The nature of the growing fascist beast.
Turkey’s inhuman and genocidal invasion of NE Syria has been celebrated and lauded in the controlled media, spurring a wave of proud male xenophobic nationalism. Now you are seen as a traitor if you even mention the economic crash, Erdogan’s crimes, or his defeat in Istanbul elections. Turkey has Indicted 78 People for Criticizing the Invasion of Syria on social media . ( Even this blog is banned with many others in Turkey). How can this be happening?
‘The Fascist conception of the State is all-embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value. A Supreme dictator embodies the fascist State, using terror as a tool of control because when humans are scared, they are easy to control and manipulate’.
‘Fear is the ultimate weapon for it works on your own people as well as your enemies. (see:Erdogan Jails and Tortures 195,000 People who Might not Like Him) Add to the mix some flag-centric nationalism, total control of the media, some uber-macho militarism and a corporatist hierarchy that puts the “right” people of the master race in power, and you’ve got the makings of a top notch fascist regime’.
War and takeover of neighbours is essential to fascist ideology, achieving growth by looting and ‘proof’ of racial superiority by oppressing and often killing minorities.
The Rojava Revolution is a mortal threat to traditional Turkish nationalism, for being anti-terrorists, against dictatorship, against the nation State and against predator capitalism, climate chaos and environmental breakdown.
The horizontal ideology being implemented from below in Rojava is anti authoritarian, based on feminism, , ecology, co-ops, multi-culturalism, peaceful coexistence, shared decentralized power and without a nation state. Crucially the revolution has spread beyond the Kurdish majority areas, to Arab, Armenian, Syriac, Womens, Christian and Azidi (etc) communities in Raqqa, Manbij, Tabqa,etc, whose militias are united in the SDF resistance to the Turkish onslaught.
As such the Rojava Revolution is hated and feared by fascists like Erdogan, who suppressed it’s ideas in Turkey by bombing his own cities to rubble in 2015, and is universally rejected and disparaged by all statists, authoritarians, capitalists, state communists and religious sectarians.
Those friends who #RiseUp4Rojava are us ordinary people, all over the planet, who see it as a workable embryo and template of a new human system that could save the world from utter destruction. Viva Rojava! No Pasarán!
‘There’s a hundred ways to Boycott the Turkish State
- Talk to your friends, family and colleagues about #BoycottTurkey and ask them to reconsider holiday plans to Turkey or using Turkish companies. It is important to remember, however, that this is a boycott of corporations and organizations which support the Turkish state financially and militarily, not your local Turkish restaurant or corner shop.
- Get out on the streets, support the many protests, picket government and companies that support and profit from the Turkish war machine and NATO. Link up with the Climate change movement. Write to your MP or councillor, or submit a motion to your union branch or wherever, declaring support for the #BoycottTurkey campaign.

#Fight4Rojava – Dossier on International Suppliers of the Turkish State War Machine
Posted on 2019/11/08 by anarchistsworldwide
Received on 08.11.19:
Infuriated by the invasion, genocide, and ethnic cleansing being carried out against the peoples of northern and eastern Syria and the revolutionaries in Rojava and beyond, by Turkey, their proxy forces and fascist Erdogan? You know direct action gets the goods, but how to begin when you are located somewhere like the so-called USA or northern Europe? Well, below is a jumping off point. After some preliminary research, we gathered information on companies that help Turkey as a fascist state build power, and companies that literally build Turkey’s war machines- which are currently being used to carry out the previously mentioned, and atrocious attacks. As anarchists, we don’t rely on the state or anyone else to act for us, we must find a way to begin. Consider the information below such an alternate way to begin.
This research was originally intended for a US audience, but the companies taking part far exceed the imaginary borders of one country. We hope anarchists everywhere put this information to use in the most effectual ways they see fit.

‘There’s a hundred ways to defend Rojava’: a statement from British Internationalists in North East Syria
Tom Anderson , 4th November 2019
We will continue to work alongside our friends and comrades here in North Eastern Syria. We will resist any and all attempts by the fascist Turkish State and their ‘paid jihadi mercenaries’ from destroying everything that has been achieved here through resistance, sacrifice and bravery.
Of course the revolution is a work in progress. It’s not a utopia. It’s built on the daily sweat and effort of thousands of women and comrades, giving time and energy towards developing a better world, even when its hard, even when it’s dangerous, even when it’s boring or uncomfortable or incredibly complicated. The revolution is constant work, and there’s enough of that work to do without one of the largest armies in the world trying to annihilate what has been built.
image via Rojava Information Center with permission
This work of building a better world, slowly but surely, starting from wherever we are, is the work we came to learn about and the work we want to do. But let’s be realistic – any project that offers a real alternative is threatening to the status quo, and will always risk attack. Self-defence has to be a part of what we do.
There’s a hundred ways to defend Rojava, both here and from outside.
We will be here, doing whatever we can and whatever we must, and almost definitely still drinking tea and dancing. And because we’re fighting for the same things, there’s no difference being here or being halfway across the world. We hope to see you all in the struggle, side by side, even when we’re far apart.
In memory of the resistance of Anna Campbell and all those who have fallen in the fight for freedom.
Turkey is cynically using Syrian refugees in its plans to ethnically cleanse northern Syria
US admits it Knew Turkey would commit genocide before betraying Rojava /
Did the US promise the Kurds that Washington would protect them.?
“When the attack on Afrin occurred last winter, we told people, based on Washington’s guidance to reassure our partners ‘We can’t do anything about Afrin (which Turkey and its jihadi mercenaries attacked last year, dispossessing 170,000 people) because we aren’t there; no troops or air power. But we are here in the northeast. We are your close partner. Afrin can’t happen here.’” The US clearly misled the SDF on this. It asked them to sacrifice Afrin, not work with the Syrian regime, not take part in Geneva, and then fueled Turkey’s attack and the cleansing of the Kurdish minority. And the US got 10,000 of the SDF to die. from .. US admits it Knew
Iraqi Kurds unite in support of Rojava and to Boycott Turkey
READ IN TURKISH: Türkçe Amberin Zaman November 4, 2019 The oft-disunited Kurds of Iraq, Syria and Turkey are united against Turkey’s invasion of areas in Syria where Kurds had achieved self-rule. But Turkey’s Oct. 9 assault against a US-backed Kurdish militia in northeastern Syria has prompted an unprecedented display of pan-Kurdish solidarity. The Iraqi Kurds are at the vanguard of protests against Turkish belligerence, with many boycotting Turkish products. Unusually, their leaders are taking a harder line too.
Turkish Genocide, Invasion and Ethnic Cleansing continues against Rojava Revolution….STOP TURKEY
The designation of the PKK as terrorists and Turkey’s inclusion of all Kurdish groups as part of the PKK gives it impunity to massacre the YPG/YPJ and SDF who are also thus restricted from seeking international support.
Erdogan evidently has no interest in peace, only in exploiting and victimizing the 18 million Kurds in Turkey and fanning race hatred among his conservative power base to successfully extend his position towards all powerful Fuhrer.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitoring group, said the man was run over in the village of Sarmasakh near the border by a Turkish vehicle which was conducting a joint patrol with the Russians – the third under a cease-fire deal brokered by Moscow that forced Kurdish fighters to withdraw from areas bordering Turkey.
The man was among a group of residents who had chased and pelted a convoy (pictured, Turkish army vehicles on patrol in Alakamis, southern Turkey, today) with shoes and stones, prompting Turkish troops to fire tear-gas to disperse the protesters.

JInwar womens village evacuated
It came after the all-women’s ‘safe space’ village of Jinwar was evacuated as President Erdogan’s troops advanced. Meanwhile, the village of Jinwar, meaning ‘women’s land’, which houses many whose husbands died fighting ISIS, was reportedly evacuated on Monday as Turkish forces loomed.
Its population had swelled from about 16 women and 32 children in May, to around double.

Journalists, social media users and protesters have been accused of “terrorism” and subjected to criminal investigation, arbitrary detention and travel bans. If prosecuted and found guilty, they could face lengthy prison sentences.
