Talk:Orange Alternative
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Can I ask why this movement is called "anarchic"?
My knowledge of the Pomarańczowa Alternatywa is only cursory but I suppose it was a protest movement without any real aims. Just for the protest's sake. They wanted to give people some hope, a few laughs and escape from grim everyday life under Communism. Unlike Solidarnosc they were not a political movement rather something like a dada cabaret that went to audiences in the street.
- Well, it's because i wrote it basing on article which described it as anarchic. In history you wont see it, because irst author is "coinversion script" :))) Szopen 11:09, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The reason it is described as anarchic - and I take it from its leader - Major Fydrych - was that it was breaking up the existing order and freeing the people from the fear that permeated them ever since the Martial Law was imposed by General Jaruzelski (December 1980). When you listen to the OA happeners and people that joined in the happenings (and in some of them over 10 thousand persons took place) searching the freedom from fear was the principal goal that is commonly mentioned. It was a big thing that opened the road to reactivation of the other opposition currents, which were suppressed and depressed as result of the Martial Law. It was anarchic because ridiculized and ruined the existing communist law order epitomized by the Jaruzelski goverment, that maintained the society at its frozen state. La Papesse, 08-12-2006
