CHANGE
THE WORLD, SAVE THE PLANET!
Yes, to save our planet from utter ruin (terracide) by the current capitalist industrialization processes
and social systems, it is essential to change the world i.e. the modes of
production, distribution and governance presently oppressing the world people. On
this depends even the survival of our Mother Earth – the only planet in the
universe known to generate and support any bio-species. As in case of all
progressive movements, which till date have recorded significant successes in
achieving basic human rights and civil liberties for the people in general, it
is the working classes of the world who have to stand and fight in the
forefront of the struggle for such a crucial change. As Marx and Engels
declared long back, working classes cannot liberate themselves except by
liberating the whole society from the trammels of the suffocating capitalist
order and ultimately obliterating their own existence for the emergence of a
classless society of cooperating individuals. The present trend of hazardous
industrialization and greedy profiteering processes have brought ruin to the
ecosystems in the world and given rise to the dangerous climate change phenomena
threatening the very existence of the life systems. In this background,
everywhere among the most progressive sections, the concept of eco-socialism is
gaining ground. It sees the ultimate welfare of the humankind in harmonious
living with all other bio-species and on the destruction of the inhumanly
greedy capitalist globalization processes by fully protecting the rights of the
Mother Earth and of all humans as dignified individuals. The importance of such
an initiative and struggle by the people is once again underscored by the recent
Occupy-Gezi protests in Taksim Square, Istanbul which started as righteous
protests by a few individuals against the razing of the Gezi Park but have now
snowballed into an immense mass movement encompassing lakhs of people from not
only the working classes but several other sections of the society, fighting
for the protection of their environmental wellbeing as also for the destruction
of the oppressive capitalist systems. We wish every success to the Turkish
people as also the people of the world in this and such other seminal struggles
