Afrin belongs to the peoples of Afrin. Peoples living in Afrin were born in these lands and died in these lands. Living there is not related to any plans or programs. They are not in Afrin as part of a strategy. Afrin, for them is water, bread, food, play, stories, friends, mates, lovers, streets, homes, neighborhoods. But for the state, it is only a strategy. A strategy that does not care about Afrin or the peoples of Afrin. [Türkçe] [Castellano] [Ελληνικά] [Français] [Italiano]

The attack on Afrin is a strategy of the Energy War that has resulted in the breakdown of Syria and that will break down many states in the region. States create the illusion that they are waging these wars "for their citizens". They make nationalist conservative propaganda to convince their citizens of this misconception. This is an inescapable need both internally and externally. While it is required for elections internally, it is valid on the tables externally. Rulers who go through a completely commercial process such as the extraction, transportation and sale of energy resources use all their materials to increase their gains. In these discussions where the numbers of rifles, tanks, airplanes are important, the number of soldiers is the most important. A soldier is no different than a material. This is why the nationalist conservative fallacy is created

Who would join a war so that some gain more? Who would fight for gasoline which is always sold by states or companies everywhere? A drop of it costs more than bread. We, the ones who live with the fact that all prices go up when the price of a liter of gasoline goes up, we who always loose. Why should we always fight for the ones who always win? Actually nobody would fight for them. They know this fact and this is why they need nationalism, conservatism.

Now they are are shouting from newspapers and televisions, the false slogans of "national, national, national!", "National will, national unity". They can never say clearly, "We are pinching pennies," "Fight or tfight, we will sell the gasoline and everything to you. We will make you produce it, we will make you consume it, and we will exploit you." This is the plan, program, strategy and war of the states. We peoples – those who are compulsory citizens of states – can change everything. Today, the people of Afrin live freely because they changed it. As in Kobanê, Cizére, Chiapas. And this is the critical difference between the peoples’ war and the war of states. In its war, the state attacks and attacks without rules so that its system gains more. The state bombs with tanks and airplanes. It wounds, kills, murders and wants all life captivated. As for the peoples' war, there is freedom.

For the last two days, each bomb dropped on Afrin, each bullet is a bullet to freedom. The Turkish state, which wants to increase its share on the table, has started the Afrin attack. It is a strategy created by nationalism and conservatism which is based on this fallacy. It's all an election strategy. It is a commercial strategy completely. The war of the state is a strategy. But the peoples’ war is freedom. And no state can defeat peoples fighting for freedom.
