Members of the communes and councils in the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood of Aleppo continue to read the second chapter of the People's Defense Pleading of Leader Abdullah Ocalan, submitted to the European Court of Human Rights, taking care to translate what they read correctly.

In this pleading, Leader Abdullah Ocalan explains the stages of human change during the natural society with the formation of classes and the advocacy of nationalism, sexism and industrialism during the emergence of capitalism, in addition to the role of the Kurdish issue in history and how they escaped from what was imposed on their reality (by taking the path of resistance) and his assessments of the Kurdistan Workers' Party.

About a month and a half ago, the members of the communes and councils began reading the People's Defense Pleading, either in the Martyr Goli Selmo Council or in the Martyr Bakur Commune in the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood of Aleppo. 

30 members join the reading circle, which is held every Wednesday and Thursday, and the reading period lasts about an hour and a half. The same circle also finished reading the fifth volume entitled "Manifesto of Democratic Civilization: Sociology of Freedom" by Leader Abdullah Ocalan.

Different ideas

One of the participants in the reading circle, Sadika Ibo, indicates that she joined about a month and a half ago, and explained that they reached the second chapter of the popular defense argument, where it talks about several different ideas centered around the ecological democratic society and the people's escape from chaos and other ideas.

The friend reached conclusions that she realized how the rights of individuals were protected during the natural society, where justice, equality and democracy prevailed; however, the arrival of capitalism to power and the formation of classes turned society upside down, and marginalized the pioneering role of women in ensuring the continuity and progress of societies.

Analyzing history introduces you to yourself

A friend spoke about the denial and stripping of women, their values, principles, and true being, as explained by the leader in his defense, saying that the capitalist system commodified women after they were goddesses and stripped them of their rights.

Regarding the changes that occurred in her personality, Sadika says: “There is a big difference between my personality before and after reading the defense, even though I am still at the beginning of the defense; but my view of many concepts has changed, through the historical return to the role of women in all fields. The defense brings you back to your truth and past and introduces you to yourself and your being.”

Training changes the personality for the better

While Nawal Mohammed explains the reason for choosing to read the People’s Defense Pleading, she says: “Based on the request of the participants who insisted on reading this pleading with the aim of deepening their knowledge of the ideas of Leader Abdullah Ocalan, organizing themselves and enriching their thinking with awareness.”

Nawal adds: “There are good discussions among the participants in addition to the opinions and analyses about what we read, as some readers make a decision to change themselves for the better.”

'Let's live up to his expectations'

Because Leader Abdullah Ocalan says in his book How to Live, "Practically, trusting women is better than trusting men. In our history, men have been more evasive than women, and women's sacrifices are greater than men's." Based on this principle, Nawal says, Leader Abdullah Ocalan always supports women in his arguments and books.

She confirms that: "He hardly finishes any work without mentioning the role of women and the necessity of their regaining their rights, whether by force or in another way. He also has great confidence and faith in our strength, so we must be worthy of his expectations of us."
