CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS AND DEMOCRATIC POLITICS Menderes İnanç

CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS AND DEMOCRATIC POLITICS 

Turkish society has moved far away from these two important ideas. The government, which has taken over the media, manages society with perception operations by spreading disaster-mongering. For the last week, the fire of Newroz, the festival of Freedom and Resistance, continues to gather the oppressed people around it as it gets more heated. The belief that the historical festival of resistance and freedom of the Kurds is the hope of the oppressed peoples today has been reinforced once again.

The country's press is playing blind and deaf, not a single image is shown and not a word is mentioned while millions are screaming in the fields. A while ago, the German Minister of National Defense made a statement: "It is inevitable for the German armed forces to be armed." It should be known that as soon as the Germans arm themselves, there is preparation for a new world war. This is how the collapse of the Ottoman Empire began at the end of the 19th century, Kurds and other peoples joined hands and made Anatolia their homeland. Today, there is a deep emotional break between Kurds and other peoples.

Unfortunately, the hundred-year-old republic was neither secular nor democratic, nor did it provide the opportunity for a society with developing class consciousness. .

Blind religiousism and nationalism have shattered society's ability to think. The political institution, which never drops the word democracy, has maintained its existence by constantly injecting religiousism and nationalism into the society and plundering the country's resources together with the imperialist states.

This society, which has lost its consciousness, has completely lost its ability to question. However, every choice is also an opportunity to do accounting and question. This is one of the indispensable elements of bourgeois democracy.

Yes, there will be an election in this country in ten days, there is neither union power nor class consciousness that will affect the course of the election. . For a hundred years, Kurds still have not achieved their national human rights.

Neither class consciousness nor democratic culture has developed in the hundred-year-old republic. In a possible world war, countries will be redesigned. Just like the last period of the Ottoman Empire, there is still a huge debt and poverty and depression to meet the possible course. At the time this article was written, the Kurds were preparing for the great Newroz in Diyarbakir. Tomorrow they will give their messages about the upcoming process and probably; They will again shout for Peace, Democracy, law, Justice and labor to be valued! Maybe they will say their last words during the Final Newroz…
