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]]).
