<br><br>Tayyip Erdogan have chosen dictatorial line, under increasing attacks<br>
coming from international (Islamic version of Moon) Gulen cult /<br>
Movement, AKP (un)government finally decided to shut itself at the<br>
head by shutting down Twitter, this morning after midnight, adding<br>
Turkey in the short list of dictatorial capitalist regimes. Gulen<br>
Movement has been instrumental for the Western imperialism, linked to<br>
anti-communist underground networks organised by Gladio in 70s and the<br>
80s. The cult got upgraded in the 90s in order to impose neoliberal<br>
soft-Islamic regimes surrounding Russia, India and China belt, with<br>
instalment of controlled regimes, most notable example has been<br>
Malaysia. Gulen cult formed a coalition with reformist Milli Gorus<br>
members, those who had ties to Muslim Brothers active in Arab<br>
countries. In Turkey, this coalition supported by left-right liberals<br>
during the first half of the 2000s in order brake down the ancient<br>
regime or old-boys elite network controlled by another coalition or<br>
historical block composed of military-bureaucratic elite and<br>
capitalist hierarchy under the leadership of the Koc family. 2007-2008<br>
crisis, made a demarcating effect on these kind of coalitions putting<br>
global geopolitics in stress. In a many national context, located in<br>
the new imperial frontiers like North Africa, inner Asia, Asia-Pacific<br>
and Latin America sides involved in similar coalitions had to turn and<br>
fight each other using the parts of state apparatus as it has happened<br>
in Turkey; bringing state vs. state, deep state fighting against<br>
parallel and surface-real (e)states.<br>
<br>
The scene has globally and increasingly represented a Cold war 2.0<br>
mess, thought with one crucial difference. Capitalistic tools like<br>
Facebook and Twitter, although themselves are taking part in this new<br>
cold war, they have provided a much wider public and open space in<br>
which the dark side and the dirty clothes of all kinds of elite<br>
fractions composing the ruling classes, 1%, including Facebook,<br>
Twitter and Google owners themselves. Social opposition of any type<br>
were provided with tools globally to train themselves in online<br>
organising, developing creative distributed revolts that send feed<br>
backs contributing in learning process towards building of a global<br>
manoeuvre war against the rulers of the global capitalism.<br>
<br>
So this last open counter offence coming from Erdogan, is not<br>
challenging its local rivals for political power, it is clearly a<br>
transnational class act being part of a global chess game played<br>
harsher on the imperial frontiers. It might either add to the tensions<br>
increasing between Russia and China and the West pushing towards<br>
corrective inter elite war, or spark the public launch of the<br>
worldwide class war between the rulers and the ruled. Comparing the<br>
compact fuse state of the %1 -capitalists and rulers ready to eat each<br>
other, and diffused and distributed state of %99 -the ruled and<br>
oppressed multitude sectors all seek channels and protocols to build a<br>
genuine and worldwide solidarity, it gets difficult to hope for the<br>
latter.<br>
