Re: [L-I] DHKC London Information Bureau - Open Letter to European Left
Dear Comrades, You are right, it is amazing that there has not been a very loud outcry over the conditions in Turkey. In particular the EU citizens should have all chances of putting pressure on the government because of its desire for membership of EU. I think the explanation might be that it's felt hopeless to do anything about such ruthless fascist regime. At least the www.egroups.com/mobilize-globally, www.egroups.com/mobilize-globally-discussion and www.egroups.com/freeallminorities lists, however have brought your messages, as appears from their archives. I would suggest that another sample letter to the prime minister be sent out with a call for people to sign it and send it to the local Turkish embassy or the given email address of mr Ecevitz.

Since October 20 we have been asking the European Left for messages of support. With very few exceptions we have received no response. We have followed what goes on in your irrelevant and generally absurd "left" discussion lists, hoping that some mention of the heroic resistance of over two hundred men and women on hunger strike might get a mention. Why do you remain silent? Are you waiting for people to die before you act? Or is your attitude the same as imperialism and fascism: "They are only terrorists, let them die"? When we organise marches the European Left stays away. When we organise meetings you do not attend them. When people occupy buildings, you are nowhere to be seen. Why? Is this your understanding of international solidarity? Imperialism is happy with your attitude towards us. We are asking you once again whether it is not too late to act. Support the Death Fast Resistance of the revolutionary captives in Turkey and give support to their families.

Re: [L-I] Re: DHKC London Information Bureau - Open Letter to European Left
OK, I'm listening. What is then the exact short version definition of fascism ? I admit that I use the term in a non-marxist meaning, i.e. about the mentality deriving from an extremely suppressed and humiliated childhood, cf. Hitler, etc. Ole Owen Jones wrote: Reply to secr (MG!), at [EMAIL PROTECTED], who wrote on the 19/12/2000 5:23: I think the explanation might be that it's felt hopeless to do anything about such ruthless fascist regime. The Turkish regime is certainly reactionary, yes. But by any real Marxist definition, it is not fascist (has a movement representing a ruined petty-bourgeoisie and all those classes above the proletariat seized power and usurped all elements of working class democracy in society, are we looking at the rule of finance capital, etc...?) This is using "fascist" as a moralistic characterisation rather than a scientific term. We have not really seen fascism in the post-1945 epoch. No matter how brutal the terror of a reactionary regime is, one should not simply use fascist as a handy swearword or propaganda term. This only serves to prevent us from making an accurate class analysis of that regime; in other words, it deceives, and that can be a dangerous thing. Not only that, it strips "fascism" of its scientific meaning and renders it useless. It is a term which should be used only after very careful analysis. I realise a far-Right, extreme-nationalist party is a member of the Turkish regime; however this is not fascist per se, no matter how reactionary it genuinely is. Potentially it can serve as a core for a future fascist movement, but the conditions for fascism are not present in Turkey in the year 2000. Indeed a similar party, the Radical Party of Votislav Sesijl, was part of the old Serbian coalition, but that did not make the old Belgrade regime fascist in character either. Likewise, I would certainly not describe the Freedom Party of Haider in Austria as fascist either; a Rightwing bourgeois-nationalist party whose leadership is not really to the Right of the present British Conservative leadership of William Hague, to be honest.

[L-I] CULTURAL REVOLUTION
MAKE THIS THE BEST OF ALL PLANETS ! The development through billions of years after the Big Bang cannot possibly have created a planet more beautiful than ours. Nowhere in the universe can such a divine music have been conceived as in the brains of our immortal composers. Nowhere can the enchantment by the sweetness and gracefulness of the infant be compared with that of the human child. And the ingenious and overwhelmingly amazing principle of unity by one single cell having developed into the present vast variety of plants and animals, makes all living organisms one huge family with one shared identical system for all cell information. Thus confirming the reason for the respect for and harmony with nature as originally practised by the peaceful indigenous cultures. That all of the living organisms feed by eating eachother is less sympathetic. But that is common for all of the planets. So if we really have the right spirit to win the race, we have all chances of beating the ugly little green men on Mars and elsewhere ! A collateral gain by the appropriate steps to win the interplanetary contest is the survival of the life on our planet. There are only two minor problems to be solved before the victory is ours : ALL evil on Earth derives from those parents who don't give their children the unlimited and unconditional love, respect, security and freedom to natural unfolding that was practized by certain indigenous cultures in the past. Everything short hereof is mistreatment of a more or less severe character. The great tragedy of mankind and planet is that the mistreatment is carried on from one generation to the next. By some psycological mechanism the parent who was mistreated as little, typically will mistreat the offspring in the same way. The development of our cerebellum programmed with a fixed set of instincts including the protective instincts for preventing repression and humiliation of the infant under all circumstances, has not matched the enormous development of the cerebrum, because not up until now has such development of the cerebellum been decisive for the survival of our species. Brain function research shows that we are designed to ADAPT to such extent that we more or less ARE our environment. If our first experience is evil, we become programmed with evil for rest of our life, and correspondingly for goodness. Typically the suppressed and humiliated child will spend rest of the life with striving for power. Any type of society therefore tends to be governed by such mentally deranged individuals which are the very least fit for leading others. In the capitalist society they are attracted by the center of power formed by the transnational corporations, their mass media monopoly and their governments which now threatens the very existence of life on Earth. The interplanetary contest therefore requires two measures: 1. Immediate transfer of the economic and political power from the transnational corporations, their mass media monopoly and their governments, to the peoples. The necessary strategies are described in http://www.unitedpeoples.net 2. Breach of the cultural vicious circle of mistreatment of the infant. Even if the irreversible stage of the global warming may not already have arrived we have in such best case only very short time to act. But although the fastest track would be sterilization/castration of everybody who has not had a happy childhood, this radical solution for various reasons has to be considered unrealistic. The next best solution therefore includes an information campaign to discourage these people who don't love children as such, from breeding. Children must never just be a customary belonging or a status symbol. Make the law consider any physical or psychological mistreatment of children the worst of all crimes. From the viewpoint of Mother Earth, mental damaging of a child is far worse than physical killing of it. Educate in school about the needs and the proper handling of infants. Allocate a large part of the funding for cultural purposes to the progressive pedagogues and community so they can start this fundamental cultural revolution. The child oppressing culture - in particular the Christian - must be replaced by the Society Of The Child where the infant is worshipped and programmed with goodness for rest of its life. Besides saving the planet, this will solve all problems and make 1000 flowers bloom. Comments are invited.
