Abstract

The aim of this article is to show with the example of contemporary Poland the ideological function of anti-communism. It explains how “communism” has been constructed and utilized mainly in order to legitimize the political/economic power in the decades of Transition after 1989. The question is not only why anti-communism has been relatively successful in functioning as the hegemonic ideology, but also what its limits are. This article examines the roots of anti-communism with an attempt to find its universal and particular features. The Polish example is helpful to distinguish major, contradictory, ideological explanations operating within its framework: apologetic and contesting.

作为意识形态的反共主义

本文旨在以当代波兰为例，展示反共的意识形态功能。它解释了“共产主义”是如何被构建和利用的，主要是为了在1989年后的几十年过渡中使政治/经济权力合法化。问题不仅在于为什么反共作为霸权意识形态相对成功，还在于它的局限性是什么。本文考察了反共思想的根源，试图找到其普遍性和特殊性。波兰的例子有助于区分在其框架内运作的主要、矛盾的意识形态解释：道歉和质疑。
