Sujet quelque peu rebattu quand on est attentif à la prose du PCF depuis bien des années mais sujet dont l’urgence ne cesse de croître, à mesure que grandit le péril et la conscience de celui-ci. De ce point de vue, on a peu commenté ce sondage (BVA) de juin 2020 qui appelait à répondre à cette question très claire : « Le système économique capitaliste est-il compatible avec la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique ? ». Les réponses sont édifiantes : 7 % se disent « tout à fait d’accord » et 29 % « plutôt d’accord ». Vous avez bien lu : je vous laisse additionner et cal- culer le maigre butin obtenu par ces montagnes de pub’ et ces innombrables injections de comm’ visant à faire accroire qu’un « capitalisme vert » serait possible. Je vous laisse également déduire le poids si majoritaire de ceux qui ont mesuré la radicale incompatibi- lité entre capitalisme et réponse au défi écologique. Précisons tout de même, pour enfon- cer le clou et montrer que l’affaire n’est pas tiède, que c’est près du quart des sondés qui se disent carrément « pas du tout d’accord ». « La conscience du péril écologique et celle de l’inanité de tout prétendu « capitalisme vert » est à un niveau extrêmement élevé dans notre pays. » Le sondage est également instructif quant à l’importance accordée à cet enjeu au sein de notre peuple. Une autre étude, d’août celle-ci, le confirme encore : certes, les cadres se disent davantage préoccupés que les ouvriers et les employés mais la différence n’est pas si grande qu’on pourrait le penser. Les plus forts écarts semblent surtout générationnels et on observe un vrai gradient allant des plus âgés vers les plus jeunes, laissant penser que le phénomène n’est pas sur le point de s’atténuer... En un mot, la conscience du péril écologique et celle de l’inanité de tout prétendu « capitalisme vert » est à un niveau extrê- mement élevé dans notre pays. C’est plus qu’un caillou dans la chaussure du capital et on serait tenté d’ajouter, sans volonté polémique, que c’est un vrai problème pour certains écologistes peu enclins à affronter vraiment cet implacable mode de production. 44 NOVEMBRE/DÉCEMBRE 2020 • Cause H commune • 3 H ÉDITORIAL H 44C’est assurément une très grande question pour les communistes, tant pour ce qui est du travail qu’ils ont à mener sur ces enjeux – mais, quoi qu’on en dise ou sache, ils peuvent s’appuyer sur des décennies de production théorique et d’expériences politiques – que pour celui qu’ils ont à déployer en ce qui concerne la perception et la connaissance dans le pays de leurs positions, propositions et, plus fondamentalement, de ce qu’on peut en- tendre aujourd’hui par « communisme ». Quelles belles, urgentes et grandes tâches ! Cependant, alors que je travaillais à écrire ces lignes, un professeur d’histoire-géographie se faisait décapiter. Comment, dès lors, ne pas aborder, ici, ce drame qui, lui aussi, inter- roge si profondément la perspective communiste ? « Avec les limites qui sont les leurs, les mots que La Revue du projet écrivait en 2015 n’ont, hélas, pas atteint la péremption qu’on aurait souhaité, nous les republions donc, pour mémoire. » On hésite pourtant à reprendre la plume. Tant d’analyses judicieuses ont été proposées de- puis que les frères Kouachi ont ouvert le feu. Tant de diagnostics et de propositions avancés. Tant de promesses et de solennelles déclarations prononcées. Mais qu’a-t-il été fait depuis lors ? Notre douleur aujourd’hui n’en est que plus vive et plus résolue notre détermination. Avec les limites qui sont les leurs, les mots que La Revue du projet écrivait en 2015 n’ont, hélas, pas atteint la péremption qu’on aurait souhaité, nous les republions donc, pour mé- moire, pour hommage aux morts d’hier et d’aujourd’hui, pour réflexion, pour la liberté. Ajoutons : pour le communisme. l Guillaume Roubaud-Quashie, directeur de Cause commune. Jack Ralite à la Comédie française Christian Gonon, sociétaire de la Comédie française, proposait en octobre une remarqua- ble lecture de textes de Jack Ralite. Il conclut le spectacle par une lettre lue par toute la troupe de la Comédie française. Des mots à méditer et répercuter. Extraits :« On nous répond, c’est la crise. La crise ne rend pas la culture moins nécessaire, elle la rend au contraire plus indispensable. La culture n’est pas un luxe, dont en période de disette il faudrait se débarrasser, la culture c’est l’avenir, le redressement, l’instrument de l’éman- cipation. C’est aussi le meilleur antidote à tous les racismes, antisémitismes, commu- nautarismes et autres pensées régressives sur l’homme. Mais la politique actuelle est marquée par l’idée de “donner au capital humain un traitement économique”. Il y a une exacerbation d’une allégeance dévorante à l’argent. Elle chiffre obsessionnellement, compte autoritairement, alors que les artistes et écrivains déchiffrent et content. Ne to- lérons plus que l’esprit des affaires l’emporte sur les affaires de l’esprit. » 4 • Cause H commune • NOVEMBRE/DÉCEMBRE 2020 H ÉDITORIAL H Après les massacres Il y eut – et il demeure – la nécessité d’honorer les assassinés.

  • Here All Continue to Defend Human Rights in Turkey, Despite the Increasing Difficulty and Mounting Pressure Posed by the Government
    Imagine being attacked by the police for dancing in the streets for women’s rights or peacefully marching for LGBTI+ rights. Imagine being arrested for tweeting disapproval of your government; protesting to save a park; signing a peace petition. Imagine your professor being fired, or your doctor being arrested. These are all examples from Turkey’s reality. This series highlights stories of twenty individuals who have chosen to stand up for human rights. The individuals presented here all continue to defend human rights in Turkey, despite the increasing difficulty and mounting pressure posed by the government. Learn more about the everyday people taking everyday actions in Turkey to stand up for human rights. Read DEFENDING HUMAN RIGHTS IN TURKEY their stories, each one a story that needs to be heard. STORIES THAT NEED TO BE HEARD Defending Human Rights in Turkey Not long ago, Turkey was considered a success story of democratic transformation. Today human rights in Turkey are at risk. Turkey displays an increasingly restrictive environment with a distorted system of checks and balances, where the rule of law is undermined. Thousands of journalists, academics, lawyers, and government critics have been sacked, imprisoned, and charged with terror-related or libel crimes. Defending human rights doesn’t have to be a profession; it comes from a belief that all people have the right to live in peace and be treated equally. From doctors to teachers, from plumbers to journalists, everyone can defend human rights. Sustained attention and a proactive strategy by the European Union and its Member States, and the international community as a whole are needed to defend the space in which human rights defenders can continue their peaceful human rights work without risk of reprisals and unfounded litigation for their work.

  • Dr Tuna Altınel, Cağlayan, 2019-02-28 (Translated From
    Dr Tuna Altınel, Cağlayan, 2019-02-28 (translated from https://bianet.org/1/19/205946-tuna-altinel-in-beyani) Your Honors1, Because I signed the Peace Petition dated 11 January 20162, which is openly critical of the war policies followed by the Republic of Turkey and the way they are implemented, calling for the abandonment of this misguided path and a return to the table for peace negotiations, I am accused of “making propaganda for a terrorist organization.” I would like to make a statement of a few words to counter this charge. In the first part of my statement, I will explain briefly what this signature means to me. I was born in 1966. I am not many days into my 54th year. In September 1980, I was in the 15th year of my life. In August 1984, the 19th. I did not choose these dates at random3. During the 50-odd years of my life, Turkey has been ruled by governments that, faced with the issues that engulf and destabilize society, and plunge it into a spiral of violence, responded with violent solutions, triggering further violence. In the 1990s, a “low intensity” war was launched against the social4 and political problems that one had attempted to “stamp out” in the 1980s by reducing them to the word “terror.” Even though I spent the ’90s outside of Turkey, I felt deeply the violence invading society, and the crimes committed, some of whose perpetrators have come to light under the present political regime. 1The Academics for Peace trials take place in courts known as Aggravated Felony Courts or Central Criminal Courts (Interpol)—Turkish acronym acm—dealing with crimes punishable by 5 years or more.

Thus, the number of municipalities with trustees assigned after the local elections on March 31st reached 24. 14 dismissed co-mayors were arrested. Please​ click here ​for details. ● After the operations against its municipalities, HDP called for “early elections”, deciding to “continue the fight on democratic and legitimate platforms.” ● 45 new summaries were sent to the Parliament with the demand to revoke the Parliamentary immunities of 9 HDP MPs and HDP Co-Chair Sezai Temelli. ● The ruling party presented a 95-article new law draft to the Parliament due to “public safety” reasons. The regulation predicts changes in conditions of “acceptance” and “deportation” of refugees, increasing authorities of Governorates to “decline entrance in the country.” On the other hand, the draft predicts all associations to register with their identity to the government.

  • Definable Envelopes of Nilpotent Subgroups of Groups with Chain Conditions on Centralizers
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 00, Number 0, Pages 000{000 S 0002-9939(XX)0000-0 DEFINABLE ENVELOPES OF NILPOTENT SUBGROUPS OF GROUPS WITH CHAIN CONDITIONS ON CENTRALIZERS TUNA ALTINEL AND PAUL BAGINSKI (Communicated by Julia Knight) Abstract. An MC group is a group in which all chains of centralizers have ¯nite length. In this article, we show that every nilpotent subgroup of an MC group is contained in a de¯nable subgroup which is nilpotent of the same nilpo- tence class. De¯nitions are uniform when the lengths of chains are bounded. 1. Introduction Chain conditions have played a central role in modern in¯nite group theory and one of the most natural chain conditions is the one on centralizers. A group is said to be MC if all chains of centralizers of arbitrary subsets are ¯nite. If there is a uniform bound d on the lengths of such chains, then G has ¯nite centralizer dimension (fcd) and the least such bound d is known as the c-dimension of G. The MC property has been studied by group theorists since many natural classes of groups possess this property. See [3] for a classic paper on the properties of MC groups. Many groups possess the stronger property of fcd, including abelian groups, free groups, linear groups, and torsion-free hyperbolic groups. Khukhro's article on the solvability properties of torsion fcd groups [8] compiles a lengthy list of groups with fcd. Khukhro's article, as well as several other foundational papers (see, for example, [2, 4, 8, 9, 16]), have demonstrated that MC groups and groups with fcd are fairly well-behaved, for example by having Engel conditions closely linked to nilpotence.

  • Turkey Free Expression Trial Monitoring Report November 2019
    Civil Society Support Programme - II Monitoring Judicial Practices in Turkey and Strengthening EU Human Rights Mechanisms TURKEY FREE EXPRESSION TRIAL MONITORING REPORT NOVEMBER 2019 Report by the International Press Institute (IPI) based on data collected by the Media and Law Studies Association (MLSA) @globalfreemedia Introduction There continues to be grave concern over the manner in which the Turkish judicial system handles freedom of expression cases, especially those involving journalists. As part of the country’s ongoing crackdown on the media, scores of journalists have faced prosecution based primarily on terrorism-related charges. At the time of the publishing of this report (December 18, 2019), 116 journalists are behind bars, either serving a sentence or in pre-trial detention1. To analyse the level of protection of the fundamental rights of journalists and others exercising their right to freedom of expression by Turkish courts, the International Press Institute (IPI) and the Media and Law Studies Association (MLSA) are carrying out a comprehensive trial monitoring programme across Turkey. The trial monitoring programme began with a pilot programme from June to December 2018 and a first report published in January 2019 covering 90 court hearings involving 71 separate trials found that Turkish courts systematically ignore domestic and international standards set for securing the right to a fair trial. Since April 2019 the programme has been supported by the EU’s Civil Society Support Programme II The second and third reports2 published in July and September covering court hearings from February 20 until July 22, 2019 confirmed the initial findings that Turkey has continued to criminally persecute journalists on the basis of terrorism-related charges for which journalistic work is presented as evidence and often subjecting journalists to lengthy pre-trial detention.

  • Statement of Continued Concern for Turkish Mathematicians AMS Committee on Human Rights of Mathematicians
    Committee on Human Rights of Mathematicians www.ams.org Statement of Continued Concern for Turkish Mathematicians AMS Committee on Human Rights of Mathematicians The American Mathematical Society’s Committee on Human Rights of Mathematicians has recently voiced objections to the political prosecution of the Turkish mathematicians Betul Tanbay and Ayse Berkman, who are among the thousands of signatories of the petition protesting military action taken by the Turkish military against Kurdish provinces. Signatories of this petition, including mathematicians and other scholars, have been threatened with the loss of the right to travel and their positions. Recent news indicates that the situation in Turkey is worsening. • On February 21, 2019, 28 academics were sentenced to a total of nearly 60 years in prison for having signed the petition “Not in our Name.” In particular, the mathematician Öznur Ya ar Diner was given the especially harsh sentence of 27 months based on her not “showing remorse.” ş • On March 5, 2019, Sefa Feza Arslan, a mathematician at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University in Istanbul who also signed this petition, had his second hearing at the Heavy Penal Court. His defense can be read here. • On March 15, 2016, Kıvanç Ersoy, along with three others who signed and read aloud the petition, was arrested and imprisoned for 40 days.
