NATO is an international counter-revolutionary apparatus created to defend the imperialist-capitalist order against the revolutionary struggle of the working class. It is a military-political instrument constructed by the bourgeoisie to suppress working-class organization, socialist movements, and national liberation struggles throughout the world. The fact that NATO neither dissolved nor diminished after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, despite the disappearance of its alleged enemy, but instead expanded continuously, demonstrates that its true function has never been “defense against communism.” Its real purpose has always been the global defense of the capitalist order and imperialist hegemony.
Today, the struggle against NATO is not merely a matter of foreign policy. It is an inseparable part of defending the democratic rights of the working class, trade union freedoms, and the struggle for social emancipation. Against imperialist wars, against the clandestine machinery of the state, against capitalist barbarism, the genuine alternative is the independent, united, socialist struggle of the international working class.
The Pride March is not merely an event where LGBTI+ people make themselves visible; it is the public expression of a collective struggle against the oppression, exploitation, and discrimination produced by capitalist patriarchy. This struggle runs far deeper than the identity politics displayed in shop windows, it beats at the very heart of life itself.
The rise in hate crimes today, the obstruction of access to healthcare and education, and discrimination in working life are all defensive reflexes of a conservative authoritarian regime seeking to preserve itself by devaluing labor and dividing society. For this reason, the Pride March is not simply a struggle over identity; it is also a struggle for labor, freedom, and democracy.
Today, NATO is not merely a military defence organisation; it is an aggressive structure safeguarding the global political and economic order of US imperialism.
In this century, the economic centre of gravity is gradually shifting from the Atlantic to the Pacific. As China becomes the world’s second-largest economy, a significant portion of global trade and production is concentrating in Asia. Consequently, China’s rise is now not merely an economic issue, but a geopolitical one. We view this as the emergence of a new imperialist power; the unipolar world is giving way once more to a multipolar power struggle.
As Europe’s security concerns grow, Turkey’s geopolitical position and military strength will become one of the key factors bearing a significant portion of this burden. So, what price will Turkey’s working people have to pay for this expanding role within NATO?
War lords and partners in interest in the Epstein scandals are gathering in Ankara on 7–8 July under the guise of the NATO Summit. It is clear that this summit, at which the strategies of US imperialism and its allies to turn the world into a plunder ground and a battlefield will be discussed, will bring no benefit whatsoever to either the Turkish working class or the peoples of the world.
Throughout history, Armenia has been a fault line and a battlefield between East and West. Today, it remains a frontier between Western imperialism, centered on the US and the EU, and the emerging imperialist bloc in the East led by the Russia–China alliance.
The liberation of the working class of Armenia and the Caucasus lies neither in the chauvinism of the old oligarchs who lean on Russia’s military and economic power, nor in Pashinyan’s pro-Western authoritarian liberalism, which presents the transformation of Armenia into a potential battlefield for the EU and NATO against Russia and Iran as a promise.
The annulment decision targeting the CHP congress and the attempt to reinstall former chair Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu at the head of the party through the judiciary, acting on orders from the Palace like a trustee, is proof that the institutions and constitutional order of the bourgeois regime in Türkiye have ceased to function even at a symbolic level. The Supreme Election Council (YSK), which since 1950 existed as the guarantor of electoral security within bourgeois democracy, has now become a direct apparatus of the Palace judiciary. What we face is not a legal process but a political coup; therefore, these decisions are illegitimate. Yet merely stating this does not solve the problem. The solution lies in organizing a broader and more radical united struggle rising from the streets.
Today marks the 30th anniversary of the death of Akın Reçber; the Fourth Red Rose of May Day 1996; who fell on May 20, 1996 as a result of the brutal torture he endured in police custody.
We salute the martyrs of May Day 1996; Hasan Albayrak, Dursun Odabaşı, Levent Yalçın, and Akın Reçber, along with all martyrs of the revolutionary struggle. Their Memory Will Live On in Our Struggle!
Under the pretext of the Iran war, the regime aligns itself with imperialist balances while consolidating the “home front” domestically: on one hand, it deepens its assault on the working class; on the other, it suffocates all avenues of social opposition. The way out lies not in waiting for the ballot box, but in building an independent class front.
The strike of teachers working at the Italian High School continues.
Teachers are fighting for equal pay for equal work, wages above the poverty line, and equal status.
This system advises us to be patient, to remain silent, and to submit to our fate. But we say: “We will overthrow your system that brings destruction and poverty!”
An equal and free world will not emerge on its own. That world will rise through the collective struggle built against exploitation, violence, and domination. Let us expand our struggle so that not one more life is lost, and so that we can build a free and equal future!
The primary objective of the U.S.–Israel alliance is to achieve regime change in Iran, integrate it into the global system, and eliminate Iran as a regional power. The United States, however, has three longer-term strategic objectives: to control energy resources, to regulate the flow of energy to China, and to advance the encirclement of Russia and China in the South Caucasus and Central Asia. U.S. attempts at regime change through air operations have previously been tried in Syria and Libya, but rapid success was not achieved.
The Iranian regime is fundamentally a theocratic-bonapartist form of rule, managed by a bureaucratic-military oligarchic class, in which the working class is systematically subjected to political and economic oppression. The Axis of Resistance, alongside rhetorical anti-imperialism, functions as the regime’s foreign policy apparatus.
The elimination of Iran will not elevate Turkey to a regional power; on the contrary, it would position Turkey as a new threat in the strategic vision of the U.S.–Israel axis.
There is no talk of complete dictatorship or a promising springtime atmosphere. On the contrary, we are still at a critical juncture where a fierce struggle for democratic positions and electoral rights is necessary. Instead of watching the “Big Picture” from afar and lamenting, the workers themselves are showing how to win by using the power that comes from production.
A year filled with wars, protests, strikes, and resistance is upon us. The world is drifting into a period defined by fierce competition, protectionism, and conflict. In Syria, the collapse of the old regime has ushered in a new era of uncertainty. While the political gains of the Kurds are being dismantled, there is a risk of a new Islamist regime, allied with US imperialism and at peace with Zionism and Israel, rising on our borders. In Turkey, the deepening economic crisis has engulfed all areas of social life. The Palace is escalating its violence as it fails to generate consent. Although strikes and resistance have increased recently, the current level of organization is insufficient to create a systemic rupture. The socialist movement needs a more coherent struggle and to take root within the working class.
We are saying “Hello” to our publication amidst an extremely complex global conjuncture. Amidst the dust and smoke of imperialist rivalry between China and the USA, the world is being dragged towards a great darkness. We claim to offer an organized response to this darkness from the front of the working class. We call on our readers not only to understand the world, but also to change it together. We hope that this humble endeavor will be a beacon in the darkness for the indomitable revolutionaries of this land.
Los señores de la guerra y los cómplices de los escándalos de Epstein se reúnen en Ankara los días 7 y 8 de julio bajo el pretexto de la Cumbre de la OTAN. Está claro que esta cumbre, en la que se debatirán las estrategias del imperialismo estadounidense y sus aliados para convertir el mundo en un terreno de saqueo y un campo de batalla, no reportará beneficio alguno ni a la clase trabajadora turca ni a los pueblos del mundo.
A lo largo de la historia, Armenia ha sido una línea de fractura y un campo de batalla entre Oriente y Occidente. Hoy sigue siendo una frontera entre el imperialismo occidental, encabezado por Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea, y el bloque imperialista emergente en Oriente, liderado por la alianza Rusia–China.
La liberación de la clase trabajadora de Armenia y del Cáucaso no reside ni en el chovinismo de los viejos oligarcas que se apoyan en el poder militar y económico de Rusia, ni en el liberalismo autoritario prooccidental de Pashinyan, que presenta la transformación de Armenia en un posible campo de batalla de la Unión Europea y la OTAN contra Rusia e Irán como una promesa política.
Bajo el pretexto de la guerra con Irán, el régimen, mientras se adapta a los equilibrios imperialistas, refuerza el “frente interno”: por un lado profundiza los ataques contra la clase trabajadora y, por otro, asfixia a la oposición social. La salida no está en esperar las urnas, sino en construir un frente de clase independiente.
Decimos “Hola” a nuestra publicación en medio de una coyuntura global extremadamente compleja. Entre el polvo y el humo de la rivalidad imperialista entre China y Estados Unidos, el mundo es arrastrado hacia una gran oscuridad. Reivindicamos ofrecer una respuesta organizada a esta oscuridad desde el frente de la clase trabajadora. Llamamos a nuestros lectores no solo a comprender el mundo, sino también a transformarlo juntos. Esperamos que este modesto esfuerzo sea un faro en la oscuridad para los revolucionarios indomables de esta tierra.
