This year is the tercentennial of Immanuel Kant's birth (1724-1804). On the occasion of this significant anniversary, a longtime friend and comrade of RedMed from Romania, Ana Bazac, has written a wide-ranging study on the relevance of Kant's world-renowned ethical principle, the categorical imperative, for revolutionary politics. This study does not only leave no stone unturned with respect to Kant's maxim, but also delves practically into contemporary world politics, raising questions and providing answers on concrete events of our epoch such as the wars in Ukraine and Gaza (the latter more and more becoming a war of the Middle East at large). As a matter of fact, Ana Bazac wrote an article in four instalments and submitted them for publication on RedMed, but in the end agreed to have these published in their integrity as a unified article with the title "Relevance of Kant's Categorical Imperative for Revolutionary Politics" in the theoretical journal Revolutionary Marxism 2025, published on behalf of the Revolutionary Workers Party (DIP) by an autonomous editorial board. The journal is supposed to bring out its annual edition before the year it bears in its title is out, but...
На Шиар Ришваноглу, член на Револуционерната работничка партија (DIP) од Турција, фашистички групи му се закануваат преку порака оставена на неговиот автомобил во неговиот роден град Адана, втор пат после 2020 година.
Шиар Ришваноглу е некогашен општински кандидат на коалицијата на социјалистички и курдски сили, анти-империјалист, социјалист, адвокат и непокорлив борец кој се соочува со закани по живот. Следува превод од соопштение на турски јазик кое беше објавено од страна на Централниот Комитет на DIP веднаш по заканата.
“Əqsa tufanı” əməliyyatının üzərindən bir ildən artıq müddət keçdi.
Bu müddət Ərzində İsrail Qəzzada 17 mini uşaq olmaqla, 40 mindən çox insan qətlə yetirib. İsrailin hədəfində mütəmadi olaraq xəstəxanalar, qaçqın düşəgrələri, təhsil müəssisələri və digər sivil baza və infrastrukturlar olmuşdur. Bu yazının yayımlandığı tarixlərdə İsrail qida paylama mərkəzini atəşə tutmuş, Əl Əqsa hospitali ərazisindəki çadır düşərgəsini vurmuşdur.
Ötən 1 ildə dünya ölkələrində ictimai rəyin birmənalı olaraq Fələstin xalqının yanında olmasına baxmayaraq ABŞ və qərb ölkələri başda olmaqla əksər burjua hökumətləri dəstəyini bilavasitə soyqırımçı İsraildən yana ifadə etdi. ABŞ-də seçki prosesi yaxınlaşdıqca Demokratlar və Respublikaçılar hansı tərəfin daha yaxşı Sioinist olması barədə sanki yarışa qoşulmuşdular. Sözügedən ölkələrdə xalqın dəstəyi nə qədər artırdısa, xalqa qarşı dövlət sanksiyası da o qədər şiddətlənməyə başlamışdı.
Μέλος του Επαναστατικού Εργατικού Κόμματος της Τουρκίας (DIP), ο Σιάρ Ρισβάνογλου, δικηγόρος, απειλήθηκε από φασιστικές πολιτοφυλακές με ένα μήνυμα που άφησαν στο αυτοκίνητό του, που το έσπασαν. Είναι η δεύτερη φορά, μετά το 2020, που ο Ρισβάνογλου, αντιμετωπίζει απειλές κατά της ζωής του. Υπήρξε παλαιότερα υποψήφιος δήμαρχος ενός συνασπισμού σοσιαλιστικών και κουρδικών δυνάμεων στην πόλη του, τα Άδανα, σταθερός μαχητής και ως δικηγόρος και ως αγωνιστής, για τα δικαιώματα της εργατικής τάξης, υπερασπιστής του Κουρδικού λαού και του Παλαιστινιακού λαού, ενάντια στον ιμπεριαλισμό, για το σοσιαλισμό.
Το παρακάτω κείμενο είναι της αδελφής οργάνωσης του ΕΕΚ, DIP. Το ΕΕΚ, από την Ελλάδα, στέκεται στο πλευρό το συντρόφου Σιάρ Ρισβάνογλου και του DIP. Κάτω τα χέρια από τον σύντροφό μας Ρισβάνογλου. Διεθνής και διεθνιστική πάλη για το τσάκισμα του φασισμού και του Ιμπεριαλισμού.
Siyasi məzmunlu məhkəmələrdə irəli çıxan, inqilabçıların, kürdlərin, qadınların, fəhlələrin, məzlumların vəkili, İnqilabçı Fəhlə Partiyasının (türkcə “Devrimci İşçi Partisi”) üzvü, yoldaşımız Şiar Rişvanoğlu dünən (16 oktyabr) axşam saatlarında avtomobilinin üzərinə qoyulan bir qeydlə bir daha hədə-qorxuya məruz qalıb. 2020-ci ildə də hüquq bürosunun pəncərəsi qırılmış, təcavüzkarlar içəri hədələmə məzmunlu məktub atmışdılar. Adana Vəkillər Kollegiyası Ümumi Yığıncağından sonra yoldaşımızın avtomobilinə zərər verilib və maşının pəncərəsinə Türk İntiqam Briqadası imzalı bir hədə-qorxu mesajı qoyulub. Türkiyə faşizminə yaraşan bu qorxaq və alçaq təhdid qarşısında yoldaşımızın yanındayıq!
A member of the Revolutionary Workers Party in Turkey (DIP), Şiar Rişvanoğlu has been threatened by fascist militias with a message left on his car. This is the second occasion after 2020 that Rişvanoğlu, once the municipal candidate of a coalition of socialist and Kurdish forces in his city, Adana, and a relentless fighter of anti-imperialist and socialist causes, both as a lawyer and militant, faces threats against his life. The following text is fundamentally based on the communiqué in Turkish published by the DIP’s Central Committee immediately after this threat.
Siyasi davalarda öne çıkan, devrimcilerin, Kürtlerin, kadınların, işçilerin, ezilenlerin avukatı, Devrimci İşçi Partisi üyesi Şiar Rişvanoğlu yoldaşımız, dün (16 Ekim) akşam saatlerinde aracına bırakılan bir notla bir kez daha tehdit edildi. 2020 yılında da avukatlık ofisinin camı kırılmış, saldırganlar içeriye bir tehdit mektubu atmıştı. Bu kez de Adana Barosu Genel Kurulu’nun ardından yoldaşımızın aracına zarar verildi ve aracın camına Türk İntikam Tugayı imzalı bir tehdit mesajı iliştirildi. Türkiye faşizmine yakışan bu korkakça ve alçakça tehdit karşısında yoldaşımızın yanındayız!

The course of the SMO, i.e., the "special military operation", for almost 3 years has irrefutably proved that, in the words of Sergei S. Udaltsov, the Vlasovites will not defeat the Banderovites. Russian media almost daily report on various kinds of shortages and other "omissions" in the war zone and in the rear, the qualitative and quantitative diversity of which is staggering and, as various political scientists and experts say, raises at least natural questions.
Ход СВО в течение уже почти 3 лет неопровержимо доказал, что, по выражению, С. С. Удальцова, власовцам не победить бандеровцев. Российские СМИ почти каждодневно сообщают о разного рода нехватках, и других «упущениях» в зоне боевых действий и в тылу, качественное и количественное разнообразие которых ошеломляет и, как говорят разного рода политологи и эксперты, вызывает, по меньшей мере, естественные вопросы.
Niin maailmalla, kuin myös Suomessa taloudellinen, poliittinen, geopoliittinen ja sotilaallinen tilanne on ärhäkässä turbulenssissa. Vastaavassa tilassa maailma on ollut vallankumouksia, vastavallankumouksia ja suursotia edeltävinä kausina. Äärioikeiston nousu, militaristinen ilmapiiri, Naton läsnäolo arkielämässämme, rasismi, työväestön ja sen etuja syrjivä todellisuus on vain muutama ilmaisin tästä. Ammattiyhdistys pitää yleislakkoa vanhanaikaisena toimenpiteenä, mikä kielii siitä, että se on siis kastroitu ja hampaaton instituutio. Opositiota taantumukselliselle hallitukselle ei käytännössä ole varsinkaan sen jälkeen kun käytännössä koko vasemmisto kannatti liittymistä Natoon. DCA –sopimus sitoo Suomen porvarillisen armeijan USA:n sotavoimien apulaiseksi. Lopuksi muttei viimeiseksi on mainittava seikka, että niin Suomen sotilaat kuin kalustokin (hävittäjät) ovat mukana Naton ydinaseharjoituksissa.
Η οικονομική, πολιτική, γεωπολιτική ή στρατιωτική κατάσταση στον κόσμο, καθώς και στη Φινλανδία, βρίσκεται σε μια αμετάκλητη κατάσταση αναταράξεων. Ο κόσμος ήταν σε παρόμοια κατάσταση τις περιόδους που προηγήθηκαν των επαναστάσεων, των αντεπαναστάσεων και των μεγάλων πολέμων. Η άνοδος της ακροδεξιάς, η μιλιταριστική ατμόσφαιρα, η παρουσία του ΝΑΤΟ στην καθημερινότητά μας, ο ρατσισμός, η πραγματικότητα που κάνει διακρίσεις σε βάρος του εργαζόμενου πληθυσμού και των συμφερόντων του είναι μερικές μόνο εκφράσεις αυτής της πραγματικότητας. Η συνδικαλιστική γραφειοκρατία θεωρεί τη γενική απεργία ως μέτρο ”παλαιομοδίτικο”, κάτι που σημαίνει πως τα συνδικάτα είναι ένας στειρωμένος και ξεδοντιάρικος θεσμός. Στην πράξη δεν υπάρχει αντίσταση στην αντιδραστική κυβέρνηση, ειδικά αφότου στο σύνολό της η αριστερά υποστήριξε την ένταξη στο ΝΑΤΟ. Η συμφωνία DCA δεσμεύει τον φινλανδικό αστικό στρατό ως βοηθό των αμερικανικών στρατιωτικών δυνάμεων. Τέλος, αλλά όχι λιγότερο σημαντικό, πρέπει να αναφερθεί το γεγονός ότι οι φινλανδοί στρατιώτες και ο εξοπλισμός τους συμμετέχουν στις ασκήσεις πυρηνικών όπλων του ΝΑΤΟ.
In Finland and across the world, the economic, political, geopolitical and military situations are in a state of extreme turbulence. Such periods were observed in the past prior to revolutions, counter-revolutions and major wars. The rise of the far-right, militarism - including the overbearing presence of NATO in our everyday life-, rampant racism, and the continuous erosion of the rights of the working population and dismissal of its interests are just a few expressions of this. Certain trade unions in Finland now consider general strike to be an old-fashioned measure, perfect expression of how much of a neutered and toothless institution they have become. There is practically no opposition to the reactionary government, especially after the entire left supported joining NATO. The Defense Cooperation Agreement binds bourgeois Finland’s army to the US military forces as its auxiliary force. Last but not the least, the fact that Finnish soldiers and equipment (airplanes) are involved in NATO's nuclear weapons exercises must be mentioned.
We publish this piece, published in Revolutionary Marxism journal on the basis of Jeremy Lester’s presentation at Lenin100 online conference, after the demise of its author and in memory of this lifelong fighter of the Palestinian cause.
The text below is a message shared by our comrade Savas Michael-Matsas on Facebook concerning the loss of a very dear friend and an invaluable comrade of the International Socialist Center Christian Rakovsky, Jeremy Lester of Scotland and Italy. Jeremy talked this past 21 January on Palestine and his experience there in the Special Session on Palestine within the framework of the Conference on the Centenary of Lenin’s death. We will come back to commemorate the memory of Jeremy, but we wish to make all his friends and comrades aware of this tragic loss as early as possible.

¡50 años desde la tragedia de Chipre y su partición es suficiente!
¡Grecochipriotas y turcochipriotas, uníos y luchen juntos contra la división, la ocupación y el imperialismo!
¡Por un Chipre Socialista Unido e Independiente!
Κοινή δήλωση DİP Τουρκίας και ΕΕΚ Ελλάδας
50 χρόνια από την κυπριακή τραγωδία και τη διχοτόμηση είναι αρκετά!
Ελληνοκύπριοι και Τουρκοκύπριοι, ενωθείτε και πολεμήστε μαζί ενάντια στον διχoτόμιση, την κατοχή και τον ιμπεριαλισμό!
Για μια Ανεξάρτητη Ενωμένη Σοσιαλιστική Κύπρο!
Στις 20 Ιουλίου συμπληρώνονται 50 χρόνια από την κυπριακή τραγωδία. Είναι η 50ή επέτειος διχοτόμησης της Κύπρου, σύμφωνα με τα συμφέροντα των καπιταλιστών και των μιλιταριστών της Τουρκίας, της Ελλάδας και, κυρίως, των ιμπεριαλιστών των ΗΠΑ και της Βρετανίας. Ενώ οι άρχουσες τάξεις και των δύο χωρών χρησιμοποιούν αυτή την επέτειο για να πυροδοτήσουν αντιδραστικά και σοβινιστικά αισθήματα, εμείς, οι επαναστάτες Μαρξιστές και από τις δύο πλευρές του Αιγαίου, το ΕΕΚ από την Ελλάδα και το DİP από την Τουρκία, υψώνουμε για άλλη μια φορά το λάβαρο του διεθνισμού, δηλώνουμε την αποφασιστικότητά μας να πολεμήσουμε για την αυτοδιάθεση του κυπριακού λαού!
Kıbrıs trajedisine ve bölünmüşlüğüne 50 yıl yeter!
Rum Kıbrıslılar ve Türk Kıbrıslılar, bölünmeye, işgale ve emperyalizme karşı birleşin ve birlikte mücadele edin!
Bağımsız Birleşik Sosyalist Kıbrıs için ileri!
50 years from the Cyprus tragedy and division are enough!
Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, unite and fight together against division, occupation and imperialism!
For an Independent United Socialist Cyprus!
July 20 marks the 50th anniversary of the Cyprus tragedy. It is the 50th anniversary of the division of Cyprus, primarily driven by the interests of the capitalists and militarists of Turkey, Greece, and most importantly, of US and British imperialists. While the ruling classes of both countries use this anniversary to fuel reactionary and chauvinistic sentiments, as revolutionary Marxists from both sides of the Aegean, the EEK from Greece and DIP from Turkey, we once again raise the banner of internationalism, declare our resolve to fight for the self-determination of Cypriot people!
Fransa’nın çok beklenen seçimleri dün bir yorumcunun ifadesiyle “ülke tarihinin en sürpriz seçim sonuçları” ile bitti. İkinci turdan önce, herkes Marine Le Pen-Jordan Bardella ikilisinin ön-faşist Rassemblement National (RN) partisinin (Ulusal Derleniş) ilk turdaki zaferini perçinleyeceğini beklerken, sorulan soru sadece “mutlak çoğunluğu elde edecek mi yoksa yalnızca birinci parti mi olacak?” olurken, RN seçimden üçüncü sırada çıktı (sandalye sayısı 143 olarak hesaplanıyor). Birinci sırayı Nouveau Front Populaire (Yeni Halk Cephesi) olarak anılan sol cephe 182 sandalye ile aldı. Cumhurbaşkanı Macron’un destekçisi Ensemble (Birlikte) ittifakı ise 168 sandalye ile ikinci sıraya yerleşti.
The parliamentary elections in France ended up surprising the entire world. One French commentator said, “the most surprising election results in the entire history of France”. Before the second round, everyone was speculating whether the proto-fascist Rassemblement National (RN – National Rally) of the pair Marine Le Pen-Jordan Bardella would achieve an absolute majority or simply a plurality in parliament. The RN came out third (143 seats)! The prize of first place went to the Nouveau Front Populaire (New Popular Front, henceforth “the Front”), which got 182 elected. The Ensemble alliance (Together) led by Macron’s Renaissance came second with 168 MP’s.
“We” – not as communists or left-wing people, but as humans. Why do we not think about our actions all the way to the end / about the causes and all the results of our actions? The European – thus, including the local – elections have once more, but more than before, pushed us to wonder how is that a so unique being because thinking does think so scarce.
Οι Ευρωεκλογές του 2024 προκάλεσαν πολιτικό σεισμό με επίκεντρο τη Γαλλία και μετασεισμούς στην Ευρώπη και τον κόσμο. Ο Γαλλογερμανικός άξονας της ΕΕ έχει υποστεί ανεπανόρθωτες βλάβες. Η γερμανική σοσιαλδημοκρατία συνετρίβη, το ίδιο και το κόμμα τού Μακρόν. Η μεγάλη αποχή και η άνοδος της Ακροδεξιάς σε όλη την Ευρώπη είναι αδιάψευστες αποδείξεις του κλονισμού του αστικού πολιτικού συστήματος διακυβέρνησης και μιας χωρίς προηγούμενο πολιτικής κρίσης εξουσίας.

Fransa bir kez daha tüm Avrupa’yı sarsan şok dalgalarının tam merkezinde bulunuyor. Ulusal Derleniş (Fransızca kısaltmasıyla RN, eski adıyla Ulusal Cephe ya da FN) on yılı aşkındır süregiden yükselişi, Emmanuel Macron’a oy çağrısı ve eski düzene dönüşten başka bir anlama gelmeyen geçici çözümlerle beraber RN’in epeydir beklenen ve korkulan sıçrayışına yol açtı. Bu şu ana kadar RN’nin en büyük başarısı, ama daha kötüsü sırada olabilir. Faşizmin çirkin yüzünü gizleyen parlak çocuk Jordan Bardella’nın başını çektiği RN listesi, Avrupa Parlamentosu seçimlerinde kendinden sonraki iki listenin toplam oyundan daha çok oy topladı. Bu büyük zafer Fransız siyasetini tamamen altüst etti. Kökten bir yeniden yapılanma yakındır. Fransa’nın Golist (eski Cumhurbaşkanı Charles de Gaulle’den alıyor ismini) geleneğin temsil ettiği ana akım sağı, pek saygın burjuva siyasetinden kriz anlarında bekleneceği üzere bir kanadının faşistlerin kuyruğuna takılmaya hazır olduğunu bildirmesiyle beraber her an içeriden patlamaya hazır bir hale gelmiştir. Macronculuk, rezilce bir ölüme mahkûmdur. Sol ise RN ile bu tarihsel karşılaşmayı işçi karşıtı iktidarı süresince RN’in büyüyüp serpildiği Sosyalist Parti’...
Once again, France stands at the epicenter of the shockwaves rocking Europe. The continuous rise of the FN-turned-RN (National Rally, formerly called National Front) in more than a decade, combined with the palliative solutions that amount to voting for Emmanuel Macron and going back to business as usual, produced a long-feared and long-awaited upsurge in RN – their biggest feat yet, but hardly the worst they have in store. The pretty boy that hides the hideous face of fascism, Jordan Bardella, obtained more votes than the two following lists combined. This landslide victory threw French politics into disorder, and a fully-blown recomposition is underway. The mainstream right in France, representing the Gaullist tradition, is facing imminent implosion as one of its strands stated its readiness to be coopted by fascists – as the respectable bourgeois politics is wont to do when the push comes to the shove. Macronism is poised to die a humiliating death. The left, on the other hand, reached the ingenious conclusion of facing this historic stand-off with the RN with lists dominated by the Socialist Party, under whose anti-worker reign the RN thrived – including, grotesquely...
The 2024 EU Parliament election results are mostly in and there is much to reflect upon. The first and most significant result is the gigantic surge of the far-right, proto-fascist parties. The exact numbers are still subject to change; but the total representation of proto-fascist parties (including European Conservatives and Reformists, Identity and Democracy groups, newly elected and currently unaffiliated far-right parties, and finally AfD that was recently expelled from ECR for giving out the fascist game-plan a bit too early) far exceeds that of the center-left and liberal groups, and it is neck to neck with the largest parliamentary group of the center-right European People’s Party.
The opinion polls that preceded the European Parliament (EP) elections predicted that the parties which are wrongly called "extreme right", but actually proto-fascist, would grow in strength and become an effective contender for power. This has come true. The parties under consideration gained a total of 146 seats, with the following shares: Coalition of European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) led by Brothers of Italy (FdI) won 73 seats, the French National Rally’s Identity and Democracy (ID) Coalition 58, and Alternative for Germany (AfD) 15. This number is equal to slightly one-fifth of the total seats (720) in the European Parliament and means a 28-seat increase compared to the far right’s previous record-setting score (18%) in the 2019 EP elections.
AP seçimleri öncesinde yapılan kamuoyu araştırmaları aslında adını doğru koyacak olursak ön-faşist (proto-faşist) partilerin güçleneceğine ve parlamentoda etkili bir iktidar adayı olacağına dair öngörülerde bulunuyordu. Nitekim öyle de oldu. İtalya’nın Kardeşleri (FdI) liderliğindeki Avrupa Muhafazakârları ve Reformistleri (ECR) koalisyonu 73, Fransa’daki Ulusal Birlik’in Kimlik ve Demokrasi (ID) koalisyonu 58 ve Almanya İçin Alternatif (AfD) Partisi 15 olmak üzere toplam 146 sandalye kazandı. Bu sayı AB Parlamentosu’nun 720 sandalyesinin beşte birinden fazlasına (yüzde 22) tekabül ediyor ve 2019 AP seçimlerinde aşırı sağın aldığı bir önceki rekor oy oranına (yüzde 18) kıyasla 28 sandalyelik bir artış anlamına geliyor.
The European Parliament elections on June 9 have confirmed the trends observed in the recent Catalan, Galician and Basque regional elections. Abstention is growing throughout Europe: voters are participating less and less to elect a Parliament without real power, which is barely useful for ratifying government institutions and decisions taken by states, whose directives and decisions appear to be alien and harmful to the interests of the people, cut budgets and freedoms, threaten social rights and increase military spending, etc. The cost of living and especially the rise in housing due to speculation by property owners and large international funds generate social conflicts and independent social movements are emerging that are critical of the parties of the “progressive” government.
The European elections showed the reflection of several Europe-wide tendencies in Italy, while also illustrating several peculiarities. First and foremost, the proto-fascist bloc in Italy consolidated itself as the main political force in the country. The fractured nature of the proto-fascists, hitherto arguably more pronounced in Italy than elsewhere, also shows tentative signs of coming to an end – in Italy just as in France and Germany. In this context, whereas no sort of revolutionary left appears on the horizon of Italian politics, the relative left-turn of the Partito Democratico (PD, Democratic Party) and that of the Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra (AVS, Green and Left Alliance) seems to have contributed to their revival. Finally, the results deliver the coup de grace to the long-agonizing pipe dream of an Italian Macronisme.
По данным Минобороны России, 23 июня в 12:15 по Севастополю, из района Николаева было выпущено пять оперативно-тактических ракет американского производства ATACMS. Российская противовоздушная оборона сбила четыре из них, однако одна отклонилась от курса и произвела в воздухе подрыв боеголовки, начиненной кассетными боеприпасами. Взрыв произошел над переполненным людьми пляжем в поселке Учкуевка в юго-западной части Крымского полуострова. В результате этого террористического акта погибли четыре человека (в том числе двое детей), более 150 человек были ранены, из которых госпитализированы 82 (55 взрослых и 27 детей).
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, on June 23 at 12:15 a.m. in Sevastopol, five American-made ATACMS tactical missiles were fired from the Nikolaev area. Russian air defense shot down four of them, but one deviated from its course and detonated a warhead filled with cluster munitions in the air. The explosion occurred over a crowded beach in the village of Uchkuyevka in the southwestern part of the Crimean Peninsula. As a result of this terrorist act, four people were killed (including two children), more than 150 people were injured, of whom 82 (55 adults and 27 children) were hospitalized.
On the same day, in Dagestan, late in the evening, a group of armed men attacked an Orthodox church and a synagogue located in two cities at once — Makhachkala and Derbent. The militants also fired at law enforcement officers, which resulted in the death of 15 policemen. Four civilians were killed during the attack, including an Orthodox priest.
Näissä vaaleissa ei ole voittajia ja voitettuja. Oli puolue äänimäärän perusteella voittaja tai voitettu, sisällä esiintyy hajoamisprosesseja. Vaalien voittajana on kapitalismin mätäneminen. Ja se näkyy kaikilla tasoilla, poliittisesti, taloudellisesti, geopoliittisesti ja jopa kulttuurisesti. Samat pinnalle nousseet ristiriidat riivaavat myös keskuspankki EKP:ta. Jos Pariisi-Berliini akseli ei pysty koordinoimaan voimiaan, niin silloin vakaus on järkkynyt.
There are no winners and losers in this election. Disintegration processes occur among the winners and losers in terms of the number of votes. The winner of the election is the emergence of capitalism's rot. And it can be seen on all levels, politically, economically, geopolitically and even culturally. The same contradictions that surfaced are also plaguing the central bank, the ECB. If the Paris-Berlin axis cannot coordinate its forces, then the stability is shaken.
Comme on l’attendait, les résultats des élections européennes en France ont vérifié le glissement de l’électorat vers l’extrême-droite néo-fasciste. (À noter quand-même que près d’un électeur sur deux a refusé de voter). Mais ces élections ont été éclipsées par la dissolution de l’Assemblée Nationale, et l’échéance du 30 juin et le 7 juillet pour de nouvelles législatives. Un coup d’État macronien.
Böyle olacağı nasıl da belliydi! Ne kadar aşikârdı, nasıl da sıradan! 6-9 Haziran arasında Avrupa Birliği (AB) üyesi 27 ülkede düzenlenen seçimin sonuçları çoğu yorumcu tarafından sanki yeni ve şaşırtıcı bir şey varmış gibi karşılandı. Uzun yıllardır, en azından 2008’de patlak veren ve yanlış bir adla “küresel finans krizi” olarak anılan olayın ertesinde başlayan Üçüncü Büyük Depresyon’dan itibaren faşizm, mahcup ve temkinli bir tarz benimseyerek de olsa yükseliş içinde. Ama 1970’li ve 80’li yıllardan bu yana sol düşüncenin içine battığı karanlık, bunun ardından Berlin Duvarı’nın çökmesinin (1989) ve Sovyetler Birliği’nin dağılmasının (1991) yarattığı travma, uluslararası sosyalizmin, uluslararası işçi hareketinin ve sol aydınlar ortamının gözlerinin bağlanmasına yol açmıştı.
¡Qué previsible! ¡Qué obvio! ¡Qué banal! Los resultados de las elecciones que se desarrollaron en los 27 países europeos del 6 al 9 de junio fueron ampliamente recibidos como si hubiera algo novedoso, algo sorprendente. Durante muchos años, al menos desde el inicio de la Tercera Gran Depresión tras la mal llamada “crisis financiera global” de 2008, el fascismo, bajo la conducta tímida y reservada del protofascismo, ha ido en aumento. Pero la oscuridad arrojada sobre el pensamiento de izquierda desde los años 1970 y 1980, magnificada por el trauma de la caída del Muro de Berlín (1989) y la disolución de la Unión Soviética (1991), llevó a vendar los ojos al socialismo internacional, al movimiento obrero internacional y la intelectualidad de izquierda.
