Overview
Die Hintergründe und Folgen des Hitler-Stalin-Pakts von 1939 verraten viel über totalitäre Diktaturen. Sie brauchen die Lüge, den Hass, den Feind, den Führer und die Gewalt. 1989 schien sich die Welt von diesen Irrungen zu befreien. Heute beobachten wir weltweit eine neue Bewegung. Sie ist nationalistisch, populistisch, fremdenfeindlich und autoritär. Ihre Führer heißen Putin, Trump und Xi, Erdoğan und Orbán. In Polen ist der oberste Anhänger dieses Kurses Jarosław Kaczyński. Sie alle singen unterschiedliche Lieder zu derselben Melodie. Wir kennen sie aus den 1930er Jahren. Diese Lieder beginnen mit Worten der Lüge und rufen auf zum Kampf gegen die Offene Gesellschaft, Freiheit und Menschenrechte. Es ist Zeit, diesen Kampf aufzunehmen, wenn auch mit anderen Mitteln. Wir Bürger müssen Freiheit und Demokratie verteidigen.
The background to the Hitler-Stalin Pact of 1939 and its consequences tell us much about the way totalitarian regimes work. They rely on lies and hatred, and they depend on the existence of an enemy, a leader and the use of force. In 1989, it looked as though the world had liberated itself from these aberrations. Today, we are witnessing a new movement that is nationalistic, populist, xenophobic and authoritarian. Its leaders are called Putin, Trump and Xi, Erdoğan und Orbán. In Poland, the most powerful advocate of these tendencies is Jarosław Kaczyński. While they may sing different songs, the melody is the same. We recognise it from the 1930s. These songs begin with lies, and are an appeal to fight against open society, freedom and human rights. It is time to take up this fight, albeit with other means. We citizens must defend freedom and democracy.
