Yet this revolution does not include turning Turkey into a communist state, but carving out a Kurdish state in Turkey from what they believe is rightfully there's. There is no "Turk" in this equation. It is a Kurdish struggle. That area of Turkey lacks the substantial funds the rest of Turkey enjoys, even though the gap of the distribution of wealth is closing. Its no wonder, by adding the "communist element", a command economy gives the PKK extra support.
The PKK was not simply a independence movement it was a violent communist terrorist movement, it was the communist ideology of violent revolution and attacks on civilians seen as class enemies which gave them their terrorist stripe. The PKK was not only after illegitimate ends (setting up a totalitarian communist state through violent revolution) but it used and continues to use illegetimate means to obtain those ends.
