doesn’t help when ur consistuation backs the militaries right to have coup whenever it feels “internal unity” is at risk. Also you can’t entirety blame stuff like turkish chauvinism on stuff like gladio

which’s brings back the question why are turks like that my personal opinion, they’re the german equivalent of asia

Turkey goated

socialists know that would be suicide

doesnt mean they wont do it cause they fw suicide

but macron will probably go right instead

Prior to AKP/Erdogan’s era, the military in Turkey saw itself as the guardian of the Republic’s Kemalist principles (westernization, laicism, and nationalism), intervening when these principles were at risk. The last successful coup was in the 1980s. Before that, in the 1970s, internal unity was indeed fragile, with fascists and leftists killing each other - mfs would ask you if you read leftist or rightist newspapers & beat you up if they find out you’re supporting the other side lol. Gov backed political interventions back then mostly aimed to suppress both conservative/Islamist and communist movements, going to extreme lengths after the 1980 coup.

Even during Atatürk’s presidency, any ideas outside his authoritarian, laicist, Westernization goals were eliminated - despite initial support from the Soviets/Lenin and Turkish socialists in the War Of Independence. He even created a faux Communist Party to counter real leftist influence and killed multiple communist leaders.

In the 1990s, the PKK/KCK grew in influence, initially Marxist-Leninist but later on shifting their ideology to Bookchins ritaRism - now these confused b******s are getting backed by the f***ing US Millitary, are killing civilians with unnecessary suicide bombings & other terrorist actions and think that makes them revolutionary. This allows the Turkish government to label any real leftist movements as PKK sympathizers - easy game.

Since the 2000s, Erdoğan’s regime has reduced the military’s political influence to align with EU membership efforts and consolidate civilian control, ending the era of possible constitutional backed military coups tbf.

Nobody claims that Turkish chauvinism is solely because of Gladio but it is important to highlight that the reason leftism isn’t significant in Turkey is that it was never allowed to grow politically since the beginning of the Republic, while fascist ideologies spread comfortably. The peak of leftist popularity was in the 1960s-80s, with millions of Turks supporting leftist ideas - NATO invested heavily in eradicating this influence and that’s just facts.

What has China or Russia materially done to stop the genocide?

They aren't doing the genocide you f***ing idiot. That's the difference. How did this not occur to you? Is your brain intact? Can you count to 3? Absolute idiot. No words.

China's position on Palestine is actually worse than the US if only because it doesnt generate a similar level of condemnation on the left. their role in upholding israeli apartheid is counterrevolutionary and their is no getting around that. dont take it from me tho, I'm only palestinian.

you would actually think the genocide of my people would snap dengists out of their s*** but no, its truly middle class kids projecting things onto that country that it isnt out of wishful thinking.

That was certainly an overreaction

What about Marxism makes people lose decency with each other?

Bc u are snarky for no reason

Yo quick question. How many gaza children has China killed?

by not divesting from israel? countless. but the exact number is both irrelevant and unknowable. the point is that they have a responsibility toward those children and are currently failing them.

china is not really unique in this regard and I never expected them to do anything to help our situation but it was you who felt the need to defend the honor of their ruling class so

W. You won.
