"Where money has its tyranny, the people have their Communist Party"
(Our main slogan for the elections)
------------------------------------
The people met in Ankara!
Last Sunday seemed to be a “colorful” day for Turkish politics. Many of the parties, which will enter the elections that will be held on November 3rd, organized meetings and rallies all over Turkey.
Also, Communist Party of Turkey organized a big rally in Ankara on Sunday, October 6th, with the participation of thousands of people. However Communist Party of Turkey is not one of those parties and the rally in Ankara was not one of those meetings, either. The party is quite different from the others as the rally is quite distinct from the others.
But how about the other parties and their meetings? Can one distinguish the parties or their meetings from each other?
Guler: “Two parties are entering the elections.”
So the fundamental question arises for this election again, as Aydemir Guler, the president of the Communist Party of Turkey, asked in his speech during the rally: Do we need all those parties entering the elections? Or how many parties are competing in the elections?
Guler replied very accurately: Two!
On the one side there are the parties, which supports NATO and EU and on the other side there is the party which says the membership of Turkey into NATO will end on the very same day that the party takes the power and also the same party declares that socialist Turkey is a more realistic target than that of EU member Turkey.
On the one side there are the parties, which make plans to pay off the debts of Turkey to IMF and on the other side there is the party which says they will held only one meeting with IMF in order to cancel all those debts in that meeting.
On the one side there are the parties, which favor and propose different ways for inclusion to US plans in Iraq and on the other side there is the party, which says strictly no to war in Iraq and refuse to go for any bargain on a war.
So Guler said: “The order confusing such a simple matter by organizing a 23-party election. This election will be between two parties.”
The president of Communist Party of Turkey called everyone in Turkey to simplify the subject and make a choice between the order parties and CP of Turkey, so vote either for the war or the peace, either for the poverty or a humane and pride life, either for paying huge amount of debts or socialist Turkey, which will cancel all the debts.
Okuyan: “CP of Turkey is the vanguard party that will lead the people during the revolution.”
The questions continued in the speech of Kemal Okuyan, the General Secretary of the Central Committee. Okuyan asked firstly if this order should be changed and he told that everybody even the bourgeois parties in Turkey have been complaining about the system. So everybody agrees on that issue.
However in his second question Okuyan asked how we would change this system and what its alternative was. He answered that answers are obvious: The system would change by a revolution and the alternative was socialism.
And he finalized his questions asking who would do this. His answer was again quite simple: Turkish and Kurdish peoples, within the leadership of the vanguard revolutionary party would do it and Communist Party of Turkey had this will. Okuyan called everyone for not only
voting for the party in the elections but also joining it for the socialist power.
Baba: “The poverty will be vanished during the socialist power.”
Suleyman Baba, the organizational secretary of Communist Party of Turkey, was also among the speakers and in his effective speech emphasized the conflicts in Turkey between the poor and the rich and stressed the fact that the rich is rich in the capitalism because of the fact that the poor exists.
Baba told that Communist Party of Turkey was the party of workers, poor peasants, intellectuals and students and the party would destroy this irrational system where some persons become rich by exploiting the others.
“Wherever money has its tyranny…”
The people have their communist party in Turkey.
And the rally held in Ankara on October 6th despite all the efforts of State to ban and obstruct the rally was the first meeting of Communist Party of Turkey in Ankara for the elections, in which Communist Party of Turkey is entering the elections for the first time in her 82-year history.
However all the speakers in the rally emphasized the point that the elections was only a step in the long struggle of Communist Party of Turkey against capitalism till the revolution and a good opportunity for organizing and political propaganda.
So Communist Party of Turkey will continue to struggle after November 3rd, even with a faster tempo…
But workers, peasants, students, intellectuals, thousands of people, who had joined the rally were well aware of this fact, while shouting:
“Paranin saltanati varsa, halkin TKP’si var!” *
“Yaþasýn Türkiye Komünist Partisi!” **
* Wherever money has its tyranny, the people have CP of Turkey!
** Long live Communist Party of Turkey!
