All along, exaggeration of the conflicts between imperialist powers makes me annoyed. You’ll say, “so what if you are annoyed, that are those conflicts which executed two huge wars in one century”. There are even more but it should not be thought that these conflicts are primary factors which diffuse with an even strength to every where and in every period.

You can’t avoid conflicts between imperialist powers, neither their sharpening and even nor turning into clashes in certain periods. But also you can’t explain everything with the help of these conflicts. If you are leftist, you would do yourself an injustice. For example you would palter with labour - capital conflict.

May be because of being hopeless, many Marxist intellectuals and politicians are relying on tensions in between the international actors for the last years. European Union will counterbalance USA, some other axis will stop USA, People’s Republic of China will crumple USA like paper. Joking apart, casting the conflicts of imperialist powers for unprecedented parts is not within revolutionist idea.

We know that, we need to keep track of these conflicts, may be benefit from them, but always with an independent perspective. And, how a disaster of peoples outcomes from the peace between imperialists, similarly, overloaded conflicts between imperialists result big tragedies.

We can’t say it should exist or not, these conflicts are the reality of the capitalist world. We should find out the most revolutionist strategy and practise while taking this reality into account.

Why am I writing out these right now?

Turkey is going to an interesting period.

We said transformation plan, we said Neo-Ottomanism…We said this is mainly a project of USA. Now we are adding: Obama is a Neo-Ottoman project for here of ours. In another words, this is the first time that visions of the rulers of Turkey and rulers of USA overlap perfectly. Of course not partnership, etc, this is being a servant. But we have to draw the attention: The political power in Turkey and US government are speaking the same ideological language for the first time -let’s omit earlier- after Soviet’s break up!

They had pointed the same direction in the past, the ones in Turkey had done what had said to them in the past, now they grasp a surprising ideological association.

Dangerous…

It shows the validity of our determination on one of the phases of transformation is completed.

Very well, what is imperialist Europe doing? They have made substantial contribution in the transformation till now. There are examples in other places though, Germany and France prepare the medium, USA finalizes. Same for now. Nowadays, Washington is enjoying the fruit of Berlin-Paris axis emerged interventions in Turkey.

Because Europe cannot built an integrated Turkey strategy. Or cannot feel powerful and brave enough to apply the strategy utterly. Besides, the Europe who cannot solve Turkey problem and cannot be brave enough in Turkey subject (speaking about Germany and France), does not have a chance to say “I am a power of world”.

USA governance knows why her allies are hesitating. She supports their interventions, encourages them for the Turkey subject, but while putting down the outcomes to her own account.

To tell the plain truth: If the long term efforts of Germany and France did not exist, USA would be able to be a significant actor like now in Kurdish problem with only satisfying skills of her Barzani and Talabani kids. What will remain from fast Americanized AKP today when you take out German activities for politicizing the Islamic movement in Turkey and the grow up period of National Vision (Milli Görüş) ? With which “ideological” trick USA will penetrate these lands if you deduct EU’s physical contribution to the “civil society” weave which paralyzes Turkey’s political dynamics and working class even worse? Even Obama himself is a product of Europe climate in a way. So what happened, European imperialists built this climate and then inserted the ones like Merkel and Berlusconi into it.

In short, European imperialists made a historical help to USA on Turkey.

It is better to check out the new balances appeared after the European Parliament elections with this point of view. Yes, increase in xenophobia is so natural with crisis. Bourgeoisie will turn more the racism taps on in Europe who struggles with unemployment, this is a social law. But the real reason of crisis on EU-Turkey relations is Germany and France’s distemper because of conveying Turkey to USA after all their efforts.

A problem-free Turkey for USA is big problem for Europe. Or it means Europe’s quitting to say “I play for high stakes”. I can say a lot to those who talk like “Forget about Turkey, Europe – Russia alliance is rising ”, but one of them is related with the main theme of this article: That who cannot cope with Turkey can never cope with Russia. If Turkey is a stomach ache for Europe, Russia will blow out that stomach.

So what will happen?

Will Europe recognize her defeat of Turkey?

If she recognizes then she will introvert. If she does not recognize there are two options. They will try to stop the transformation of Turkey (Let’s recall the Islamic media’s persistent publishing about the one who is standing by Ergenekon is Germany and Berlin’s same persistent track about Light House - Deniz Feneri subject). Or they will condense their destructive interventions in Turkey to take the initiative of transformation.

To hinder the transformation, it is not very possible after assisting to this transformation for all those years and probably they realized it after some trials. The second thing is that decisiveness is required. I am not sure. However I can guess about the results of Europe’s competition with USA of being the locomotive of the transformation on this territory.

Let’s leave the ones who have a hope from America of Obama and who believe that Washington will set Brussels in order (not very long, just a few years ago they were dreaming the opposite) with their dreams or their betrayals. And finishing: Positioning in between imperialists’ battle of Turkey will decay and kill. To fill the “totally blank” side with working class will revolutionize and glorify.
