Unite die! That slogan, which motivated the Thirteen Colonies in America, where in 1774, preparing to defend against his mother - assassin - Great Britain. Colonies were thoroughly different - built on the foundations of the different social, political and religious. That's what they had had - a desire to preserve their identity, freedom and the principles by which they can thrive. Short-sighted politicians believed then that the creation of a federation of the U.S. break up the implementation of these intentions. Husbands of State argued that the better the supreme power, Federal, than the behavior of impaired autonomy within the power of English.
As word has a historical experience to the current situation of Silesia. Similarities exist. Mask of overseas powers (Great Britain) currently holds the actor called the Polish Republic. Previously, he received it from an actor - Germany. Even earlier times did not count, because the social situation did not provide the continuity of our assumptions: in a nutshell - the world then was not to compare with the current. The actors who play the role of power in Silesia guided exclusively self-interest. In the era of antagonism between the European powers (Poland, Germany) was dominated by war economy. Both in terms of purely economic, but also ethnic and cultural. Both powers even by propaganda fought for this happy land and the souls of its inhabitants. Brutal battle called "denationalization" was the hallmark of Germanization policy of Bismarck, the times of the plebiscite, and the tragic civil wars until 1921, also imprinted their mark on it. Localization times Grazynskiego - piłsudczykowskiego governor, and later the Nazis and strangling glajszacht PRL. Powers fighting each other, destroying enemy influence. On the occasion of killing the soul of Silesia. In force and applies a kind of pact, a conspiracy. On no occasion did not mention the ambitions of Silesian colonies. Yet ready to stand out for independence. Meanwhile, outside powers, no independence can not exist. Possibly only the offal from the superpower of the table - which both powers granted in the interwar years as a reward for the many young lives first in their bloody wrestling.
Unite or perish. But how to do this. As small nations Europe, such as Silesia, have to fight for their own selves surrounded by the partitioning powers. How to make and finally the national interest coincides with the "our" interest. Why can not it be that the effort bears fruit Silesia on the spot. Why should cultivate the culture, since it will be mocked, be prohibited. What is worse - her przypnie patch imperfections. Mutation of a true culture, dialect, slang. Why work for the good of neocolonial masters.
Unite or perish - this password as the construction of a new Europe - a democratic and free.
Silesia and Silesian nation can be truly free only in a federal Europe. One in which there is no place for power. One in which there is Montenegro and Kosovo, Bavaria, Tuscany, Corsica and the Basque Country. Ruled by a democratically elected federal congress, senate Europe, a common executive power. Only in this way, each nation will have the right to self-identity, politics, their own heritage. Do not let Europe perish under the boots of fraudulent powers.
