With the populist tide on the rise, comparisons of contemporary right-wing governments
to fascist regimes are increasingly common. The rise of the populist right-wing politics
has created a number of reactions, using either new or established forms of political
resistance. One of such examples is the anti-fascist movement whose strength grows in
many national contexts. The recently observed political swing to the right results also in
a radicalization of politics. Radical actors intersect and cooperate with moderate ones,
influence one another and bring new ideas and repertoires of contention to the streets and
into mainstream politics. This trend can be observed in Poland where the 2015 elections
(presidential and parliamentary) resulted in the radicalization of the mainstream discourse.
This article focuses on the case study of the broadly understood anti-racist movement in
Poland that has recently had to remodel itself to face new challenges – in particular the
institutionalization of xenophobic rhetoric and the growth of the far-right sector – and
has undergone substantial changes in general. The article presents the internal radical-
moderate dynamics within the specific context of the anti-fascist movement in Poland.
In particular, it explores the role of changes in political opportunity structures for the
reinvigoration of the anti-fascist movement in Poland, radicalization in some of its sectors,
and change in its priorities and focus.
