This is not “Occupy,” This is not a continuation of the “Arab Spring.” Any assertion to the contrary is a disservice to people engaged in struggling at the moment. It is important to note that the people of Turkey, representing all sects– whether Anti Capitalist/ Revolutionary Muslims, Kurds or the Secular Left, from old generations to the very young– all are out in the streets together struggling in their own ways. With reports coming in of various other factions set to join the demonstrations, this could be a moment where not only East and West can meet, but where geographies and histories intertwine in struggle to create something entirely different: a culture of resistance that the past few years of global revolts has yet to manifest.
