Coordinated actions by anarchists in the eve of Referendum against dictatorship and democracy..
Some anarchist groups in Istanbul, organized coordinated actions
against democracy and dictatorship in the context of Turkish
constitutional referendum, and to salute ‘Coordination of Anarchist
Groups’, which was declared by some anarchist groups last week.
Anarchist groups in the neighnourhoods of Kadıkoy, Kucukcekmece,
Umraniye, Sefakoy, Kasımpasa dropped banners and made stickers
simultaneously.
On banners wrote; ‘Find Yourself, Organize, Fight! Yes to
Insurrection, No to State!’ (Kadıköy), ‘Insurrection will not be
something you expected!’ (Sefaköy ve Ümraniye), ‘State Manifactures War.
Revolution Not Elections, Communes Not State!’ (Küçükçekmece), ‘Don’t
be slaves, There is no authority, but yourself!’ (Ümraniye), ‘Neither
Dictatorship, Nor Democracy, Insurrection, Revolution, Anarchy’
(Kasımpaşa).
Here is the statement of anarchist groups in complicity:
“AKP rule has no chance to escape from its collapse, though 16th
April referendum would likely to pave the way for an extensive
suppression of opposition in Turkey. On the other hand, a win for NO
votes would just mean the maintenance of the status-quo. The biggest
gain would be a morale boost for mainstream opposition which redesigned
oppressor-oppressed conflict in shape of anti-AKP, anti-Erdoganism. Our
responsibility is not to wait for collapse of powers but to organize and
empower struggles that can take the system down.
‘Direct’ or ‘representative’ democratic order does not represent
equality, freedom and revolutionary transformation. It degrades
society’s revolutionary ideal into numbers though election system. Its
perception and conscious are engineered by the highest class on
hierarchy and it results in enthrallment of the society by the ‘will of
majority.’ We regretfully see that many activists (including
anti-authoritarians seeking for ‘direct democracy’) struggle in order to
achieve a status in democratic order imposed by the sovereign not in
order to start a grassroots movement. By looking at their attitudes in
recent elections, we see a lot of anti-authoritarian people whose
favourite word is ‘direct democracy’ designing their discourse and
praxis around bourgeois parliament and working for electoral success of
mainstream opposition parties by turning their back on revolutionary
efforts. These compromising efforts are time and again proven to sign
death warrant of potential revolutionary transformations in the history.
We call all our comrades and anti-authoritarian, emancipatory friends
once again:
Anarchy is neither a volatile dream nor a dogmatic world view. In
contrast, anarchy realizes itself as long as individual brings it into
existence. Demanding for freedom; destroying each and every link of
oppression; overthrowing ones that exploit us, keep us hungry, leave us
homeless, banish us, imprison us, murder us, numb us, divide us, make us
fight; and creating a world that is based on equality, freedom and
commune can only be enabled by keeping the focus of our discourse and
activism here. ‘Democracy’ is not a short cut but sink of illusions,
enabling the history of sovereigns to reproduce itself. Embrace
anarchist struggle. Get organized, form alliances between
anarchist/anti-authoritarian/emancipator groups, actualize projects,
spread anarchist/anti-authoritarian principles among social movements
but do not be assimilated within these movements. Do not let your
revolutionary desire to be absorbed by ballot boxes or
authoritarian/reformist left-wing circles; on the contrary, smash all
compromise and reconciliation mechanisms. Instead of wasting your energy
in short-cuts that turn it into a labyrinth, channel it into anarchy or
total liberation causes. Be organized, organize, be coordinated, take
action…
With these actions, we salute the recently announced “Anarchist
Groups’ Coordination” that has been constituted by anarchist and
anti-authoritarian groups with common experiences in the struggle.
Having an organization and struggle experience is vital for these
groups. Likewise, we send our support and solidarity wishes to captive
anarchist comrades worldwide.
