As it must be disclaimed, the book ‘A revolutionary Approach to The Religion Problem’ is in its undeveloped, primitive form as criticized by the Peoples Leader, himself. These writings are not completely representative of the current stand of the PKK regarding the revolutionary approach to religion. There have been many developments released as part of defense writings ever since, due to constraints. Overall, the writings should be taken with a pinch of salt, as we continue to translate and analyze the topic.
In essence, the Kemalist ideology has developed the Western agent on the basis of opposition to the interests of the Islamic peoples; the ideology embodies this in the form of very dangerous nationalism.
In the classist plan, it is possible that the Turkish feudal-comprador, under the leadership of M. Kemal, rapidly capitalized on the basis of the oppression and exploitation of the Turkish labourers, just as the Turkish lords were mercilessly driven away and massacred most of the Turkmens.
In this process of capitalization, the old Anatolian Turkmen is now proletarianized. This is done in a very cruel, exploitative and oppressive environment. In this sense, the history of the republic develops ruthless chauvinist and fascist repression and massacre on the peoples by the Ottoman Empire.
On this basis, while some minorities were melted and a period of brutal extermination was initiated on the Kurdish nation, brutal capitalist exploitation was initiated on Anatolian Turkmens and Anatolian Turkish peasants.
This capitalist exploitation is not only developed to the needs of Turkish capitalism until today; this population is swept all over the world, the Anatolian peasants are marketed as slaves in the European metropolises and the Middle East as a slave and unlimited exploitation is provided on this basis.
It wants to develop by turning to a capitalist pragmatism, to create monopolistic Turkish capitalism, approaching NATO when we come to the present, taking refuge in the ideological sovereignty of the West, abandoning Islam and using it to numb the masses of people.
In essence, it is against Islam, but because the masses of people are Muslims, they use Islam as a means to put them to sleep. To limit the effects of the Iranian revolution, the Turkish sovereigns have shown the hypocrisy of entering into a false compromise with this revolution, and, if necessary, at the expense of secularism.
During the fascism of September 12, as if it was not enough to use the Ottoman Empire in a reactionary right and Islam in a dogmatic way for hundreds of years, it is inextricably and at the same time shamelessly and extremely hypocritically using the state’s intelligence forces. The fascist Turkish bourgeoisie wants to keep the society under pressure, under the influence of Sunniism, the most reactionary form of Islam, and its various sects in a very distorted way by using agents. As a civilian force on the hill, he is already a heretic, but he does not shy away from using Islam to save the image.
On the other hand, it maintains its relations with the most reactionary, chauvinist imperialist sections of the West, as well as its friendship with Hitler only yesterday. These are the most backward and conservative regimes, states, and empires of capitalism, and especially the US imperialism.
It enters into an alliance with all these powers after the 1950s. It uses alliance relations against Middle Eastern peoples, Islamic peoples and socialist peoples. Imperialism uses it for this. Under the name of Islamic views it as opposed to Islam as possible. It uses this against both the peoples of the Middle East and the Soviet peoples.
On the 12th of September in the fascist order, this reached an extended stage. Turkishness is now completely in the service of the West and a beggar of the West. He petitions every day to enter the EC and complains every day. Now, with these Turkish collaborators, Anatolia has become the new colony of the West and Kurdistan has become the classical colony.
