I've seen in my life parties beraying left and right Marx using his name, like the SPD in germany, and by that extension betraying socialism. but I've seen parties loyal to Marx in power, like Cuba, China, USSR, Vietnam and DPKR, staying loyal to soiclaism, too. I have never seen parties loyal to "socialism" once they go to the no-Marx-u-turn, you shitlib.
The PKK's historic resistance enters a new stage
On February 27, Abdullah Öcalan took a historic step with his ‘Call for Peace and a Democratic Society.’ He placed change and transformation at the forefront of the PKK's agenda. While the PKK announced that it would act in accordance with this call, Öcalan said, “The PKK should convene its congress, dissolve itself, and end the armed struggle.” The PKK then announced that it had held its congress between May 5 and 7.
On May 12, the PKK announced that it was ending its armed struggle in order to pave the way and lay the groundwork for new initiatives and organizations that would be much stronger and more ambitious than when the PKK was founded.
The PKK is taking the struggle it has waged for more than fifty years to a new stage. It will move toward new organizations and methods of struggle. The PKK and its struggle will not disappear or come to an end.
The resistance and organization led by the PKK for half a century has created a great deal of accumulated experience. Based on this experience, it will restructure itself in accordance with the new era. This requires a major change and transformation. As the Kurdish people and their organizations move toward change and transformation, Turkey and the region cannot remain the same. Turkey must also undergo change and transformation. Politically and legally, the Turkish state must position itself to include the Kurds.
If the state is to be the state of the Kurds as well, it must abandon denial and disregard and undergo intellectual and legal transformation. If the process is sabotaged or derailed, a return to conflict will inevitably follow.
Öcalan has taken on a historic responsibility. While the AKP government has not taken any serious steps or made any legal changes, Öcalan has taken on the responsibility of dissolving the PKK and abandoning armed struggle. We do not know whether those who govern Turkey will understand the importance and historical significance of this and act accordingly. For now, their statements appear positive. However, whether these will remain mere words or be put into practice remains to be seen.
If the Turkish state makes peace with the Kurds in Northern Kurdistan and recognizes their existence, this will naturally affect other parts as well, mainly Rojava and North-East Syria because the work, resistance, and organization in this region have been inspired by the ideas and struggle of Öcalan. We are talking about a region where Öcalan spent twenty years organizing. The Turkish state has relentlessly and multifacetedly worked to break Öcalan’s influence and eliminate the gains of the revolution, attacking, occupying, and forming alliances. A fierce war and siege took place in Rojava.
The Turkish state has always referred to these attacks and policies as “fighting against the PKK and terrorism.” However, in an environment where the PKK has been dissolved and the armed struggle has ended, there is no longer any justification for Turkey's hostility and attacks against Rojava. If Turkey applies the law of brotherhood to the Kurds within its borders, its insistence on hostility toward the Kurds in Syria would also lose its meaning. This is the natural course of events; Turkey must return to a policy of reconciliation and brotherhood with the Kurds abroad as well.
Öcalan’s project aims to maintain the solution in Turkey in other parts as well. His goal is the Democratic Kurdistan Union. In other words, the aim is not to establish a separate state or federation, but a democratic union. This solution is also in the interests of other states. Thus, the Kurdish issue will cease to be a source of conflict and tension in the region. The path to peace and democratic transformation in the region will be opened. Here, no one will lose; on the contrary, everyone will gain.
Öcalan’s solution also encompasses the democratization of the Middle East. However, we do not know whether this solution will be implemented or whether Turkey will return to its familiar policies. In Syria, the Turkish government does not view the Kurds as an ally; it has chosen to side with HTS (Hayat Tahrir al-Sham). For months, it attacked the Tishrin Dam and other regions. Its goal was to completely take over North and East Syria and eliminate autonomy. Whether it will change its stance remains unclear.
The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria and revolutionary forces should not be overcome by languor just because the attacks have stopped for now and there is a certain softening. This is because Turkey has not disbanded the armed groups and mercenaries it gathered under the name SNA (Syrian National Army). The people of Afrin still cannot return to their land. Turkey continues to negotiate with regional states to remove the SDF and autonomy and to bargain with powers such as the US.
For this reason, both the government and the people must continue to strengthen their self-defense and remain prepared for any eventuality.

My work for women is an unfinished project.
When I was first brought to Imrali Island, I said, "My work for women is an unfinished project." This work is now complete, and all that remains is to realize it.
The struggle for women's freedom has created a very important legacy. This legacy has come to us today through the sacrifice of thousands of Şehîds/martyrs and has created an important value. It should be known that I have always wanted women to live and to keep being alive, and every loss has always caused me pain. They called me “the son of the goddess.” I always wanted to be a son worthy of women. This determined my fundamental principle of struggle. I developed the “principle of hope” for women. I said that every woman should be liberated. I also educated myself as a man according to ethical and aesthetic standards shaped by the measure of freedom.
The fundamental principle of socialism is women's freedom
I said that the fundamental principle of socialism is women's freedom. The measure of a man's socialism is his ability to live correctly with women. This is the fundamental principle of socialism. Throughout history, this principle has always been lacking in socialist experiences. If the relationships of all the leading figures, from Marx to Stalin, from Mao to Lenin, with women are examined closely, this truth will be better understood.
My unfinished project also took shape with Jineoloji. I wanted to define the women's issue correctly with this theory and concept. As Buddha said, “You can't do anything without removing the dagger from society's back.” Yes, society has many problems, but the dagger in its back is women's slavery, and you can't solve any problem without removing that dagger.
Jineoloji has made significant progress toward this goal. Valuable effort has been dedicated to it. Now, this effort must gain further meaning with the new process. The correct definition of women's existence and women's identity must be addressed using the method of identity.
As Simone says, “One is not born a woman, one becomes a woman.” The constructed female identity must be purged of sexist elements. Women must focus on this. As V. Woolf said, women must have a room of their own. They must think about themselves and be able to construct themselves. I say this knowing how difficult it is to be a woman. It is difficult for women to construct themselves freely while they constantly live under a patriarchal rape culture. But I don't know if women feel this burning truth as painfully and angrily as I do. With this anger, I renew myself intellectually every day, produce solutions, and live for women to be able to live freely. This is how the meaning of life becomes real for me.
I struggled and worked hard to transform men and liberate women and society
Feminists question why there is a man at the head of the Kurdish women's movement. They are right; I wish women had achieved this leadership. I would have wanted that too. Unfortunately, this leadership has not yet emerged, not only in the Kurdish movement but in general. I have constantly developed projects and theories on how a free woman should be; I have developed the women’s liberation ideology and Jineoloji, and I have turned it into an organized force. I have struggled and worked hard to transform men and liberate women and society. I did this to be a son worthy of the goddesses. I expect them to understand me correctly with this truth.
I know that women will take the lead in the “peace and democracy” process we are trying to develop. They own more than half of the successes achieved so far. I believe they will continue to take the lead, and I say that I will continue to live with you and be with you as much as you need me."

interesting story:
MIT administrators arrested by the PKK speakFootage of MİT administrators Erhan Pekçetin and Aydın Günel’s capture in Dûkan, Suleymaniye on August 4, 2017 had been published on ANF yesterday. The footage showed the MİT administrators and the MİT members they had accompanying them going into the region for an operation and being led and trapped in a counter-operation.
Turkish state officials and media continued their silence despite video evidence of MİT’s “Foreign Ethnic Separatist Activity” Director Erhan Pekçetin and MİT Human Resources Director Aydın Günel's moment of capture, while Erdoğan’s “holders of secrets” sing like birds. In the statement issued on January 3, the KCK had said many networks in Kurdistan and abroad had been crushed in light of information provided by the MİT officials.
The MİT administrators captured in HPG’s “Martyr Sakine Cansiz Revolutionary Revenge Operation” counter-intelligence operation first talk about who they are, what their roles are and how they were captured.
<MIT ADMINISTRATORS: “PKK ARRESTED US”In the footage we have obtained, the MİT administrators Erhan Pekçetin and Aydın Günel declare their names and positions. They say they were arrested by the PKK and are held in “an unknown location, in a prison they don’t know the name of”. Pekçetin and Günel also add that they weren’t subjected to any kind of mistreatment after their arrest.
<WHAT HAD HAPPENED?The two MİT administrators had travelled to Suleymaniye in Southern Kurdistan to organize MİT’s plan to abduct or assassinate KCK administrators and had been captured by the HPG Special Forces on August 4, 2017.
As a result of operations deepened by information provided by the captured MİT administrators and continued for 5 months, many MİT networks in Başûr (the South), Rojava and Bakurê Kurdistan were collapsed, and many of their dirty plans against Kurds and opposition members were voided.
As the Turkish state and media continued their silence on the MİT administrators held by the PKK for the last 5 months, KCK issued a written statement on January 3 and shared the photographs and identity information of the captured MİT administrators.
<INFORMATION PROVIDED BY MİT ADMINISTRATORSThe following excerpt from the KCK statement showed the scale of the operation: “As part of this operation launched in August 2017, MİT’s institutional structure, organization, members, headquarters, residences, foreign and domestic networks, and agents who infiltrated states and organizations have been exposed for the most part. The Paris Massacre, assassinations in Rojava and many other actions and illegal secret questioning houses have been discovered. Identities of MİT members in Europe, Rojava, Başurê Kurdistan, Bakurê Kurdistan and Turkey, their operatives and their local information sources have also been unearthed. A significant portion of these agents and operatives have been arrested in special operations. In many areas, the MİT’s organization network has been dealt deadly blows. With new information and documents in each arrest, the operations spread and have resulted in the practical paralyzing of both domestic and foreign MİT efforts.”
<BAYIK: “WE MAY PUBLISH THE INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTS”KCK Executive Council Co-chair Cemil Bayık spoke to Stêrk TV on the captured MİT members and said: “As this special psychological war continued in Imrali, the fascist Turkish state wanted to see some results and organized the Paris massacre. The order was given by Erdoğan personally and Hakan Fidan committed this massacre with the MİT.” Bayık stated that they have a lot of information in the operation in question and that this information will be shared with the public in the future.

The cabinet meeting chaired by AKP Chair and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the Presidential Complex in Beştepe has concluded. Speaking afterward, Erdoğan drew attention to the National Solidarity, Brotherhood and Democracy Commission established in Parliament in the context of the Kurdish peace process.
"Last week, a meaningful step was taken on the path toward this goal," Erdoğan said, adding: "This commission, established with the participation of opposition parties, is highly valuable in terms of ensuring that our Parliament, the embodiment of the national will, takes ownership of the process. We are pleased to see this ownership taking place. Another promising development was that the commission’s decisions were taken unanimously. We hope this constructive approach will continue."
Emphasizing unity and solidarity, Erdoğan said: "This state belongs to each and every one of the 86 million people, Turk, Kurd, Arab alike." He continued: "We are all rightful owners of the Republic of Turkey. Even though our lifestyles, political views, and ideas differ, this fact does not change. In a matter that concerns the peace and future of all 86 million people, we value everyone’s support, contributions, and constructive criticism. A window of opportunity has opened for Turkey. The price of wasting it would be heavy. The commission will fulfill its duties in line with our nation’s expectations. We are giving it every possible support."
Erdoğan noted that last Friday, the Ministers of National Defense and Interior, along with the Head of the National Intelligence Organization (MİT), had given a comprehensive briefing to the commission members, and he called on everyone: "Let’s stop the bloodshed together, let’s ease the pain and wipe away the tears."
Güleryüz: Commission is the state’s first concrete step since last October
The Grand National Assembly of Turkey’s (TBMM) National Solidarity, Brotherhood and Democracy Commission decided in its second meeting, by unanimous vote, to hold the session behind closed doors and to withhold the minutes from publication for ten years. In the first meeting, the commission’s name was changed, and its 12-article rules of procedure were also unanimously adopted.
The commission will continue its work until 31 December 2025. Mahfuz Güleryüz, Deputy Co-Chair of the Peoples’ Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party), responded to questions on how the party assessed the commission’s first meeting and what they expect from it in the coming period.
Güleryüz stated that the primary expectation of the commission was to take steps toward legal regulations that would serve as a “road clearance” function. He also commented on the Peace and Democratic Society meetings the DEM Party has been organizing in the field, noting that there is immense public trust in Abdullah Öcalan.
It is important for the commission to have a pluralistic structure
Mahfuz Güleryüz described the commission as a historic step despite some shortcomings, emphasizing that its pluralistic structure is also of great importance: “We see the formation of the commission as a very important stage in terms of the process, because it is the first officially established body in Turkey’s history to seek a solution to the Kurdish question. In this respect, we truly consider it historic. Of course, during the process of its formation, we made various proposals. For example, we suggested that it be established by law, rather than as a commission formed under the initiative of the Speaker of Parliament. Despite such shortcomings and inadequacies, we regard the establishment of the commission as an important phase in Turkey.
The speech made by Mr. Numan on the occasion of the commission’s opening was significant and historic, especially in terms of its reference points. For instance, citing Nazım Hikmet, Ehmedê Xanî, and Mehmet Akif can be considered a recognition and acceptance of the pluralism of this society, as such references have never before been made in such an official meeting. Of course, in the past, Tayyip Erdoğan or various state officials have made similar references; there are such examples. But the fact that these references were made in a meeting of a commission established to address the solution of the issue, and in the presence of that commission, was important.
Furthermore, it was extremely important for the commission to have a pluralistic structure. Abdullah Öcalan’s statements on this subject also emphasized the need for the commission to have such a character. As the DEM Party, we also proposed that the commission must include all the colors and representations of the parliament. In this respect, it was very positive.
Yes, one or two parties chose to stay out of this process. It would have been better if they had participated and all parties had been involved; but almost every party in parliament took part. Therefore, we need to assess it from a perspective that does not ignore this fact. From these and similar points of view, we believe that the commission will serve an important function, conduct significant work, and make a valuable contribution to resolving the Kurdish question and to the democratization of Turkey. This is our expectation.”
<The process has begun to take some concrete form
Güleryüz said the commission could be considered the most concrete step the state has taken since the process that began on 1 October, and outlined the DEM Party’s expectations from it: “We can consider the establishment of the commission in this process as the first concrete step taken by the state in the period that began with the 1 October process. In this sense, we can say that the process has begun to take on some concreteness.
The commission has set out its working principles and declared them to the public. What matters is that this is carried out in a sound manner. If it is, we understand that it will not be a structure made up solely of those who are members of the commission. There is also the view that sub-commissions, various working groups that can operate under the commission, should be established. If such a decision is made and these groups are formed, they will be able to carry out preparatory and reform-oriented work on a range of issues, starting with the Kurdish question and including all anti-democratic practices.
We do not consider the Kurdish question to be an issue that can be solved overnight; we know it will not happen that way. We have no naive or fanciful approach. But there are certain prerequisites for resolving this issue. Until now, neither Abdullah Öcalan nor his Movement has spoken about conditions or preconditions. Addressing the matter on this basis is correct; however, the process must operate within democratic norms and must work on problematic areas, demonstrating the will to do so. If this happens, the commission can show the determination to resolve this intricate, century-old problem that has marked Turkey’s history.
Therefore, as we approach the new legislative year, our expectation from the commission is that the first stage should be to pass laws that could serve as a ‘road clearance’ for resolving this issue. In fact, the first step should be to amend regulations and bylaws. Because, whether we like it or not, there is a constitution and laws; but in recent years, especially through regulations and bylaws, even these have been nullified and rendered ineffective. A governance mechanism based entirely on arbitrariness has emerged. The first step must be to eliminate these. The rulings of the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) must be implemented. Above all, we expect the necessary changes in laws and statutes to be made as soon as possible, and we hope these will be completed before the new legislative year begins.”
<There is immense public trust in Öcalan
Mahfuz Güleryüz also commented on the trend that emerged during the Peace and Democratic Society meetings they have been holding with the public for some time: “Following Mr. Öcalan’s seven-point call, announced after the meeting on 28 December, we organized nearly 40 central meetings. The main goal of those meetings was to reach, first and foremost, our own administrations and the active working members of our party, in order to discuss Mr. Öcalan’s call directly with them. As a result, we completed this phase with around 5,000 participants.
The second phase began immediately after Mr. Öcalan’s statement on 27 February. In that phase, we held 101 meetings, bringing together approximately 55,000 to 60,000 people. The aim in those meetings was to convey Mr. Öcalan’s 27 February statement and call to society, reaching both our own structures and all segments of the broader public. This program targeted labor and professional organizations, democratic mass organizations, political parties, regional associations, and more. We aimed to carry this process to all social dynamics, starting with our party’s structures.
The third phase began particularly after the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), in response to Mr. Öcalan’s call, convened its congress, declared the end of the armed struggle, and announced its dissolution. In this period, we held 2,000 meetings and, within this framework, engaged with 250,000 people. These meetings were aimed at embracing all social dynamics, turning this process into a broad social consciousness, and transforming organized struggle accordingly. We carried these discussions not only to city centers but also to districts, neighborhoods, villages, hamlets, and even homes, explaining the process extensively.
This was not only carried out by the DEM Party but also actively involved nearly all democratic institutions: all components of Kurdish politics, women’s organizations, the association of families of prisoners, the association of families of the disappeared, cultural institutions, legal organizations in short, all institutions we define as democratic, along with their administrators and members. They all took part in this process and tried to fulfill the requirements of this historic responsibility. In this respect, it was truly a historic process.
Two particularly striking points emerged from these meetings. The first was the immense trust the public had in Mr. Öcalan. We saw once again, in a striking way, the immense trust in Mr. Öcalan. For us, this was not a surprise; but for Turkish society and the political establishment, witnessing this determination and the power behind this will came as a shattering experience. It is safe to say this openly. The people clearly expressed both their trust in Mr. Öcalan and their commitment to stand behind his will. There was no contradiction in this regard. However, there was also an immense distrust toward the state and its mechanisms.
For instance, representatives from almost every political party asked, “Do you really believe that a government which has committed so many wrongs would genuinely want to solve a colossal issue like the Kurdish question?” We were met with questions, expressed with deep concern and suspicion, such as: “Is this part of a deception, an attempt by Tayyip Erdoğan to secure his re-election in 2028 through a constitutional change?”
Our position on all of this was expressed very clearly. This is not a matter of elections or constitutional bargaining. This is about resolving an issue that has marked an entire century of Turkey’s history and stands at the forefront of all its societal problems. That is our approach, that is our goal. We have explained at length to our society that we will not enter into any bargaining process with anyone on this matter, and that our stance and position are firm.
It was an intense and lengthy period of work for us, but it was also highly instructive and enriching. We came out of this process with great morale. This is because the desire for peace is not only persistent among Kurdish society but also strongly present in Turkish society. It is very clear that no one is taking a negative stance on this issue. This has made us very happy. It has also become evident that our efforts, our work, and the plans we made in this regard were by no means empty.’’
Three new members appointed to parliamentary commission
Several political parties in the Turkish parliament have nominated new members for three vacant seats on the “Commission for National Solidarity, Fraternity, and Democracy,” which became vacant following the withdrawal of the IYI party from the body. The names have been submitted to the parliamentary speaker’s office.
The AKP nominated its former deputy parliamentary group leader and MP from Denizli, Cahit Özkan, for the commission, while the CHP proposed MP Umut Akdoğan from Ankara as a new member. The DEM Party named Istanbul MP Celal Fırat as another member.
With the appointment of these new members, the commission is now complete. The commission currently consists of a total of 48 members from various parties. Twenty-one members are from the AKP, ten from the CHP, four from the DEM Party, four from the MHP, and three from the New Path bloc. Further seats are held by members of the HÜDA PAR (1), the New Welfare Party (1), the TIP (1), the EMEP (1), the Democratic Left (1), and the DP (1).
The upcoming meetings of the commission, which is working on a political solution to the Kurdish question and the democratization of Turkey, are expected to put the next steps in the PKK disarmament process and legal regulations to promote social peace on the agenda. The next meeting is scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday.
>>2428307This is why you don’t become an Anarchist kids, if the PKK stayed Marxist-Leninist, or even better, embraced the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the highest stage of Marxism, they would still be fighting to create a Independent Socialist “People’s Republic of Kurdistan”, which would become a Kurdish SSR of the Global USSR created by the World Maoist PPW after the inevitable World War III between the U$ and China escalates into a Global Nuclear War that destroys the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System, thus placing the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism (The Map I posted specifically shows the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR in the Middle East/West Asia, with the difference between it and the Map of the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR I typically post being that I added Hatay and Arabistan to the Arab SFSR, tweaked the borders of the Kurdish SSR to fully align with the Ethno-Linguistic results of the 1965 Turkish census, merged Nagorno-Karabakh into the Azeri SSR due to the unfortunate Ethnic cleansing of the Ethnic Armenians there, and merged the Tajik SSR and Hazara SSR into the Persian SSR, with the latter becoming an ASSR within it, and it is also worth noting that the North African portion of the Arab SFSR is not shown here because Mapchart doesn’t let me zoom in with the key on both West Asia and North Africa so I chose to show the former), but unfortunately the PKK foolishly embraced the Infantile Anarchist ideology of Bookchinite “Democratic CUCKfederalism”, which rejected the National Liberation/Self-Determination of the Kurdish Nation in a Independent Socialist Kurdish State, and instead wanted some retarded hippie Commune, and have now gone full mask off in their CUCKOLDRY, and have surrendered to the Fascist Turkish State, and have pathetically/tragically condemned the Oppressed Kurdish Nation to further Genocidal subjugation under Turkish rule, so the only hope for the Oppressed Nation of Kurdistan under Genocidal Fascist Turkish occupation is for them to embrace the Maoist PPW being waged by the TKP/ML who despite their Multiethnic membership (both Kurds and Turks are members), support the National Liberation/Self-Determination of Kurdistan in a Kurdish SSR, due to them upholding the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist principle of Self-Determination for all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️!
