Summary/Abstract: Obremski offers a comparative analysis of “Posłania do ludzi pracy Europy Wschodniej”[A Message to the Working People of Eastern Europe], formulated during the SolidarityTrade Union’s First National Congress of Delegates, and Jan Józef Lipski’s essay Dwieojczyzny, dwa patriotyzmy [Two Homelands, Two Patriotisms]. Both speaking subjectsare independent of state and party power, and their messages both help create anincompatible compatibility: they are openly anti-socialist but project two differentperspectives on Poland in the year 1981. Although not opposed to each other, thesetwo perspectives present Poland in different dimensions.
