Statement for the remembrance ceremony to Şehid Tekoşer in Italy

Greetings from Anarchist Struggle, a collective which Orso fought and lived alongside. They are based in Rojava and focus on working within the concept of people’s self-defense in critical solidarity with the revolution in Rojava.

Dear friends, family, and beloved ones of Lorenzo, Orso, or Tekoşer as he was known to us…

Big talk with Tekoşîna Anarşîst (I and II)

Part I: Rojava complexity

Originally published in Hevale on winter 2019

Anarchist Struggle (Kurdish: Tekoşîna Anarşîst) is the organized structure of libertarian revolutionaries who actively participate in ongoing revolution in Rojava. We took a chance to make an interview with the comrades. In first part of our conversations we discussed relations of A.S. with Marxist-Leninist organizations and contradictions in Rojava social development from Anarchist perspective. We didn’t try to avoid complicated questions and uncomfortable topics and received very meaningful answers from Tekoşîna Anarşîst participants. We hope that this sincere dialogue will be important for libertarian readers worldwide. Continue reading Big talk with Tekoşîna Anarşîst (I and II)

Last letter of şehid Tekoşer

Ciao.

If you are reading this message, then it means that I am no longer of this world. Don’t be too sad, though, I’m OK with it; I don’t have any regrets and I died doing what I thought was right, defending the weak and staying true to my ideals of justice, equality, and freedom.

So in spite of my premature departure, my life has been a success, and I’m almost certain that I went with a smile on my face. I couldn’t have asked for more.

I wish all of you all the best in the world and I hope that one day, you too will decide to give your life for others (if you haven’t already) because that is the only way to change the world.

Only by combatting the individualism and egoism in each of us can we make a difference. These are difficult times, I know, but don’t give in to despair, don’t ever abandon hope, never! Not even for a second.

Even when all seems lost, when the evils that plague the earth and humanity seem insurmountable, you must find strength, you must inspire strength in your comrades.

It is in the darkest moments that we have greatest need of your light.

And remember always that “every storm begins with a single raindrop.” You must be that raindrop.

I love you all, I hope you will treasure these words for time to come.

Serkeftin!

 

Orso,

Tekoşer,

Lorenzo.
