'''Gomułka Thought''' refers to the political line of Władysław Gomułka, leader of Poland's PZPR (1956–1970): "national communism" — socialism adapted to Polish conditions, church coexistence, agricultural collectivization abandoned, and periodic assertion of independence from Moscow, within unbreakable bloc loyalty.

== Course ==
* Gomułka, imprisoned under Stalinism, returned in the Polish October (1956) on a platform of national reform; the crisis was defused with Khrushchev's grudging acceptance.
* His rule combined genuine peasant-friendly policy and early liberalization with later reaction: the anti-Zionist campaign of 1968, suppression of the 1970 Baltic coast shipyard strikes (dozens killed), which ended his rule.
* Succeeded by Gierek (consumerism on borrowed Western credit), then the crisis that produced Solidarity.

== Analytical use ==
The Polish case poses the recurring question of '''national roads to socialism''': how much autonomy from the socialist camp is healthy independence, and where does it become the thin end of restoration? Infrared treats Gomułka as an intermediate case — less liquidationist than Prague 1968, more genuine than Husákism — but notes the pattern: each national deviation was stabilized by Soviet guarantee while its social base (the private peasantry, the Church) grew into the restorationist bloc of 1980-89 (see [[Socialism With a Human Face]], [[Taistoism]]).
