The cost of these have always been countless deaths, torture, persecution and more violent attacks on rights and freedoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">Attempts to drown the calls of the oppressed and exploited peoples, for democracy and freedoms, with military coups and consequent dominant politics is nothing new.\u00a0Military coup attempts are not and could never be the antidote to the one-man, one-party politics pursued today by Tayyip Erdo\u011fan and the AKP government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">Furthermore, such attempts will be used as a basis for quicker and more violent implementation of these policies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">Erdo\u011fan and the AKP government, calling their supporters out on to the streets \u201cagainst the plotters\u201d, will attempt to use this situation to repair their shaken reputation \u2013 the result of opportunistic and inconsistent internal and external politics &#8211; and to reach their reactionary and fascistic aims. The scenes of swinging saw blades and swords, a confrontational attitude reminiscent of IS,\u00a0are indicative of this happening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">It is clear that all citizens of Turkey from different nationalities and beliefs, squeezed into a position between a rock and a hard place, can not be subjected to a choice only between a military coup and a one-man, one-party dictatorship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">The only choice and the path to the liberation of the people is the establishment of a Turkey that is truly secular and democratic.\u00a0The way out of this anti-democratic seige is the safeguarding of democratic rights and political freedoms. The solution is the struggle for a people\u2019s democracy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\">Selma G\u00dcRKAN<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#000000\">Chairwoman<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#000000\">Emek Partisi<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#000000\">Labour Party (Turkey)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The people\u2019s choice is not one between a military coup or the one-man, one-party dictatorship.
