Hey!
I'm from Istanbul, the cradle of the revolutionary struggle in Turkey which vitalized with the blood gushing out of tens of thousands of nameless men and women from all ages and all nationalities.
I salute you, with the glowing memories of martyrs!
Some of you may not be familiar to the objective conditions of a Middle Eastern country or the struggle methods which are in use. Or maybe, some arrogantly say that this is a 'victim literature'. I respect the both. Still, my only concern is to reflect the facts, but only the facts because the facts are revolutionary. Nothing else.
Basically, I'm going to start with the substructure of the country without detailing it. Here in Turkey, both the feudalism and the capitalism can be witnessed across the country. Especially, feudalism in North Kurdistan and pervasive capitalist economic relations in the west side of the country. At the final analysis, the feudalism itself is a microeconomic fact which in real has no independency from the general economic status. The main conflict is in capitalist basis.
On the other hand, superstructurally as an Islamic society, both Turkish and Kurdish people are in dilemma between 'the new' and 'the old'
Approximately there are 150 groups in the broad left. The number may seem ridiculously too much; but many of these group still exist in few. Most of these groups call themselves Marxist-Leninist.
Currently, there are 3 parties sustaining the war in mountains with guerilla warfare methods. One of these parties is PKK (Kurdistan Worker's Party) as known as the Kurdish National Movement. The other two groups are the Maoist parties who look much like the same from outside. Over 20 years these two Maoist parties shared the same praxis, but in 1994 they permanently got separated. Both of them have guerillas in symbolic numbers. Kurdish National Movement has approximately 5,000 guerillas all over the territory.
In the cities, the one of the Marxist-Leninist groups is still sustaining the urban guerilla warfare. For the record, this group has the widest mass potential after Communist Party of Turkey.
Rest of the groups drifted through reformism, revisionism, parliamanterism and liquidation.
This is all for now.
