WITH
THE PARTY ADVANCE TOWARDS THE REVOLUTION,
GLORY TO OUR 1st CONGRESS!
GLORY TO OUR 1st CONGRESS!
To
the Turkish, Kurdish and various nationalities of our people;
Established
under the leadership of comrade Ibrahim Kaypakkaya on 24 April 1972,
our Party has accomplished its 1st Congress,
which Ibrahim Kaypakkaya planned, but could not lead due to his
imprisonment and subsequent murder in custody.
The
international proletariat and the Communist parties, that embody its
struggle, have always, despite the historical ups and downs marched
forward. By not abandoning the red flag from its first day of
foundation, our party TKP-ML has always remained a important
contingent of this movement.
Our
party TKP-ML has successfully held its first Congress. This Congress
is seen by the Party as an important milestone that is a platform
where shortcomings and weaknesses are discussed and ways to overcome
these weaknesses and shortcomings are formulated; experience and
knowledge is consolidated in order to build on its strengthens to
facilitate further advance.
Our
1st Congress
has a special historical importance for the international
proletariat, the proletariat of our country and our people. Despite
the counter-revolutionary offensive against our party in April 2015
by German imperialism in collaboration with the Turkish state, that
was followed by an opportunist, splitist and liquidationist attack
led by a minority group within the Party, who were ‘leftist’ in
words and rightist in practice, our Congress, firmly embracing its
principles, saluted the achievements of the founders of our party and
rejected all forms of liquidationist attacks.
In
the current climate, where revolutionary struggle faces extreme
disadvantageous conditions, people’s movement has retracted due to
severe attacks by fascist dictatorship on revolutionary, patriotic
and progressive forces; our Party TKP-ML has shown the determination
to successfully complete its 1stCongress.
In this sense, our Congress was an ideological and political response
to the attacks of the fascist dictatorship. No one should doubt that
they will receive a formidable response from us in the battlefield
too.
Our
toiling masses… Workers, peasants, women, youth…
The
fact that the fascist dictatorship has violently won a few footholds
and their spokesmen continues to threatens and voice vicious attacks
against the people, may have made the conditions difficult but this
must never be interpreted in a wrong or one sided way. If everything
was going their way, they would not have needed to continue to cry
out so much. No! The fact is that nothing is going according to their
plans and they are unable to rule the way they want. The state of
economic crisis, which is deepening day by day, has reached such a
point where they cannot manage their crisis by continuing to shift
the burden on the labouring masses anymore.
That’s
why they’re screaming so much.
Although
they are trying to discipline the working class by imposing poverty
and hunger, we see live examples of how a united working class
organise themselves and defeat their attackers.
That’s
why they’re threatening so much.
They
are desperate for a good night’s sleep following the ongoing
nightmares brought about by the resistance of the Kurdish people that
they tried to wipe out by destroying their homes and slaughtering
them in their basements. After waking up quickly from their
hallucinations about “occupying Damascus in three days” faced
with peoples resistance and war in Rojova, they are now trying to
find a secure place under the wings of different imperialist powers.
That’s
why they see a ‘terrorist’ every where they look.
Despite
of all the attacks, they see how tens of thousands of women and
LGBTI+ individuals unite and occupy the streets.
That’s
why they continue with their sexist attacks.
In
short, the reason for all these open attacks, the threats, the
massacres, torture, prison sentences, etc. is their horror and the
recognition of their impending bleak and dark future.
That’s
why they’re afraid! As a result of this fear, they shout so much.
The more they scream and cry out, the more they become afraid and the
more violent they become! They act like a wounded monster who sees
its end approaching! But fear cannot help them! Undoubtedly, our
reckoning will be proportional to our suffering, hardships,
oppression and massacres.
For
us, this side of the coin and what we see there is essential. It is
the organized struggle of the people who will bury them in that
darkness. It is our conscious anger and our class enmity that smash
the reactionaries!
It
is precisely in such a reality that our Party, TKP-ML, carried out
its 1st Congress; to signify that the resistance is ongoing, the
struggle continues, and that there is hope and there is a determined
will to win. The 1st Congress
was a torch lit against the darkness spread by the ruling classes, in
order to shine the path for the toiling masses and the oppressed
Turkish and Kurdish people. We call upon all labouring masses of
people to join us to carry this torch together and to be a part of
the war for liberation and freedom.
The
biggest fear of the dominant classes is the organized pwer of the
masses. An organized mass integrated with the Communist Party will be
the creators of their dark end. Our party, TKP-ML, with its Congress
and its revolutionary communist agenda, has put forward the task and
the will to integrate with the masses of our people from various
nations and nationalities, to fulfil their duties properly and to
prepare the ranks for this war. Our revolutionary march will be
carried forward when this task and will is merged with the limitless
power of the masses.
Overcoming
our shortcomings is our duty!
The
congress, which sets out the aim and claim of power, declares that
the weaknesses and the deficiencies that it has identified as
obstacles to the realization of the revolution are our immediate
tasks in order to resolve to advance to the future. This will be
achieved by not staying away from the class struggle, but on the
contrary to be involved in the central areas of the class struggle
and engage in the sharpest points of contradictions. This will be
achieved under the control of the masses. With its short-term and
medium-term planning in the ideological, political and organizational
fields, the tasks of TKP-ML are the development of the People’s
War, the organization of the working class in cities, the deeper
integration with the Kurdish nation, and the integration with all
dynamics of the oppressed masses, including women, the people’s
youth and the unemployed.
Our
congress was held in an environment where full democracy existed,
important issues on our agenda were discussed, and decisions were
made. The holding of the Congress has concluded the discussions on
program of the Party and accepted the Party program. At the same
time, the party has made various arrangements and additions based on
the suggestions on the statutes.
Our
1st Congress
also made historical decisions in terms of women’s liberation
struggle, by deciding to establish the Communist Women’s Union
(Komünist Kadınlar Birliği / KKB) as an autonomous organization
led by our Party.
Our
1st Congress
directed the orientation in ideological deepening, political
competence, organizational consolidation and military determination
against all the attacks against our party, especially the attacks of
imperialism and fascism.
Our
Party has taken these and other important concrete decisions in its
1st Congress
in order to prevent these issues from only being mentioned and not be
put in practice. With the new organizations and adjustments, our
Party will be able to reach the dynamics that have been mentioned by
analysing in a wider framework from the statute to the program, and
from strategy to current policies. Our mission is not to produce
revolution on paper, but revolution in practice.
In
this sense, our Congress calls on all our people, the millions of
oppressed and exploited, all the workers and laborers, the Kurdish
people, women and the youth to be part of the Democratic People’s
Revolution to establish the power of people for freedom and
liberation against the fascist dictatorship. Without the Democratic
People’s Revolution, we cannot demolish their palaces, establish
our future and achieve progress. As is evident in history, today the
fascist dictatorship can only be demolished by the People’s War.
While
our Party TKP-ML at its 1st Congress
emphasised the crises of the Turkish ruling classes, it also put on
the agenda the issue of countering the fragmentation of revolutionary
and democratic forces, and the need to join forces. It has made
explicit decisions on this issue, to continue to uphold line of
ideological struggle, to create principled common ground against the
aggression of the ruling classes in line with the concrete
objectives. The oppressed labouring masses demand this from us and
the TKP-ML will make every effort to fulfil its duty in this regard.
Undoubtedly,
the economic and political crisis mentioned above is not only valid
for the Turkish ruling classes. While the imperialist capitalist
system continues its decay, it also continues to deepen the
contradiction of the oppressed peoples of the World against
imperialism and reaction. It is not possible to talk about a place in
the world where despite the fragmentation amongt the people the anger
of the oppressed does not pour out in to the streets. On the other
hand, it is fact that the genuine leadership of the revolution, the
communist movements, that is the subjective forces of the revolution,
lag behind in ability to organize and transform this anger to
revolution. A reflection of this is the current weakness in
international relations and the absence of collective and inclusive
organisation. With decisions taken in the 1st Congress,
our party TKP-ML is ready to take the steps to fill this gap in the
international area with the formula “develop our country’s
revolution to serve the world revolution”. While TKP-ML; will
making every effort to carry out the tasks related to the revolution
in our country, it also will extend solidarity with the revolutionary
initiatives and the class struggle in other countries and will work
towards the establishment and the strengthening of the
ideological-political leadership of the proletarian world revolution,
that will lead all these struggles.
Our
1st Congress
honoured and was attributed to our martyred Party’s member Nubar
Ozanyan, regarding him as an exemplary representative of the Party’s
identity in Rojava. The line from Ibrahim Kaypakkaya to Mehmet
Demirdag and Nubar Ozanyan underlines the communist character and the
quality of the dedicated cadres aspired to by our Party. It was
emphasized that we can overcome the current difficult process only by
taking comrade Ozanyan as an example to follow.
Our
communist leader Ibrahim Kaypakkaya, our martyred general secretaries
Süleyman Cihan, Kazim Celik and Mehmet Demirdag, that were
immortalized in the war, and our comrade Nubar Ozanyan, whom this
congress is attributed to and who commanded the military forces in
our Party at its most difficult times, will continue to guide and
teach our party with their ideological-political-organizational
leadership showing that has demonstrated the real meaning and
manifestation of revolution in practice.
GLORY
TO OUR 1st CONGRESS!
LONG
LIVE OUR PARTY TKP-ML, PEOPLE’S ARMY TIKKO, YOUTH ORGANIZATION
TMLGB, AND WOMEN’S ORGANIZATION KKB!
LONG
LIVE THE PEOPLE’S WAR!
LONG
LIVE MARXISM-LENINISM-MAOISM!
LONG
LIVE PROLETARIAN INTERNATIONALISM!
