LPR the second largest party after Civic Platform. In 2005 presidential elections, LPR's candidate was Maciej Giertych (son of Jędrzej and father of Roman). He withdrawn from elections, officially supported PiS' candidate, Lech Kaczyński. In parliamentary elections in the same year, LPR once again gained 8% - this time it gave party 34 seats in Sejm and 7 in Senate.

In the same year, LPR signed stabilisation pact with PiS and Samoobrona. Later, it supported governments of Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz and Jarosław Kaczyński. Giertych, the Minister of Education, distanced himself from Dmowski's legacy. One year later, LPR severed ties with MW and created new youth organisation - LPR Youth Movement (it was led by young member of the party and then member of Sejm, Krzysztof Bosak).

The coalition collapsed in 2007. LPR party briefly created a coalition with Samoobrona. Later, both parties ended cooperation and Giertych retired from politics. Since 2007 the party won no seats - neither in Sejm nor in Senate.

Next, the party softened and became pro-European, national liberal and social conservative.

Stylistic Notes

If you are drawing in WWI, he will be pragmatically pro-Russian, but still nationalist.

If you are drawing in the interwar period, add a banner, armband with the Polish flag or dark-blue beret with Szczerbiec (sword wrapped three times in a white-and-red ribbon).

If you are drawing a member of the NSZ, he may be seen shooting Nazis, Ukrainian nationalists, Soviets or Polish communists.

Personality and Behaviour

Natdem is very nationalist, and doesn't like Germany. He memorised all of Dmowski's books and likes to be a member of marches. His favourite food is Kielbasa. He was a member of the NSZ, but was captured and sent to POW camps and tried to escape 33 times (a reference to Jedrzej Giertych, who did do so). He is hated by many, especially Pilsudzki's followers but that does not bother him.

He is very religious, and if under arrest he may be seen lying down in a position on a cross for the whole night. If not, he will go to church every day and sing Polish religious songs like "Boże, coś Polskę".

In interwar period, his allies are PSL and Christian Democracy. Contemporary NatDem can easily align with Alt-Lite, Korwinism, Braunism and Paleoconservatism.

His closest friends are National Conservatism and Catholic Theocracy.
