On anti-Erdogan protests in Türkiye and Öcalan's betrayal of Kurdish struggle - A discussion with Comrades Anna and Ozan

from SpartTalk · host Spartacist

Mansa talks with Comrades Anna and Ozan to discuss the recent developments in Türkiye and Öcalan's call on the PKK to surrender its arms. In making sense of these questions, we inevitably end up discussing Kemalism and why it's an obstacle to advance the interests of the Turkish masses, why the strategy of the Kurdish liberation struggle led to this dead-end and the need for Kurdish fighters to reject this betrayal. All of this requires understanding, in comrade Anna's words, that the main enemy of the world proletariat and the main force responsible for destroying the region and sowing divisions is U.S. imperialism.Read the articles we discuss in the talk below:Türkiye: Down With Erdoğan!
