Magnates implies corrupt landlord class, who work against interest of Polish people of lesser means.

Not really.

The Magnates is a polish legacy, something that we should be proud of. But i guess people believe in the communist propaganda about the evul polish landlords and don't understand the importance of sucha families that could keep Polands prestige in the higher league.

Ukrainians lost millions of its intelligensia murdered (let tehy rest peacefully) by Russian and Soviet regimes, but we will recover sooner or later.


You will never recover because zilch will never become million.

I am not expecting you to turn into a million; you are not one of us.

What if the communists never hunted down the Polish nobles like Dogs. Would we have been better of with the rich Polish magnate families today economically/politically or not?

Well, aristocracy belongs to the past:)

Nope :)

We got plenty of them out here in Europe. The only difference is that the Polish aristocracy lost everything while the rest still got their estates and names.

That goes for all of them behind the Iron Curtain. And for example Austria banned all aristocratic titles in 1918.
