Veysi Aktaş: The Turkish left continues with the same old routine, not renewing itself
Leader Apo's message was read at the International Peace and Democratic Society Conference organized in Istanbul by the Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party).

The letter was read by Veysi Aktaş, who was released after spending 30 years in prison, the last 10 of which were in İmralı.

Speaking to Bianet, Aktaş responded to criticisms of the letter. He stated that the common problem stemming from the reaction from the government, as well as the left and socialists, is bigotry. He said, "Bigotry isn't just experienced on the right; it's also experienced on the left. This is one of the most fundamental problems facing the Turkish left. For this reason, a 'breakthrough' is impossible. Socialization is impossible, and those ideological molds can't be broken and established on a political basis."

'SOCIALISTS HAVE NO REASON TO SAY'

Aktaş, reminding that the letter draws attention to the crises experienced by the left not only in Turkey but also globally, stated the following: "There's no end to socialists' words. 'We've told the world what we had to say in the name of socialism, and that's it.' A socialist's words are endless. It's impossible for a socialist to experience political deadlock. Because they are based on society, they're based on truth. These assessments are an acceptance of the end or bankruptcy. The Turkish left, too, continues with this mentality, following the same rote, failing to renew itself. In fact, they're essentially holding onto a set of dogmas. They think that if they abandon these dogmas, they'll be swept away, they'll lose everything. That's why they cling to those dogmas so tightly. And they don't analyze them, they don't criticize them, they don't approach them with a free mind. The same rote is repeated over and over again.

WHY DON'T THE TURKS HAVE A HISTORY OF THE OPPRESSED?

Criticizing the Turkish left's understanding of history and calling for a self-critical approach, Aktaş said: “If they want to interpret the leadership correctly, they need to improve themselves in historical sociology. They need to read history correctly. They are strangers to their own history. Even within their own history, a 'history of the oppressed' hasn't yet been uncovered. Why don't the Turks have a history of the oppressed? They are constantly being imposed upon a hiPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

damn based anarchist

God the seething and the 'nooo why aren't you doing what I want you to do?!?' is off the charts here. Its depressing how far fallen the anarchist space has.
Fdpd

I will say, if anarchists were as willing to cooperate with le stalinists in the Spanish civil war as they were in Rojava, Franco would be living in a prison in Morroco.

>Why a focus on Rojava in 2024? Both because of random discussions, but also because the most widespread form of military-revolutionary mythology about Rojava has reappeared as an ideological support for an “anarchist” commitment to the war in Ukraine, going as far as to valorize the career paths of people who have gone from one war to another. On this occasion, a military commitment in Rojava is “naturally” presented as an authoritative justification for joining the Ukrainian troops “in any case”, the case being understood as a leftist or “anarchist” cause.

>The struggle in Chiapas since the 90s was– and to some extent remains – a banner for this matrix, although this does not coincide with its complex and contradictory reality, a serious analysis of which would take up too much space here. Anyway, a superficial and left-wing vision of Chiapas is often provided by the zealots of “Revolutionary Rojava” in support of their theses, notably on these issues: autonomy, territory, civil society, democracy without a State, participative governance, armed struggle, gender. All these elements need to be critically examined, but the very nature of the ideological matrix is to make them unchallengeable, in a fearsome machine that has seen considerable expansion about Rojava. Instead of talking about the fate of the insurrectional struggle of 2011 and beyond, instead of seeing the Kurdish national movement as antagonistic to that struggle, we are being fooled with the people, militarism-feminism, collaborative economy and the glorification of “civil society”, as if the latter were not the space par excellence of class collaboration, the other face of the State, its guarantor and pillar.

Yikes

You can't talk about anything here unless it's shitty boring xitter leftist consensus.

I think her view is insane but amusing and worth discussing. Mods here are literal dogshit in human form.

May suicidal ideation haunt the rest of your hopefully short lives mods.

This chick clearly has BPD. I can tell from her eyes.

>”doctors are COPS”
Pretty sure this is the exact same line of reasoning used by anti-vaxxers.

Did this girl take the covid vaccine if she’s so anti-doctor?

Can you finally accept that its your neighbors and friends that are voting for the Nazis instead of some shadowy foreign cabal that brainwashed your poor fellow Germans to be Nazis (again).

>Mayor Mamdani Unleashes the Wrath of Khan

Investment professionals who work on Wall Street may be in need of grief counseling—or at least a hug and a strong drink—as they try to cope with the fallout from November’s New York City mayoral election. It is not just that self-proclaimed democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani will soon occupy the Mayor’s office; it is also that he appointed former Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan to his transition team. Khan’s tenure at the FTC was marked by the abandonment of the “consumer welfare standard,” which judges a business's actions by how they affect consumers—which is the way businesses succeed or fail in the free market.

The consumer welfare standard guided antitrust policy from the Reagan years until the Biden presidency. Khan and her allies replaced it with a throwback to the “big is de facto bad” approach to antitrust policy. Khan also promoted what she called “holistic” antitrust which justified government intervention to stop—or at least delay—almost every merger, acquisition, or other business action that would have increased a company's market share, regardless of the impact on consumers.

During Khan's tenure as FTC Chair, the agency filed a record number of challenges to mergers, with a particular focus on the threat of “big tech.” Khan’s war against successful businesses made her a progressive superstar and public enemy number one among free-market conservatives, as well as centrist Democrats and the business community. For example, CNBC commentator and financial advisor Jim Cramer called Khan a “one woman wrecking crew.” Now, Khan will be influencing policy in the financial capital of the world.

Khan, speaking at a Pod Save America event, said that her work in the transition team was focusing on things like taking a full accounting of all of the laws and authorities that the mayor can unilaterally deploy. Reviewing rarely used laws was something Khan did while running the FTC. For instance, under her leadership, the FTC renewed its practice of sending “notices of penalty offenses.” These notices are sent to warn companies that they might be violating antitrust law. Until Khan's appointment, the FTC had not sent any such notices since 1999. During Khan’s tenure, the FTC issued thousands of them.

Khan also revived the Robinson-Patman Act. This New Deal-era law makes it illegal for distributors to offer discounts to large Post too long. Click here to view the full text.
