Poland is not in the imperial core, it very much would like to be an imperialist power, but it isnt, the degree of exploitation is not as high as in the 3rd world, but its still exploited by the imperialist powers, for example germany uses poland for cheap labour

The funniest thing is that right-wingers in Poland usually use contradictory narratives to push their narrative of "communism bad, capitalism good". Poland wants to be considered western, but at the same time it always blames the west (especially Germany for partitions and nazi occupation, and allies for "betrayal") for its shortcomings. The Germans are also blamed for "controlling" liberal political parties, while conservatives also usually implement reforms that allow for lower taxes for western corporations and privileged treatment in special economic zones that benefit Germany. Poles know that their economy is almost totally dependent on the EU, but somehow they always want to make it seem like that the economy is a "miracle" compared to PPR. Polish political discourse is also filled with absolutely insane russophobia and orientalism, to the point where General Staff of the Polish Army, for example, shows this nonsense on their twitter account. Poland weaponizes its "victimhood" to force anti-russian and anti-communist narratives, but at the same time it wants to be like the countries that abused Poland.

Ukraina jest dziś przedmurzem nowej-starej bolszewii, tak jak kiedyś Polska (15 sierpnia 1920 r.).

Today, Ukraine is a bulwark of the new-old Bolshevik, just like Poland once was (August 15, 1920).

I completely agree

Tell them about Afghanistan and Iraq and they will show their hypocrisy

It very much a servent of imperialist powers

And is an imperial power

Just a very small one

The idea their actions in Afghanistan and Iraq aren’t imperialist is laughable

I agree that poland is a loyal dog of the imperialists, but it isnt an imperialist power itself, it didnt make the decisions to invade Iraq and Afghanistan and never benefited from it, it merely aided in these invasions to demonstrate it's servility
