Resistanbul!


I wish I had time to write up something on the inspiring uprising in Turkey: #OccupyGezi, a kind of reborn Occupy movement on steroids, sweeping across Turkey's cities. Repression has been sporadic, and actually quite dramatic today. This graphic was created by a comrade from one of movement photographer Jenna Pope's amazing images. It will have to do until I get some time to write something up.

Meanwhile, good stuff, including historical analyses from the communist movement in Turkey that also addresses the complex ethnic patchwork in that country, is being regularly posted on Kasama.
