“THOSE WHO MUST BE MILITANTS MUST FULFIL THE REQUIREMENTS OF MILITANCY. ”
To the followers of the goddess culture, to those who prefer the holy lıfe ın mesopotamıa and ıts holy mountaıns, ın the hometown of equalıty, freedom and justıce. To the woman comrades:
The revival of the goddess culture passes through lifestyles, principles and standards; through living these and through make them be lived. In the land of the goddesses, our dear comrades in our holy mountains; You have granted humanity, again, the culture which was disappearing, through the person of the Beritans, Zilans, Semas and Gulans.
In our world, which has been dominated by male sovereign mentality for five thousand years, humanity has faced; destruction, pillage, extortion, harassment, slavery, selfishness, lies, hypocrisy, jealousy, living in despair, and the planet which has become our world today.
The oldest slavery in history begins with the degradation of women; we believe that the newest life will be with the rebirth of the goddess culture.
Jin û jiyan (woman and life), meaning our approach to women and our perspective, determines our approach to life. For five thousand years, each system has been trying to create and shape its own women. Each of them imposes the woman’s degradation worse than the other.
The more the woman is shot down and made a slave, the more she sees herself as the judge. No ideology and system have asked the woman what she wants, how she wants to live. Even in the most prominent real socialism, the woman has returned to the four walls and is now in a situation where she has fallen into it.
Always ‘do it this way, act like this, look like this, talk like this, walk like this, dress like this’, these orders and rules have been given to her. This is done by the male maintainers of the male-dominated mentality. The woman’s life has been transformed into an open dungeon by embracing her with strict rules and measures.
With the customs and traditions formed by society, they were forced to live a wire-meshed life that was not seen in school, at work, on the street or at home. And this, like a destiny that will not change, has been brought to life for thousands of years and is almost accustomed to engraving on the brains.
Forbidden to go out on the street, unable to lift her head from the ground when she does go out, forced to live away from the world and the realities, subjected to severe punishments even in the face of insults and harassment of the man, passed through lynchings and massacres, she is a commodity that can be sold and bought by the man. And with all things, she is seen as an entity obliged to meet the sexuality of the man.
Surely to be sold to someone and to be pulled up in a glass cage like ornamental dolls, to be left fragile, without identity, I think it is a situation that is not so easy to understand. I don’t think that any man can understand what a woman feels and what she’s going through since it’s the woman who lives them.
As an individual, I have never stated that I am fighting for the liberation and freedom of women and that I have such a claim, and no man can easily speak it. Can someone who is in need of salvation, help anyone else who is in need of salvation? Can someone who has not attained his own freedom give freedom to someone else and develop a free relationship?
The goddesses are untouched and inaccessible, one can only try to live with them. This also has rules and principles. To understand Zilan, the goddess of freedom, to live with Zilan is to be according to her principles and measures and to become Zilan.
In the past, life is shaped around the mother goddess and the man gathers around her; Today, a new life is emerging around Zilan, and the woman is again turning to the mother goddess. Our mother goddess is Zilan, and we are her freedom-loving sons. She made us. It was she who taught us war, beauty, righteousness, honesty, simplicity, sacrifice, love, love and devotion. It was she who made the rules of life. It gave a new perspective to life and offered us the blessing of Zilan.
We, the sons of the mother goddess, can live and live accordingly and establish free tomorrows. Comrades; On the one hand, the goddess is experienced, on the other hand, there is profound slavery in the female person created by the male-dominated mentality. I find this slavery more dangerous than the slavery of men, and I think that the consequences may be more grave.
An army can be distributed, life can be destroyed, drifted into slavery under the name of freedom for centuries, the created values and gains can be lost, women can be separated from military service, mountains and freedom. Struggling with this mentality, overcoming these backwardnesses and not providing a basis for these insights in the ranks of the Party and the army, is an indispensable condition for freedom and salvation.
What I find most difficult to understand and react to about women; is their escape from freedom, from the beauty of the sacred mountains to become a slave of slavery, by going to sell themselves. Is it better to belong to a man between four walls than to seek freedom, and to belong only to him in the sacred and infinite?
What was this stubbornness in not breaking chains of slavery? How is it not seen, the cheating and humiliation imposed on women under the name of love? How does she believe them? What can become of the love of those without freedom! What can the love of a person who does not have the free personality, the self, the country serve? And can men and women with no freedom look in each other’s eyes?
It should not be forgotten that true love is the love of leadership, true love is the love of granting freedom to a people under the leadership. All other loves are fake and fond. If there are those who say that they really have love, they should show it in their practice.
The indispensable principle in the rules of Goddess to create sociality; Is freedom.
If I have been an obstacle to the development and freedom of the female comrades that took shape in Zilan’s goddessness, Sema’s devotion, Beritan unreserved resistance, Gulan’s sacrifice, and been an obstacle around it, I give self-criticism.
