NEWS CENTER - Irish Marxist philosopher John Holloway released a message to support call of Abdullah Ocalan and said: “I am deeply honored to join the voices supporting the peace process."

 

Irish Marxist philosopher John Holloway is particularly known for advocating a “revolution without a state,” inspired by the Zapatista movement in Chiapas, and for his ideas on alternative forms of resistance against capitalism.

 

In his message of support of Abdullah Öcalan’s Peace and Democratic Society Call, Holloway said: “I am deeply honored to join the voices supporting the peace process. Every step taken to advance the Kurdish Freedom Movement is not only a gain for the Kurdish people but also a beacon of hope for all peoples around the world.”

 

He continued with the following remarks: “We cannot violently build that other world beyond capitalism that we so desperately want and need. That’s why I wholeheartedly welcome the disarmament. Weapons are made to kill, and killing is the most direct denial of another’s dignity. To change the world, we must reject all symmetrical relationships with power structures. No matter how difficult, we must break their logic. 

 

“Yes, yes, yes to peace, to Öcalan’s freedom, to the advancement of the Kurdish Freedom Movement and all movements that struggle against patriarchy, exploitation, and domination!”
