Tunus devriminin önde gelen önderlerinden biri, iktidardaki liberal İslamcı Ennahda’nın silahlı milisleri veya Selefi çeteler tarafından katledildi. Kendisini Marksist olarak niteleyen Birleşik Demokrat Yurtseverler Partisi Genel Sekreteri Şükrü Belaid bir suikaste kurban gitti. Belaid aynı zamanda solcu, pan-Arap milliyetçisi ve çevreci 12 partiden ve çevreden ve ayrıca bireylerden oluşan Devrimin Hedeflerinin Gerçekleşmesi İçin Halk Cephesi adlı ittifakın da önde gelen liderlerinden biri idi.
Il Partito Comunista dei Lavoratori(PCL) si presenta alle elezioni politiche sulla base di un programma anticapitalista: l'unico programma realmente contrapposto all'”agenda Monti”, a partire dalle ragioni del lavoro e di tutti gli sfruttati. L'Agenda Monti è il programma degli industriali, dei banchieri, del Vaticano, già votato in Parlamento da tutti i principali partiti ( PD, PDL, UDC). L'ipocrisia che la circonda regna oggi sovrana.
Two years ago, in the wake of the revolutionary uprising in Tunisia in December 2010- January 2011, on the 25th of January 2011, the Egyptian people rose in rage against the 30-year dictatorship that had been ruling the country under the iron fist of Hosni Mubarak. For 18 days they fought for bread, jobs, freedom, and dignity. They occupied Tahrir Square, that aptly named square, whose name, “Emancipation” in Arabic, later resounded throughout the world symbolising the struggle of the masses everywhere. They fought the “Battle of the Camel” against the hired thugs of the regime, the notorious “Baltadji”. From 7 February on the working class staged a strong strike movement in industry, in transportation, in the docks of the Suez Canal and elsewhere. The system now had to sacrifice the dictator. Mubarak came tumbling down. The Egyptian masses thus proved to the world that the will power and courage of ordinary people, if they come together in their millions, will overcome the mightiest dictatorship.
Türkiye’deki mücadele üzerinde devasa etkiler yaratabilecek bir cinayet başka bir ülkede, Fransa’nın başkenti Paris’te yaşandı. Bu, işçi sınıfının devrimci öncüsünün uluslararası alanda örgütlenmesinin, yani bir dünya partisinin önemini hissetmemize yol açabilecek somut bir örnek. Devrimci İşçi Partisi, böyle bir devrimci işçi Enternasyonalinin inşası için Dördüncü Enternasyonal’in Yeniden Kuruluş Koordinasyonu’nu (DEYK/CRFI) destekliyor. DEYK/CRFI’ı destekleyen üç parti (biri DİP), Paris’te yaşanan cinayetler üzerine son günlerde bir bildiri yayınladı. Bildiri, Fransa işçi hareketine ve soluna hitap ettiği için, orijinali Fransızca olarak kaleme alınmış bulunuyor. Bildiri, DEYK/CRFI’ın Fransa’daki sempatizanları tarafından bütün ilgili Fransız örgütlerine iletiliyor. Aşağıda bu Fransızca bildirinin Türkçesini yayınlıyoruz. Ayrıca, bildiriyi orijinal dili olan Fransazca’da da yayınlıyoruz. Bildiri, Latin Amerika’da da DEYK/CRFI’ın Arjantin örgütü olan Partido Obrero’nun (İşçi Partisi) sitesinde İspanyolca olarak yayınlanmış bulunuyor.
L’assassinat à Paris de trois militantes kurdes de la mouvance du PKK est un fait d’une grande importance. D’abord parce qu’il survient juste à la suite de l’annonce d’une série de pourparlers entre l’Etat turc et Abdullah Ocalan, le leader du PKK en prison, visant à une solution politique à la guerre entre l’armée turque et la guérilla du PKK. Cet assassinat entame l’espoir que cette annonce avait créé auprès du peuple kurde et les milieux progressistes turcs. Puis, et non de moindre importance, c’est la première fois dans la longue histoire de ladite guerre qui perdure depuis 28 ans que des hauts représentants du PKK soient assassinés. Sakine Cansiz, la plus importante cadre parmi les trois militantes, est fondatrice du PKK (elle a donc fait partie du mouvement depuis au moins 1978). Elle était également sa représentante en l’Allemagne depuis longtemps. « Rojbin » Fidan Dogan, pour sa part, servait de porte-parole du KNK, le Congrès National du Kurdistan, une des très diverses organisations que le PKK a créées pour faire entendre en étranger la voix trop longtemps réduite au silence du peuple kurde.
The worst fears of the ruling classes of Greece and Europe are becoming true: an uncontrollable social explosion is under way in Greece. When these lines are written, late in the night on February 12-13, 2012, the violent clashes and street fights between demonstrators and the riot police, in the center of Athens and in other cities all over the country, still continue. The phony “majority” that just voted in Parliament the new package of measures of social cannibalism imposed by the troika of the EU, the European Central Bank, and the IMF cannot and will not stop the Greek social wild fire to expand in the country and spread beyond Greece, all over Europe and internationally.
The people made their voices very clear on the streets: No to everything proposed! No to all making and supporting the proposals!
Now, as you know we are again facing new early elections n June 17, after the totally failure to form of a coalition government to impose the “memor an dum”, the austerity program of the EU /ECB/ IMF. The fact that all the pressures by the Greek President of the Republic, by all the Greek bourgeois parties, by the EU Commission, by the ECB, by Merkel’s government, by Lagarde, the head of the IMF etc. failed to produce such a coalition government after May 6, shows clearly that the country had become ungovernable: those above c an not rule as before, those below can not afford to continue to be governed as in the past, an d above all, the radical turn to the left of the masses expressed in the recent elections rejecting austerity an d supporting the perspective of a “government of the Left” indicates clearly that a pre-revolutionary situation is developing in the country , affecting an d deepening the crisis in Europe an d internationally.
As only less than two weeks separate us from the new critical parliamentary elections in Greece, on June 17, polarization, fears and hopes dominate the political climate.
The right wing New Democracy won in the Greek elections on June 17 a pyrrhic victory, with a very narrow lead from the second party, the reformist SYRIZA: the Right got around 30 per cent( not permitting to form a majority government by itself alone) and the reformist Left around 27 per cent ( from 17 per cent on May 6). This extremely limited and non inspiring “success” of the Right came despite a gigantic international and national campaign of intimidation of the Greek people and in favor of New Democracy, waged by all international and national bourgeois media as well as by the IMF and Lagarde, Merkel’s and Shäuble’s Germany, Baroso, Oli Ren and the EU Commision, Junker, the chairman of the Eurogroup, even by Obama himself and his Administration. Although the pro-Memorandum parties (New Democracy, PASOK, the liberal Democratic Left) can form a coalition government supported by a parliamentary majority (thanks also of the anti-democratic electoral law giving to the first party as a bonus 50 seats), the majority of the voters themselves have voted anti-Memorandum parties.
The working class and popular masses of all the over-indebted capitalist countries, arrogantly named as “PIGS” by the global finance capital and the imperialist chancelleries, are now in an uncontrollable rebellion. A tsunami of popular anger against the EU and the IMF imposed measures of social cannibalism is engulfing the entire Southern Europe. The last few days, hundreds of thousands of workers are flooding the streets and the squares, from Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona, to Athens, and then Rome.
أردوغان، لا تكن درعا للارهاب الصهيوني!
Siyonist İsrail devletinin Gazze’ye yaklaşık on gündür yönelttiği saldırı, ilan edilen ateşkesle şimdilik kesildi. Ancak sorunlar yerli yerinde duruyor, gelecek için bir tehdit oluşturuyor. Türkiye’nin ve Arap ülkelerinin halkları sorunun aslını kavrayarak Siyonist İsrail’e karşı daha aktif tavır almalı, kendi devletlerinin ikiyüzlü politikalarını reddetmelidirler.
The aggression by the Zionist Israeli state on Gaza that lasted for ten days has, for the moment, been stopped as a result of a cease-fire. However, underlying problem have not gone away and pose threats for the future. The peoples of Turkey and of the Arab countries should grasp the essence of the problem, adopt a more active stand against Zionist Israel and reject the hypocrisy of their own governments.
The Revolutionary Workers’ Party salute the ‘Middle East Conference’ organized by The People’s Democratic Congress. We salute all the Arab revolutionaries who have come to Turkey to attend the conference.
Since the beginning of 2011 when the first sparks of the Arab revolution were witnessed in Tunisia, our Party has endeavoured to forewarn the working class movement and socialists in Turkey and our fellow Kurdish people that a process of revolution had started in our region with international repercussions.
Aşağıdaki bildiri Mısır Cumhurbaşkanı Muhammed Mursi’nin AKP Kongresi’ne davet edilmesi vesilesiyle Devrimci İşçi Partisi tarafından Mısır’ın devrimci halkına yapılmış bir çağrıdır. Çağrının orijinali İngilizce olarak kaleme alınmıştır. Buradaki metin İngilizce metnin çevirisidir.
The Revolutionary Workers Party of Turkey (DIP) calls on the revolutionary people of Egypt and its organisations to create channels through which we can communicate, cooperate, conduct joint activity, and condemn this new initiative to bring the two countries together under conservative and collaborationist governments. Yes, Egypt and Turkey should no doubt join hands in fraternity. But what for? Not to serve the interests of the capitalist classes of the two countries or side with imperialism against oppressed nations or reconcile with Zionism. No, the interest of the working classes and the poor of the two countries requires that they cooperate with a view to establishing a new revolutionary order in the Middle East.
La lucha entre el régimen Baath de Beshar el Assad y las masas populares de la ciudad y el campo en Siria, que comenzó el 15 de marzo de 2011, parece haber agotado a ambos bandos en su ferocidad, prometiendo una victoria inminente a una tercera fuerza que ha sido cuidadosamente diseñada, apoyada y armada por las fuerzas internacionales de la contrarrevolución. Esta tercera fuerza es una coalición burguesa compuesta por diferentes tendencias políticas, incluyendo a políticos burgueses pro-imperialistas en el exilio que esperan su oportunidad, movimientos musulmanes suníes de diversa índole, entre los que sobresale la Hermandad Musulmana, representantes directos de varios sectores de la burguesía siria y desertores del ejército sirio. Las fuerzas de la contrarrevolución internacional, compuestas principalmente por el imperialismo -ante todo el norteamericano, por supuesto-, la reacción árabe suní liderada por Arabia Saudita, Qatar y Turquía (Israel ha mantenido un increíble bajo perfil) parecen estar cerca del éxito en su gran objetivo de desviar el levantamiento de las masas populares –una expresión auténtica de la revolución árabe- hacia un movimiento pro-imperialista “...
Aşağıdaki yazı, önce Arjantin’deki kardeş partimiz Partido Obrero’nun (İşçi Partisi-PO) gazetesi Prensa Obrera’nın 2 Ağustos 2012 tarihli 1233. sayısında İspanyolca olarak (http://po.org.ar/po1233/2012/08/02/siria-entre-la-revolucion-y-la-contra...) , daha sonra da Kanada’da bir sosyalist internet sitesi olan “Socialist Project”te 7 Ağustos günü İngilizce olarak (http://www.socialistproject.ca/bullet/676.php) yayınlanmıştır. Yazı, her ne kadar dünyanın Ortadoğu’yu bizim kadar yakından izlemeye olanağı olmayan bölgeleri için kaleme alınmış olsa da, Devrimci İşçi Partisi’nin ve Gerçek gazetesinin Suriye olaylarının en başından bu yana yapmakta olduğu çok kapsamlı analizi tek bir yazının sınırları içinde özetliyor ve günümüzde ulaşılan noktaya ilişkin tespitler içeriyor olması dolayısıyla Türkçe’de yayınlanmasının da anlamlı olacağını düşündük. Ortadoğu’ya uzak yabancı okuyucular için verilmiş olan, Türkiye’deki okuyucu için gereksiz bilgilerin ayıklanmasına rağmen yazı yine de Türkçe yazılmış olsaydı bazı yerleri farklı...
