When reason fails, ideology prevails!

 

Our project "When reason fails, ideology prevails!" took place in Murzasichle - one of the most picturesque regions in southern Poland, between 24'th of September and 1'st of October 2023. We hosted 48 youngsters 18-27 years old from the following countries: Greece, Italy, Romania, Spain, Lithuania and Poland. Our primary aim was to make the youth more acquainted with the historical/social and economic context of the birth of three ideologies that made the biggest impact in the 20'th, namely fascism, socialism and ultra-liberal market economy with the minimal intervention and participation of the state. The youth learned guidelines, goals and effects of those ideologies and identified a huge difference between slogans and tangible results of ideologies. In particular, the youth learned about the tragic results of fascist ideology reflected in horrible crimes against the humanity, tragic results of the socialism reflected in mass incarceration and forced labor that caused many deaths and hunger that killed millions of people, tragic results of the liberal market ideology reflected in extreme economic polarization, deep recession of 1930's and poor working conditions. Further, youth learned how to detect signals warning of the birth of dictatorships.
