"THE PARTY HAS A THOUSAND EYES" We share the poem "In Praise of the Party", of Bertolt Brecht along with the article titled “ Is being unorganized a virtue?” of Kemal Okuyan, the member of the CC of TKP and the editor of the daily soL : In Praise of the Party The individual has only two eyes The Party has a thousánd eyes. The Party can see seven lands The individual a single city. The individual has only his hour The Party has many hours. The individual can be annihilated But the Party cennot be annihilated For it is the vanguard of the masses And it lays out its battles According to the methods of our classics, which are derived from The recognition of reality. Bertolt Brecht ......................................................................................................... Is being unorganized a virtue? As the people’s movement raises the struggle, the attempts by some to create an antagonism between the “citizens” and “organizing” also intensify. These are either the government officials, or the so called intellectuals full of ego without any understanding of the “collective” culture or the members of the Trojan-horse style organizations within the people. What do the people want? They want the government to resign. What will fill the vacuum if the government resigns? A political alternative… A political alternative cannot be without an organization. As AKP relies on being organized, the people must also organize. Unions, mass organizations are crucial but they are not enough… It is a must to organize politically. The most advanced tool for organizing politically is the party. The people are seeking an alternative. Those that are breeding “animosity towards organization” are the ones that are afraid of that alternative. Last week in Turkey was more intense than the sum of past 35 years in Turkey. I am not even saying “the people have been transformed”… Let’s also leave the uprising aside. At the end of this week, a real people have emerged. A sum of individuals that does not demand rights, that inures or submits cannot be called people. Real people are what we saw this week! These people have been forming their own local committees. They are forging the culture of solidarity and the ability to move forward together. All this is very important. But along with this, it is also important for the people to organize politically. Those who promote un-organization, spreading animosity towards organization are the brothers in arms of Bülent Arınç. They are in alliance with those who want to break the popular resistance. Erdoğan, Gül, Arınç and all their chums are free to organize, they are free to take over the state organization and the “citizen” will have to be content with a few innocent demands! You gotta be kidding me! Kemal Okuyan, member of CC of TKP
