Kurdish rebels threaten new fight in Turkey as Syria clashes intensify Oct 23 13 28η Οκτωβρίου Oct 14 13 Αλληλεγγύη σ ... May 06 13 OADE on nationalist parades![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Lets be absent from the parade of 25 March this year! Leaflet distributed by OADE this 25th of March against the nationalistic ghosts of the Great Greece In this country we have been grown with the (nationalistic) ghosts of the Great Greece, with our ancient ancestors and the immortal Greek Nation of thousands of years of life. A fairy tale that nourished lots of generations in the school and the army. A monstrous mixture of ancient Greek and Christian beliefs, with the fight by the Church always against every kind of social freedom since 1821 until today. In fact, we are actually as ancient Greek as our neighbours Turks are, and also the Albanians and the Macedonias. In our veins is rolling the same blood as of every one from the Balkans, the Europe, the Earth! In the Balkans trilingual or multilingual populations and similar cultural characteristics between them existed. But for a century now they have been bleeding in the name of the national borders and the Great Homelands. Who can convince us that the army protects the freedom when only its existence removes this freedom away? The national parades are war anthems. They promote the… tallest, most powerful, first ones. It is an inhuman prelude with a racist behaviour. They are not but anti-social events and we have to think about this! The poison of nationalism promotes people with pain. The borders and the national armies separate the populations and destroy the communication between them. Greece is characterized by a hard-core nationalism that its deep roots can be found in the Education. This is the first place where the false fabrication of “national conscience” takes a shape. The Greek State is one of the few ones worldwide which is organising military type school parades as they have been established by the Metaxas fascist dictatorship in 1936. However, our life is not a military service… IMMEDIATE ABOLITION OF THE NATIONAL PARADES! Federation of Anarchists of Western Greece (OADE) March 2005 * Note: The 25th of March marks the anniversary of the revolution of Greeks (and also Turks and other ethnic populations living in the Greek area) against Ottoman Empire in 1821. It is one of the two National Days in Greece (the other one is in 28 October when in 1940 the Mussolini regime attacked Greece). This leaflet, written and produced by the Federation of Anarchists of Western Greece (OADE), will be distributed widely in the cities and towns where OADE has a presence and where on 25 March parades and other similar festivities will take place.

This unjustifiable carnage has again exposed the true face of state terrorism in Turkey. This slaughter exposes the hypocrisy of Erdogan, whose regime has its hands soaked in Kurdish blood while he speaks cynically of human rights in other countries. But it also highlights the hypocrisy of an "international community" that is shocked by the repression in Syria, while it assists the silent slaughter of the Kurdish people. The Kurdish people are now mobilized to define their political project of liberation and to resist the four States which occupy them and oppress them (Syria, Turkey, Iran and Iraq). The slightest sense of decency and humanity should impel us to show solidarity with them. [Castellano] [Français] [العربية]
The guards have brought your letters when I was in the open-air-area. The guard gave the letters which are full of love and comrades’ salutes. “There are so many letters that our eyes hurt when reading them all.” he said jokingly. I said, “I am a political prisoner, it seems like you will get tired of the letters I receive.”
This study of recent anti-imperialist resistance in Kurdistan, looking back to the anarchist resistance in the Ottoman heartland in the period before the formation of the Turkish state, consists of extracts – kindly proof-read in part by Will Firth – from the forthcoming book by Schmidt & van der Walt, Global Fire: 150 Fighting Years of International Anarchism & Syndicalism, Counter-power Vol.2, AK Press, USA, scheduled for release in about 2011.
The initial title of this statement was “For the national army and exemption papers (I5) from it”
The attempted invasion of Turkey by the ANZACs and other Alied forces in 1915 was a typical episode in World War 1. "Defending Australia" had nothing to do with it. The war was fought between two rival imperial alliances, each out to gain territory, colonies and markets. more >>
