Turkish state, once again closed Taksim Square for the millions on 1st of May which he
used to ''open'' couple of years ago. He attacked with his baton, water cannons, tear gas
bombs, plastic bullets to the people who wanted to be in Taksim Square on the 1st of May
for their slained brothers and sisters. He injured and took many workers, revolutionists,
oppressed onesinto custody;he didn't allow ambulances to enter for the woundeds... Last
year turkish state attacked to the resistants as he did in the previous forbidden 1st of
May's. But what happened that day didn't discouraged the resistants, conversely the anger
of the 1st of May fired a revolt. ---- Days after the 1st of May, the roads which lead to
Taksim were shut down by the police for the second time. The government wanted to shut
down Taksim to the resistants who fight against state terror, police brutality, capitalist
exploitation; who stand up for their lives, for freedom. But he couldn't succeed this
time; the anger which began with the 1st of May grew larger and larger on 31st of May, and
turned into a rebellion with hundreds of thousands of people filling up the streets. Even
with the same brutality, with hours of clashes the police couldn't succeed; he couldn't
close the streets or Taksim to resistants. On that day, it was called account for the
forbidden 1st of May's, for the slained workers of '77, for the revolutionist we've lost
during all these years, for poverty, for injustice...
With this soul of revolt, workers increased their combat against carrying out
subcontracting work, against bosses, against work murders, against capitalism. They
organized strikes and occupations against bosses who stole their bread , against
capitalism who stole their lives.They occupied their factories and created their own
producing areas, they trusted self-organizations, not syndicates. With the soul of revolt
they took direct action, they grew the struggle day by day.
On these days, like each year, state says it forbidded Taksim Square, closed it to workers
by making up many excuses, he offers different locations for the 1st of May, he tries to
isolate Taksim from the anger of the 1st of May. But he forgets something, the oppressed
ones which he didn't count until this day, are winning with their own organizations.
As always, we will be in Taksim on the 1st of May this year. Despite the police
barricades, police brutality, state pressure we will fight and won't back out from Taksim.
Centuries before these days, with the faith on our comrades who were killed in 1886, we
will be on the streets with anger of knowing that there are still workers and oppressed
ones are being killed.
We will burn the fire of revolt with Mehmet, Ali ?smail, Abdullah, Hasan Ferit, Ahmet,
Medeni, Ethem and Berkin this year. We know that starting a revolt is winning the revolt!
To Taksim on the 1st of May to win! To Anarchist Revolution With Action!
