Unbelievable!!! I agree and disagree with DHKC comrades on a lot of issues about
fascism in Turkey just as I disagree with other people on other issues. This place
is a forum for substantiating our criticisms on rational grounds, rather than
insulting each other with sexist expressions such as "fuck your mother" or whatever
the term implies below.Why are *women* targeted here??? Do you think we are bunch
of idiots? I am willing to forget to have read this *sexist spam* on this list, if
the poster owes an apology immediately!
Thanks for the translation, Henry! Hope I misunderstood it.
Marxist-feminists won't allow bourgeois male chauvinist expressions divide the
comrades!!
