Obama and European Union, silent and tolerating the coup until it failed
JULY 15TH 2016: TURKISH PEOPLE DEFEATED PRO-IMPERIALIST MILITARY COUP
To finish with coupist military, the anti-coup people, kurdish movement, trade unions and the left have to oppose a democratic revolutionary program to Erdogan’s reactionary bonapartism
In the night from July 15th to the 16th, turkish people conquered the streets defeating the reactionary and pro-imperialist military coup d'état attempt. Under the ‘secular’ flag, pro-imperialist turkish Army, killer of kurdish people and with a long tradition of coups d’etat, put the tanks on the streets assassinating hundreds of civilians, bombing Parliament and imposing curfew. Without arms, facing tanks and bullets, workers defeated the Army. The pictures of people jumping on the tanks, disarming soldiers and crowding the squares had a big impact all around the world. The lesson taught to the peoples is huge: the masses in the streets are more powerful than the Army. The coups can be defeated with a decisive popular intervention.
