"A historic task has been placed in the hands of the people of Kurdistan. They may not have asked for it, but that doesn’t matter. It is here, imposed by the implacable forces of history. The most visible example of that is the present war against the people of Iran. That war would have been impossible were it not for the divisions among the peoples of South West Asia North Africa – SWANA. They are divided by religion and ethnicity, as well as on the basis of the national borders drawn by the imperialists. These divisions impede the only form of unity that can resolve the ongoing disaster – the unity of the working class. The Kurdish people span much of the geographical divisions. Yet they, too, tend to be divided from the Arab, Persian and Turkish working class and from those peoples as a whole. Healing that division can create the basis for working class unity throughout the region. That is why liberation of the Kurdish people from their oppression means liberation of the people of SWANA from imperialism, and vice versa – liberation from imperialism means liberation of the Kurdish people. The two tasks are inseparable, and none of this can be accomplished without liberation from capitalism itself. These tasks are integrated with the unification of all workers, Kurdish and non-Kurdish alike, within Kurdistan and against the class enemy – the capitalist class of all ethnic, national and religious backgrounds. "To boil it down to its refined essence, the Kurdish working class is uniquely positioned to unite the working class of the entire region and bring behind themselves the masses of the people of the entire region. "The socialist movement in the United States has paid scant attention to the struggles of the Kurdish people. The little attention that has been paid is often confused at best. This series of articles is written in the hopes of opening a wider discussion on this important struggle...." https://oaklandsocialist.com/2026/03/28/the-kurdish-struggle-and-world-revolution-part-1-turkey/
