>>2652829MLKP's tentative attempt on the institutionalisation of the 'Rojava Revolution'
MLKP, which is mainly operative in Turkey, Iraq and Syria, is one of the early arrived Turkish-Leftist forces in Syrian territory. Since August 2012, the militant group has joined in decisive battles like Hasakah, Rasulayn, Tel Abyad and Tall Tamr. Under the banner of the International Freedom Battalion (IFB), the Turkish-Leftist group took part in combat operations in Sinjar and Tishrin Dam, as well.
In addition to supporting the 'Rojava Revolution,' the initial role of the MLKP was the politicisation of the idea of revolution and mobilisation of the masses.
With this aim, the militant organisation activated its manpower in areas ranging from agriculture policies to public health and trade. The main institutional bodies as vehicle of the development of the revolution were community centres/people houses ('Mala Gel') and the Institution for the Unity and Solidarity of the People (SYPG).
These bodies have contributed 'Rojava Revolution's' realisation in socialist character. The group emphasised the uniqueness of the revolution regarding the historical process, military progress and its core demands.
The 'Rojava Revolution,' according to the MLKP, encompasses both the social movement of the youth and women, beside trying to call for a class movement and nationalist, anti-imperialist demands. However, these claims advocated by the MLKP, have made the revolution ambiguous in character and made it seem like a tentative attempt to appeal to a broader audience.
As illustrated in the first congressional resolution of the group's political and military branch the MLKP Rojava, the implementation of the community and public assemblies system, the development of the collective public properties, the attribution of the revolutionary attainments to the poor, the popularisation of women and youth mobilisation and the revitalisation of the socio-cultural values, are determined as the essentials of this revolutionary model.
