Killing Your Comrade

Many people were murdered by their own comrades on the grounds that they violated party discipline, became spies, and betrayed the organization; Many of them were later found to be innocent and their reputations were restored. There are many examples of this in both the world and Turkish left history. In Killing His Comrade, Aytekin Yilmaz deals with the executions of comrades, the examples of which are known in the world, but the examples in Turkey are condemned to silence; It reveals the examples that took place in prisons during the 1991-2000 period, with personal testimonies. The book you are reading asks us not to forget the debt we all owe to their bloodshed, tears and suffering. But in addition to this responsibility towards our past, we also have obligations towards the future. The "lessons" we have distilled from the deep disappointments and sufferings of the children who became the first victims of the "revolutions" that were fought for with great hopes on wrong grounds, and the "romantic" revolutionaries who shared the same fate in prisons within prisons, humanity's oldest, most deep-rooted search and hope, To pass on the "revolution" to the generations that will embrace it. Thus, despite our still unhealed wounds, at least we can find solace in the idea that they will not suffer the same.
