The document discusses the presence and role of social democratic parties in Poland after the fall of communism and transition to capitalism. It notes that post-communist parties that governed Poland pursued liberal economic and social policies. It suggests there are few truly social democratic parties without communist roots due to a lack of appeal during transition and a crisis of the left more broadly. Traditional left-right discourse also became less relevant in Poland during the democratic struggle against communism.
