What does it mean to fight for global internationalism here? What are our ideas for an internationalism? What can we learn from the past, what should we critically examine, and how can we find new forms and paths? Today, we were only able to begin addressing these questions, and yet we have already started to live out internationalism in the here and now. The day began with cooking together at the community kitchen, which takes place regularly and is dedicated to various political topics.
Afterward, we went to the Kurdish Center for a communal meal, where people from diverse backgrounds had already gathered. The evening continued with Kurdish music and songs of resistance.
The evening was dedicated to internationalism, so first the anarchist collective introduced itself and shared its perspective on internationalism, followed by a discussion of Abdullah Öcalan’s philosophy and the proposal for communal internationalism and democratic socialism. The event was well-attended, and many new thoughts and ideas were raised, along with excitement for a shared internationalist perspective and joint actions in the future.
