Or were you from the AKP?<\/p>\n<p>If such an accusation were made against you, would you not find it unfair and hurtful?<\/p>\n<p>So why do you try to explain every political disagreement, every mistake or every different attitude as \u201cserving the AKP\u201d or \u201cbeing from the AKP\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Wouldn't it be fairer to stick the needle in yourself and the stick in others?<\/p>\n<p>Just as we cannot call you a \u201ctraitor\u201d or an \u201cAKP supporter\u201d based on this concrete example, we should not label everyone with whom we have political differences.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps we should first sweep our own doorsteps and honestly face the consequences of the choices we have made in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Leftism is based on morality, virtue, labor and political honesty. These values cannot be sacrificed to day-to-day calculations, organizational rivalries or narrow group interests. It is precisely the commitment to these principles that makes a leftist a leftist. Without these principles, all that remains are empty slogans and dry words.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you have a glass house, don't throw stones at your neighbor's window.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And then there is this:<\/p>\n<p>It is quite interesting to me that those who had a share in the disintegration of the Alliance for Labor and Freedom are now directing the harshest accusations against us, and even leading these attacks, side by side with the circles they opposed yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Metin Karatas<\/p>\n<p>(No need for a recipe).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sevgili baz\u0131 solcu eski dostlar\u0131m\u0131za, Bizi AKP\u2019li olmakla ve AKP\u2019ye hizmet etmekle su\u00e7layan eski dostlar\u0131m\u0131za bir soru sormak isteriz: 2023 se\u00e7imlerinde \u201cayr\u0131 girece\u011fiz\u201d diyerek Emek ve \u00d6zg\u00fcrl\u00fck \u0130ttifak\u0131\u2019n\u0131n ortak hareket etme iradesinden vazge\u00e7meseydiniz, AKP-MHP\u2019nin ba\u015f\u0131n\u0131 \u00e7ekti\u011fi Cumhur \u0130ttifak\u0131 ka\u00e7 milletvekili kaybedecekti?
