Rusya’da yaşanan ve ülkeyi bir iç savaşın eşiğine getiren kriz NATO’nun Rusya ve Çin devletlerine diz çöktürme stratejilerinin, bu rejimlerin restorasyoncu egemenleri tarafından durdurulamayacağını göstermiştir. Savaşa karşı savaşması gereken dünyadaki tüm ezilenler ve emekçilerle omuz omuza veren Rusya, Çin proletaryası ile enternasyonal proletaryadır.

La actual crisis en Rusia, que en cierto momento estuvo al borde de una guerra civil, ha demostrado que el impulso imperialista de la OTAN para llevar a los estados ruso y chino a la sumisión y servidumbre no puede ser detenido por las fuerzas dominantes de los regímenes restauracionistas. ¡Son las fuerzas del proletariado ruso, chino e internacional, junto con todos los trabajadores y los oprimidos del mundo los que tienen que hacer la guerra contra la guerra!

The current crisis in Russia, which at a certain point came close to the brink of a civil war, has shown that NATO’s imperialist drive for bringing the Russian and Chinese states to submission and servitude cannot be stopped by the ruling forces of the restorationist regimes. It is the forces of the Russian, Chinese and international proletariat, together with all laborers and the oppressed of the world that have to wage war against war!

Cumhurbaşkanlığı ikinci tur oylaması ile sona eren seçim sürecine damgasını vuran gerçek, sınıf çelişkilerinin üstünün örtülmesi ve kimlik temelli saflaşmanın hâkim olmasıdır. Ekonomik krizin yakıcı şekilde yaşandığı, geniş kitlelerin hayat pahalılığı karşısında giderek yoksullaştığı bir süreçte Erdoğan ve müttefiklerinin dikkatlerin sınıfsal sorunlardan başka yerlere çekilmesinde çıkarı olduğu açıktır. Millet İttifakı etrafında kümelenen muhalefet de sermayenin sınıf çıkarlarına bağlı olduğu için istibdad cephesiyle aynı oyunu oynamıştır. Bundan avantaj sağlayan tabii ki istibdad cephesi olmuştur.

The concealment of class contradictions and the dominance of identity-based polarizations have marked election process that ended with the run-off of Presidential Elections. That Erdoğan and his allies have vested interests in distracting the people from class issues in a time period where economic crisis is felt burningly and large masses are increasingly impoverished in the face of rising costs of life is obvious. The opposition that has grouped around the Nation Alliance, bound to the class interests of capital as they are, played the same game as the front of despotism. This of course proved advantageous for the latter.

Οι «πιο σημαντικές εκλογές της χρονιάς» (τάδε έφη The Economist, αμέσως μετά το δεύτερο γύρο των Τουρκικών εκλογών) τελείωσαν. Στο τέλος του δεύτερου γύρου ο Ρετζέπ Ταγίπ Ερντογάν κέρδισε με αρκετές ποσοστιαίες μονάδες (52 τοις εκατό έναντι 48 τοις εκατό) τον Κεμάλ Κιλιτσντάρογλου (θα συντομεύσουμε και τα δύο ονόματα, το πρώτο ως RTE και το δεύτερο ως KK, και οι δύο συντομογραφίες είναι πολύ κοινές στην τουρκική λαϊκή πολιτική). Ο KK παραδέχτηκε την ήττα του περίπου τέσσερις ώρες μετά το κλείσιμο των εκλογικών τμημάτων. Αυτό υποδηλώνει ότι η αντιπολιτευτική Εθνική Συμμαχία που υποστήριξε τον KK, ηγέτη του Ρεπουμπλικανικού Λαϊκού Κόμματος, για Πρόεδρο της Δημοκρατίας δεν θα υποβάλει ένσταση για σοβαρές παρατυπίες. Τέτοιες παρατυπίες έχουν γίνει οικογενειακή υπόθεση στη διάρκεια της 21χρονης διακυβέρνησης του ΑΚΡ και έτσι η ανακάλυψη κάθε είδους επώδυνων σημείων δεν πρέπει να εκπλήξει τις επόμενες ημέρες. Ωστόσο, φαίνεται ότι τουλάχιστον προς το παρόν, δεν υπάρχουν κραυγαλέες νοθεύσεις του τύπου που συνέβησαν, για να αναφέρουμε το πιο διάσημο παράδειγμα, κατά το συνταγματικό δημοψήφισμα του 2017.

Erdoğan seçimi kazanmasına kazandı ama depremin enkazının üzerine bir de ekonomik enkaz ekledi. Uyguladığı seçim ekonomisi krizin belirtilerini ertelemeye yönelikti. Ölümcül hastaya ağrı kesici ya da düpedüz morfin vermek gibi. Hastalığın belirtileri geçici olarak hafifletildi ama hastalığın kendisi ilerledi. Erdoğan’ın emekçi halka ödetmeye hazırlandığı kabarık bir fatura bizleri yani işçileri, emekçileri, küçük esnafı ve köylüyü bekliyor. Tahsilat memuru olarak emperyalist finans çevrelerinin gözdesi ve bizzat kendisi de İngiliz vatandaşı olan Mehmet Şimşek çoktan göreve çağrıldı.

Erdoğan may have won the elections, but he still has in his hands an economy in ruins, on top of the ruins from the recent earthquake. We, the workers, toilers, small businesses and peasants, will be burdened with the price that Erdoğan gets ready to make us pay. The debt collector is already recruited: a darling of imperialist financial circles and a British citizen to boot, Mehmet Şimsek.

So, the “most important election of the year” (dixit The Economist) is over. At the end of the second round, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan won by several percentage points (52 per cent to 48 percent) against Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu (we will abbreviate both names, the former as RTE and the latter as KK, both abbreviations being very common in Turkish popular political writing.) KK conceded defeat around four hours after the polling stations closed. This suggests that the opposition Nation Alliance that supported KK, the leader of the Republican People’s Party, for president of the republic, will not file for grave irregularities. Such irregularities have become a household matter under the 21-year rule of the AKP and so the discovery of all kinds of sore spots should not surprise in the coming days. However, it seems that, at least for the moment, blatant rigging of the type that occurred, just to cite the most famous example, during the constitutional referendum of 2017 are not present.

The May 14th elections were conducted under an oppressive regime that manipulated election laws and used state resources to suppress the opposition. Despite the regime's advantages, it failed to secure a majority, indicating a decline in approval for the ruling party. However, the opposition aligned with the status quo and lacked a strong class-based approach, preventing a complete break from the ruling front. The regime's economic policies and propaganda were effective in dividing the masses. The absence of a political force based on the working class remains a crucial factor. Socialists' support for the opposition resulted in a reactionary bloc entering parliament, endangering democratic principles. The Revolutionary Workers Party emphasizes the need for class politics and warns against delaying its implementation for the sake of the status quo.

Стремление США и других стран капиталистической метрополии сохранить существующую систему глобального капитализма и свое политическое, экономическое и военное господство на планете является истинной причиной тщательно подготовленной и ведущейся Западом против России войны на Украине, фактически являющейся начальной стадией Третьей мировой войны.

Le désir des États-Unis et d'autres pays de la métropole capitaliste de préserver le système actuel du capitalisme mondial et sa domination politique, économique et militaire sur la planète est la véritable cause de la guerre soigneusement préparée et menée par l'Occident contre la Russie en Ukraine, qui est en fait le stade initial de la Troisième guerre mondiale. Les États-Unis, leurs alliés et leurs vassaux, en particulier les pays de l'OTAN, sont principalement responsables de l'augmentation des tensions internationales, du terrorisme, de la course aux armements, de la menace de guerres, y compris les interventions humanitaires, et des coups d'état, y compris militaires.

The aspiration of the United States and other capitalist metropolis countries to preserve the existing system of global capitalism and their political, economic and military dominance on the planet is the true reason for the carefully prepared and waged war by the West against Russia in Ukraine, which is actually the initial stage of the Third World War. The United States, its allies and vassals, primarily the NATO countries, bear the main responsibility for the increase in international tension, terrorism, the arms race, the threat of wars, including so-called humanitarian interventions, and state, including military, coups. The threat of new wars will be eliminated only with the elimination of global and any other capitalism, as a result of its revolutionary transformation into communism.

Finally, yesterday, Thursday 16 March, the government passed its pension reform by using again article 49-3* of the constitution.
The government had to resort to this anti-democratic article because it was not sure it could gather a majority in parliament.
This is not just another step in Macron's anti-democratic offensive but a continuation of a parliamentary process that has been accumulating, and in so doing, greatly amplifying a deep political crisis that has lasted for many years. We have long been on the verge of a rupture. It seems closer today than at any time since the Vichy regime.
