COMMUNISM IN AMBUSH
202

After these stages are completed, and having established political
dominance over the region, the communist movement, in the second
step, wages a seemingly political, yet in truth an armed struggle in order
for the region to achieve autonomy. The terms that are frequently used
in such processes such as "self-governance", "federative autonomy",
"confederation", etc., are nothing but fancy political jargon used for the
project of dividing the unitary state.
For communism, autonomy is one of the most important mile-
stones on the road to sovereign communist dictatorship: Once auton-
omy is achieved in a region, it becomes quite easy to completely separate
this region from the homeland. It becomes only a matter of time before
declaring independence through the authority to "call for referendum",
which the administrators such as the Governor or the Mayor of the "re-
cently autonomous" region will have acquired. It will not be hard for the
communist militants who possess all sorts of suppressive and deterring
powers over the people to force them to reach a secession decision, or
even achieve an almost 100% success rate in a possible referendum on
this subject.
The multi-staged method of the communist movement to seize
power is explained by Lenin as follows:
Both resolutions state that t the present revolution is only our first step,
which will be followed by a second; but from this, one resolution draws
the conclusion that we must take this first step all the sooner, get it over all
the sooner, win a republic, mercilessly crush the counter-revolution, and
prepare the ground for the second step. 148
As a matter of fact, all these tactics and developments we have
summarized briefly have happened in our country not long ago.
Striving for years to assert de facto regional dominance in the Southeast
of Turkey and having exercised ruthless control over the local commu-
nity through its armed structure, the terrorist organization PKK has es-
tablished overwhelming dominance over certain municipalities in the
region by means of its political extensions. In this way, the terrorist or-
ganization exploits certain municipalities for meeting all their logistical
needs, from housing its militants to the transportation of items such as
weapons or bombs, from digging ditches and setting up barricades to
planting tons of remote-controlled mines on highways.
