The text below introduces our politics to those who are exposed to our literature for the first time. It was first published in issue No. 1 of İşçi Mücadelesi (Workers’ Struggle) in January-February 2002. İşçi Mücadelesi came out every two months until October 2005, when it was transformed into a monthly.

Workers’ Struggle aims at building socialism, a classless society in which the workers today laboring in the factories owned by Sabancı, Koç and all other capitalists, along with all other workers and laborers, will make the decisions concerning the whole society on the basis of social ownership of the means of production.

Workers’ Struggle aims for the working class and the oppressed to establish, through a process of permanent revolution, the government of the proletariat, which means the organization of the working class as the ruling class in the realm of politics and economy.

Workers’ Struggle aims at constructing an economy run not for profit but for social need, based on collective ownership of large-scale production, trade and finance through a central planning in which the working masses will participate in a democratic manner and will over time play a more effective role in the decision making process.

Workers’ Struggle aims at building socialism, through the destruction of imperialism by way of a world revolution.

Workers’ Struggle says “No to the European Union”, since the EU is the imperialist unification of European monopoly capital, trying to increase its strength against the USA and Japan. Workers’ Struggle supports all efforts aiming at the destruction of the imperialist EU and establishing the United Socialist States of Europe.

Workers’ Struggle supports the oppressed nations and countries. It also upholds the defense of the countries of the oppressed nations against imperialism and the defeat of imperialism by the common struggle of the peoples of the world.

Workers’ Struggle argues that the only way to put an end to wars, which cause immense suffering for humanity, is through building a classless society.

Workers’ Struggle defends the equality of all nations and languages and supports the right of self-determination and the fraternity of peoples.

Workers’ Struggle supports the struggle for the emancipation of women and aiming to organize the socialist economy in a manner consonant with the abolition of inequality among the sexes and the social division of labor that underlies this inequality.   

Workers’ Struggle supports a kind of socialism that will make nature the common habitat of human beings and all the other species.

Workers’ Struggle defends the right of all young people, and in the first place, the working youth, to receive a free, egalitarian, worldly, scientific and democratic education, and aims at establishing the Free Laborers’ University.

Workers’ Struggle defends the organization of the workers in trade unions and the toppling down of the trade union bureaucracy. It intends to construct a revolutionary workers’ party organized according to Leninist principles to achieve socialism, which is the real emancipation of the working class.

Workers’ Struggle intends to construct the world party of the socialist revolution, i.e. a Workers’ International, since the initiative of the working class of a single nation is not enough to build socialism in this epoch when productive forces have assumed an international character as a result of the development of capitalism. This International will take its inspiration and program from the revolutionary periods of the First, Second and Third Internationals and from the tradition of the Fourth International.

Workers’ Struggle, defending the principle that the movement toward socialism can be completed only by supporting of the world revolution and the system of workers’ councils, condemns the bureaucratic tyranny in the former workers’ states and stands for the return to the fundamentals of Marxism on the question of socialism. However, despite their bureaucratic administrations, Workers’ Struggle defends the existing workers’ states such as China and Cuba against capitalist restoration and imperialism and supports the struggle of the workers of these countries for power.

Workers’ Struggle, in the face of capitalist barbarism, defends labour, peace and freedom and aims to reach socialism.
