AMERICANISM AND PATRIOTISM CANNOT EXIST TOGETHER!
"In our world, where wars are replaced by peace over night, after
Kosovo it is the turn of the Middle East. This is because the USA
wants peace and stability in the Middle East and Turkey. After Cyprus,
it is the turn of the Kurdistan problem. The peace plan in the region,
which started together with the exile of Abdullah Ocalan from Syria,
is progressing towards its destiny slowly, step by step. On this
platform, the most important obstacle is the Kurdish problem, which
has to be resolved. You are free to call it what you want, either the
world gendarmerie, or the new world order. However, the fact is that
in this mono-polar world, the governing power does whatever it
wants. According to it, wherever there is a delicate matter, cleaning
up and rearrangement are required. It does these itself. Or else, it
is not possible to be the boss of the universe."
Yasar Kaya, The President of the Kurdish parliament at Exile (July 5,
1999, Ozgur Politika)
"Everybody has to know the following; we are not against the USA's
creating stability in the region according to itself . It may make
arrangements according to its own benefits... However, it will not be
approved if it sacrifices a people while realising this aim." Cemil
Bayýk, member of the PKK Presidential Council (June 20, 1999, Ozgur
Politika)
"If democracy is achieved, [Turkey] will become the most effective
power of the region. No obstacles remain on the way to European
Union. Those who are making plans against Turkey, will be running to
make alliances with it. The economy, which is at an impasse, is making
a recovery both inside and outside. Turkey is reaching the point where
it will be real power in the Balkans, Caucasus and the Middle Asia."
Abdullah Ocalan (June 25, 1999, Ozgur Politika)
There are three excerpts above. They speak on behalf of their
organisation. What is the relation between what is written and
declared in these statements, and revolutionism, nationalism, and the
interests and liberation of the Kurdish people? Is there no-one who
can explain and clarify these points? Leaving aside revolutionism and
socialism, is there no-one to say that THIS IS NOT NATIONALISM?
WHERE IS THE NATIONALISM IN THE ABOVE EXCERPTS?
WHERE IS THE REVOLUTIONISM?
WHERE IS LIBERATION?
The only meaning of these words is the confession of Americanism.
Here is surrender to US imperialism. Here is being dependent on it.
This is what we observe. This is what we understand both at the first
sight and also after a deep analysis.
Those who talk about the democratic republic.... Those who talk about
tactics... Those who are very fond of interpreting.... Are you not
going to explain what these have come to mean? Are you not going to
interpret these words?
Who is Yasar Kaya? The President of the Kurdish Parliament. What does
he say? That the USA is the master of the world and it has to be
complied with.
In that case, whose parliament is it? Is it the parliament of the
bourgeoisies, the landlords like TBMM (Grand National Assembly of
Turkey), or the parliament of the Kurdish nation including its
workers, villagers, officers, tradesmen, intelligentsia, and petit
bourgeoisie? Is this a parliament, which accepts the world
sovereignity of the USA, and perceives the to-be-established Kurdistan
as a neo-colony of USA? IF NOT, how is it that the Americanism of
someone talking on behalf of this parliament is being approved?
Cemil Bayýk is talking on behalf of the PKK.
What does he say? That the USA may do whatever it wants. Cemil Bayýk
is stating a drawback in the name of "defending the Kurdish nation."
If you do not harm the Kurdish nation, then you may do whatever you
want to the others. What profound internationalism!
Both during the trial and also in his other declarations, Ocalan has
quite often attacked the European countries and blamed them.
Nevertheless, another fact, which has been realised by everybody, is
that Ocalan has never mentioned the USA. Even though it was the USA
which delivered him to the Turkish oligarchy!
In return for what is the USA being protected?
Why, and in line with whose policies, have the others been opposed?
There is no answer.
The US solution is in process. Ocalan, the PKK Presidential Council,
and the PKDV are also defending this solution. Does anybody still
have any doubt?
The US solution is progressing step by step. The repentance law, local
administrations law, and radio-TV arrangements are on the
agenda. These will come true. But, first oppression... Or in the same
line, realising these part by part. The policy of the oligarchy has
not changed. They are planning to make use of Ocalan for this aim. If
Ocalan does not play his role or if they cannot suppress the PKK,
different policies will be put on the agenda, including the execution
of Ocalan.
The current process is in accordance with the US solution. Now, they
are creating public opinion. The trial, and the testimony and
behaviour of Ocalan were the means of creating public opinion. This
stage has been completed just as the USA wanted. The aim is to destroy
the revolutionary dynamics. The aim is the stability of the oligarchy
and imperialism.
The aim is to make the state eternal. Everything has been arranged in
accordance with this plan.
Whatever the USA does in the region, it will not be interfered with,
it will be obeyed.
But they do not stop here.
The "leader country of the region" theory, which is developed by
Ocalan and the Presidential Council, is in fact a part of obeying the
policies of the USA.
Cemil Bayýk tells it to do whatever it wants to the other peoples and
countries.
Ocalan and the other members of the Presidential Council offer to open
out together into the Middle East, Caucaus, the Balkans, and then to
exploit, and plunder other countries and peoples together. Just like
the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century. Let us remember what the PKK
Presidential Council member Duran Kalkan said:
"Turkey, somehow, has to overcome this old situation. It cannot remain
in its borders as in the 20th century. From now on, this will change,
it will open out into the exterior. If the correct methods are found,
this may result in a great development as in the 16th
century. However, if the correct methods are not found, the necessary
relations and alliances are not established, then this possibility of
development will be lost." (April 23-24 Ozgur Politika)
In the following, he said that Turkey has made alliance with the USA
and Israel, but that was not enough. It has to rely on the Kurdish
power as well.
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THESE THEORIES?
WHERE IS REVOLUTIONISM, ANTI-IMPERIALISM, AND PATRIOTISM?
WHERE ARE THE INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE IN THESE WORDS?
THEY DO NOT EXIST!
THESE WORDS DO NOT INVOLVE EVEN THE SLIGHTEST INTEREST OF PEOPLE!
THESE WORDS, IN THEIR MOST NAKED FORM, ARE THE DEFENSE OF THE
IMPERIALIST POLICIES.
These words clearly defend imperialism.
The PKK's opening out to the Balkans, Caucaus, and the Middle East
policy is in fact an appeal to the USA. It is the declaration of
obediance, once more from another point of view. Because the PKK
knows very well that Turkey applies the policy of the USA, and that it
is the subcontractor of the USA, especially in the regions listed.
Offering Turkey's oligarchy the role of leader of the region and then
to open out into such places means assuring the USA that it will apply
the policies of the USA in the region in its name. These are not just
comments. This is the clear meaning of what has been said.
WHO ARE WE? WHAT ARE WE? WHAT DO WE DEFEND? WHO DO WE DEFEND?
This is the question that everybody has to ask.
Putting patriotism, revolutionism and Americanism side by side, and
beating about the bush to theorise this, does not prove that you are a
theoretician but rather demonstrates a mentality which is ready to
defend counter-revolution.
Revolutionism is anti-imperialism.
Patriotism is anti-imperialism.
Anti-imperialism is, first of all, anti-Americanism.
Revolutionism is to continue with the war against imperialism UNTIL
THE LAST BREATH, even if US imperialism takes control of the whole
earth, and LEAVES THE REVOLUTIONARIES WITH NEITHER A PLACE TO MOVE NOR
A FIELD TO BREATHE.
