erty, religion and moral values are all regarded as a loss of values of
communal society. The web site Serxwebun (Independence), one of
the PKK's publishing organizations, describes the importance of com-
munal living in these terms:

The communal quality in the formation of a social existence is a
question related to the essence, not to shape. It proves that soci-
ety can only survive in a communal manner. Losing the com-
munal quality is identical to not being a society any longer. Any
development against communal values means also the loss of
certain values of the society. That being the case, it is realistic
to regard communal life as the fundamental life-style. The

human being species cannot maintain its existence without this
life-style. 92

By means of the expression in the quotation, stated as "any devel-
opment against communal values," the moral values such as religion
and good morality are intended. In such a system founded on no

moral values, it is impossible for concepts like mercy, compassion or
love to prevail. For that reason, due to this distorted belief system,
man is considered to be a worthless being. As a result of that mindset,
for example, a senior member of the PKK is easily able to order the
terrorists under his command to shoot their injured colleagues in the
head (this will be described in detail under the heading "Internal exe-
cutions in the PKK"). According to them, children being injured dur-

ing demonstrations or women being killed are unimportant. In these
people's opinion, even if they are Kurds women and children are of
no more value than sheep, and there is therefore nothing wrong with
sacrificing them.

The need for a return to communal living and the importance of
this to the organization is set out as follows in the introduction to the
KCK Contract:
