Edward Gierek's Economic Revival Movement (Polish: Ruch Odrodzenia Gospodarczego im. Edwarda Gierka, ROG) is a Polish left-wing party with a communist programme, referring to the ideology and legacy of Edward Gierek, the First Secretary of the Polish United Workers' Party in the 1970s and 1980s. It was founded on 17 December 2004 and registered in March 2005 by Paweł Bożyk, who was one of Gierek's economic advisors. The largest regional structures of the party are located in Zagłębie and Warsaw. ROG advocates Poland's active participation in the European Union while having friendly relations with the East, and the cessation of activities within NATO. It called for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.[5]

The party wants to uphold and continue the legacy of Edward Gierek, considering his variation of reformist communism to be the perfect economic system, avoiding the perceived pitfalls of earlier Communist Poland which was seen as overly bureaucratized, as well as the post-1991 capitalist system, which resulted in wealth inequality and is considered to have plunged the most vulnerable parts of society into poverty and economic instability. The party fiercely combats the view that Gierek heavily indebted Polish state, and stressed the need to restore the Gierek-era expansive welfare state. The party also wants to restore communist monuments and national symbols.[1]
