Work! We Have Funerals -- Murderer State will Account For This! (tr)
One of the biggest political massacres of the Republic of Turkey took place at the Peace
Rally which was participated by the workers that came from all parts of Turkey. The rally
was organised with the call of DISK (Confederation of Revolutionary Workers Unions), KESK
(Confederation of Public Workers Union) and TMMOB Union of Chambers of Turkish Engineers
and Architects in Ankara on the 10th of October. Our sisters and brothers, friends and
comrades demanding peace have been murdered, hundreds of them are injured. Although it has
been orchestrated by the hands of ISIS gang, we know that, just like the Suruç Massacre,
state and AKP who is holding state power in their hands are those who are in fact
responsible for this massacre. We have seen once again that AKP is capable of doing
everything not to lose the power and weaker it gets, more brutal it will get.
Suruç massacre, dirty war tactics in operation in Kurdish cities, political raids, fascist
attacks and lastly this massacre in Ankara shows us that those in power are capable of
doing everything to protect their power and to drag us to a to a national and sectarian
civil war. And we are late for everyday we do not express a strong reaction.
If they are doing everything to fuel the war and turn peaceful actions into bloodbaths, we
have no other chance but to use the greatest power we have, the power that comes from
production, to halt life in order to damn the massacre, to stop the war and to get rid of
the murderers. Therefore, call of DISK, KESK, Turkish Doctors´ Union and TMMOB for a
general strike on the 12th and 13th of October is meaningful. However, members and non
members of the calling unions and professional organisations should act in unity in order
for this call not to become a symbolic call.
We see every day we live that we have no other solution but to accelerate the class based
struggle and establish a revolutionary alternative against this system of violence and
murder. The more we bow to the daily concerns and fears more unbearable , our lives become
as days go for all of us. We are all mourning, filled with rage and have funerals to
attend to at the aftermath of the murder of at least 102 people from all corners of
Turkey. Let us not forget that bosses cannot prevent us from attending the funerals of our
murdered sisters and brothers who were killed in Ankara. It is our legal and human right
to say "No work if there is war and massacre", to say "No work! We have funerals". We have
that power and we have no other solution, we the hundreds and thousands of people who took
to the streets despite of all kinds of oppression and threats, who are able to demand
peace against all odds
Class War Against War
No Work If There Is War
No Work! We Have Funerals.
