The political situation in Poland after the instigation of martial law is evaluated as a case of "baroque" politics -- the exhaustion of possibilities & the extension of apolitical style until it becomes a caricature of itself. Polish socialism demonstrates traits of "oriental despotism," employing violence as a means of production. It is based not on utilitarian rationality, but on a specific, closed-form rationality of stabilization & subjugation, leading to circular reversions to Stalinism in party-army-bureaucracy relations, & spasmatic cycles of palace revolutions combined with renewed, hopeless attempts to artifically stimulate economic growth. Contradictions in the martial regime between the Communist Party & the military are explored, & the disintegration of the "terror machine" in Poland is analyzed. The current regime is seen as unable to create mediating structures to allow it to legitimate its rule with the populace; given this situation, it has no other choice but oriental despotism. J. Weber.
