Korwin-Mikke represents libertarian, right-wing libertarian or libertarian-conservative positions and is a supporter of a free market economy without state intervention. The only legitimate tasks of the state are to protect the citizens from physical attacks, theft and fraud (minarchism). Armed forces, police and administration should only be maintained for these purposes and a low tax rate should be levied. All other state activities - such as welfare state institutions and redistribution - are an abuse of the state's monopoly on the use of force, and all taxes in excess of a strictly necessary minimum are theft.
Korwin-Mikke advocates the legalization of all drugs and child pornography if it is produced digitally without abusing children.
On the other hand, he represents socio-political conservative positions, rejects abortion, euthanasia, registered partnerships and gender equality. Korwin-Mikke openly represents homophobic, anti-Semitic and misogynistic positions.
He is also a supporter of the monarchy. He rejects democracy as "the stupidest form of government that has ever been devised" because in it "two bums in a beer stand have two votes, a university professor has one". This must inevitably lead to “stupidity, theft and corruption”. His thinking is shaped by social Darwinism.
He is an opponent of the European Union and in the 1990s called for Poland to join the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). More recently, he has advocated a rapprochement with Russia under the leadership of Vladimir Putin. On several occasions he drew attention outside of Poland when he called for the death penalty to be reinstated for serious crimes and flogging for minor crimes.
When Korwin-Mikke was asked in a television interview in 2014 about his attitude towards marital rape, he said that women only pretend to resist. The man must therefore know for himself when sexual intercourse is appropriate. This statement led to investigations by the Polish public prosecutor's office against him. He also stated that women are on average four to six IQ points less intelligent than men (varies nationally). He rejects the right to vote for women because women are not interested in politics anyway. On the other hand, he declared his admiration for Margaret Thatcher, who was a "strong and resolute leader".
Korwin-Mikke claims that the annihilation of European Jews was not Hitler's goal and there is no evidence that he knew about the Holocaust. It is "very likely" that Heinrich Himmler would have organized the extermination of the Jews without Hitler's knowledge. The efforts of Jewish activists to have property stolen during the war returned to them often represent a "Holocaust industry". Jews are "so proud of the six million people murdered in the Holocaust". If Adolf Eichmann had not sent the Hungarian Jews to the extermination camp, he could have been accused of anti-Semitism because the number of people murdered would then have been smaller. Four times the number of victims is said to have actually existed. He regards Jewish socialists, whom he calls "Judeosoc", as the most dangerous group of socialists because they are so intelligent. He calls them "our worst enemies". He cites Adam Michnik as an example. The television channel TVN and the newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza are their "breeding grounds". He also repeatedly referred to "Jewish Freemasonry" and "Jewish Communism" as his main political enemies. When it comes to taxation, Hitler's regime was less oppressive than today's democratic system.
Korwin-Mikke sees the People's Republic of China as a model of how capitalism can thrive in an authoritarian system. Since it is not democratic, it can be governed more effectively. While Poland was ruled by "communists" and Europe went bankrupt, Chinese capitalism was predatory and sane, leading to prosperity and improved living standards for its citizens. Korwin-Mikke justifies violence against citizens if it brings economic benefits. In retrospect, he assesses the outcome of the Tiananmen massacre positively, since China subsequently moved away from democracy and socialism, thus enabling sensible political and economic reforms.
He also advocates improved bilateral relations between Poland and Russia - whose government he praises - for mutual benefit. He justifies the annexation of Crimea by Russia and the Russian war in eastern Ukraine. In his view, it is not Russia that is responsible for the escalation, but rather the neo-imperialist efforts of the USA. He accuses them of deliberately provoking a war – even a Third World War – in order to reduce their over-indebtedness and avert bankruptcy.
He declared his support for Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian civil war and for Donald Trump in the 2016 US election campaign. Poland should adopt a neutral position in the East-West conflict between NATO and a Russian-led bloc, which Korwin-Mikke says will only widen and intensify.
