Antyelitarna narracja współczesnej polskiej prawicy
Anti-Elitist Narrative of the Contemporary Polish Right

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze the anti-elite narrative of intellectuals related to the Polish right. The author analyzes the contemporary Polish right discourse, mainly after 2015, the criticism of elitism and the dominant strategies aimed at depriving the legitimacy of the mainstream elite of the Third Republic of Poland. The charge of elitism is connected with the accusation of lack of empathy, lack of understanding of societal problems and unrepresentation of its interests. In this way, it becomes an important argument that strengthens the political division for social and political change. In the spirit of critical theory, the author argues that the ultimate goal of anti-elitist articulations is not to lead or even articulate an egalitarian order, but to preserve the social hierarchy and present right-wing intellectuals as the legitimate elite who should replace the former ones.
