With Persistence and
Perseverance for a "Tighter, Stronger, More Determined War"!
TKP-ML, 52 YEARS OLD!
Our Party TKP-ML, born as a
result of the class struggle in our geography, within the
world-shaking storms of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution led
by Comrade Mao Zedong, is 52 years old!
The flag, which was opened on
April 24, 1972, has been waving for 52 years under the leadership of
Comrade Ibrahim Kaypakkaya, against all kinds of reformist and
revisionist leadership: "We are the heirs of Comrade Mustafa
Suphi and the TKP under his leadership", "Now we are
raising a flag high in front of everyone's eyes".
While our Party has been
waving the flag of communism for 52 years as the vanguard and leading
force of the international proletariat in our geography, four general
secretaries, tens of leading cadres, hundreds of fighters, militants
and supporters, especially its founding leader, were immortalized.
Thousands of our comrades were wounded. Thousands were imprisoned in
the prisons of fascism. In its 52 years of struggle, our Party
responded to all kinds of attacks by our class enemies with
resistance. It won victories and took defeats against fascism. The
Party paid the price and made them pay. It continued to wave the flag
of communism opened under the leadership of Comrade Ibrahim
Kaypakkaya. And as we enter our 52nd year of struggle, our Party
especially our immortal comrades, injured, imprisoned and subjected
to the torture of fascism, through our comrades' lives, blood,
resistance and labor, has managed to create a tradition in the
revolutionary and communist movement in Turkey.
For 52 years, the secret of
the flag of communism that has been waved with perseverance is that
our Party brings together Marxism-Leninism-Maoism with the
aspirations and demands of our people of Turkish, Kurdish nations,
various nationalities and beliefs, for liberation from exploitation,
for freedom and independence. The foundation of our Party was laid in
the most advanced actions of the working class and popular masses, by
a limited number of cadres, especially our leading comrade Ibrahim
Kaypakkaya, by equipping the class struggle in our geography with MLM
science. The secret of our Party's 52nd year of struggle is the MLM
science and the struggle of the masses. As long as our Party and the
struggle of the working class and the masses of the people exist, the
flag of communism will continue to fly high in these lands.
Our Party has gained positions
and victories to the extent that it has been able to combine MLM
science with the struggle of the masses. To the extent that it
distanced itself from the struggle of the masses, it suffered defeats
and lost positions. This is the concrete lesson that our 52-year
history of struggle has taught us.
In the half-century since the
founding of our Party, the struggle of the international proletariat
and oppressed peoples has witnessed great upheavals. Most
importantly, the working class and oppressed peoples lost the
positions they gained through revolutions one by one. Our class
enemies declared that "the class struggle is over" and
"ideologies are dead". However, in a short time, the
footsteps of the Imperialist Sharing War, which is inherent in
imperialist capitalism, became more audible.
In the conditions where the
3rd Imperialist Sharing War is being discussed in the international
arena and each camp of the imperialist bourgeoisie is making
preparations accordingly, our geography comes to the fore as one of
the centers of this war of sharing. After Iraq and Syria, the
reactionary mullah regime of Iran is becoming more and more evident
as the new target of the imperialists.
Zionist Israel, established as
an outpost of imperialism in the Middle East, continues to be a
threat to the peoples of the region, especially through genocidal
attacks against the Palestinian nation.
The Turkish state, whose
justification for existence is cooperation with imperialist capital
and hostility to the people; It is preparing for new attacks against
our people of Turkish, Kurdish nations, various nationalities and
beliefs. As a useful member of NATO, the military organization of
imperialism, it aims to increase the invasion and massacre attacks
against the peoples of the region, especially the Kurdish nation, not
only inside but also outside the borders. It is preparing for new
massacres in order to use the increasing contradictions between
imperialists for its own benefit.
At the current stage, Turkish
fascism has condemned millions of workers and laborers to a wage
below the hunger limit called minimum wage. The starvation wage has
become the average wage. Millions of people are condemned to live at
the limit of hunger and poverty and are worried about the future,
while a handful of minorities who hold power live in luxury and
splendor. The broad masses of the people are reacting to the
situation they have been forced into. However, as can be seen in the
last local elections, this reaction is wanted to be backed behind the
opposition clique of the ruling classes. The aim is to keep the
opposition of the masses within the order, to prevent new uprisings
like Gezi and Kobane, and more importantly to prevent the armed
struggle from reaching the masses.
In its 52nd year of struggle,
our Party calls on workers, peasants and intellectuals, youth and
women who are devoted to the cause of communism but whose beliefs and
energies have been channeled in the wrong way due to revisionist and
reformist leaderships, to organize, to grow the unshakable belief in
the fire of "revolution" and "communism" that
they carry subjectively in their heads and hearts through organized
revolutionary struggle.
Long Live the 52nd
Anniversary of the Founding of our Party!
Long live Marxism Leninism
Maoism!
Long live TKP-ML, TIKKO,
TMLGB and KKB!
