The All-Polish Youth (Polish: Młodzież Wszechpolska) refers to two inter-linked Polish far-right ultranationalist[1][2][3][4][5] youth organizations, with a Catholic-nationalist philosophy. Its agenda declares that its aim is "to raise Polish youth in a Catholic and patriotic spirit".
The inter-war incarnation was created in 1922 as part of the National Democracy movement, and was modelled after the inter-war fascist movement Falanga.[6] During World War II it operated underground and was clamped down on the break of 1945/1946 by the Communist authorities.
The present incarnation was created on December 2, 1989. Its manifesto from 1989 states that "one's country is the greatest earthly good. After God, your foremost love belongs to the Homeland, and foremost after God you must serve your own country," and declares itself opposed to "doctrines promoting liberalism, tolerance, and relativism.
The All-Polish Youth was affiliated with the League of Polish Families (2001-2006), but was never officially its youth wing.[7] In the 21st Century it has been a fierce opponent of LGBT rights leading it to be widely condemned as homophobic by various organisations.
The All-Polish Youth has strong alliance with National Movement party, but is independent and not part of this party.[8]
