Turkey/DHKP/C The hoistory of our party III - completion

[english at ozgurlluk.xs4all.nl]

We had to go through more of these abuses and wrongdoings, caused by
the Devrimci Yol culture, in different ways. Furthermore, the left was
totally split in this period. Devrimci Sol had to occupy its place in
the political arena and we had to overcome the mentioned problems. We
had to proof that we would honour the name Devrimci Sol and that we
had a mission outside of the known left. We had to make this
difference clear in our way of life, way of work, our view about
actions, in everything.

We did not discover openness because of Gorbatsjov. We were a movement
which represented trust in our cadres, especially the young cadres,
and which saw collective participation as a way of education. Because
of this basis of trust we presented these conspiracy activities by
means of a brochure to our cadres and sympathisers. The conspiracy
gang called itself a "platform" a couple of months later, but they
were unable to draw people to their side. They were confronted by our
indignant cadres and sympathisers and suffered complete defeat. These
elements in our movement, trusting their charisma, rapidly started to
look for a safe harbour for themselves. One of them sought refuge with
Devrimci Yol, the other with Kurtulus Sosyalist Dergisi. And the third
one tried, thinking about his personal gain, to organise a gang to
make money fast by robberies, among others. However, this gang soon
dissolved because of internal conflicts. Later one of three returned
to civic society after a short while in prison and the other two chose
for a life in exile in Europe. The revolutionary build up of our
movement, our understanding of democracy and our policy of trust to
our cadres had proven themselves in practice and the cadres had had
the honour of making the movement their own. This feeling of unity
would accompany us through our history, it was to create a new spirit
and a new understanding against the internal and external enemy and
against all conspiracies. Our cadres and sympathisers, who went
through a test with this conspiracy, clearly showed that there was no
room in our movement for forming cliques and for conspiracies, that we
would crush them under all circumstances and that we would maintain
our ideological purity. This result became an important criterion as
well that makes clear to anybody, whatever the position within the
movement, who tries to divert the line of our movement to the right or
the left, who plans the formation of cliques and conspiracies, has no
chance of survival.

After the complete defeat of his conspiracy, the old-timer E. Kürkcü
kept his silence. Not recognising the reality of our movement, he had
to take the blow that he could not afford a second attempt and he
preferred to go through life as a petite-bourgeois intellectual. 

>From now on, Devrimci Sol possessed the strength to continue its path,
to overrun all the pacifists, bureaucrats and old-timers who's
revolutionary dynamics were gone, who were led by personal worries, to
overrun them in case they would attempt to force their rooted views
upon the young cadres and force the revolutionary movement to a
standstill.
