Leftists have hold their poetry at Socialist-Realism. Even my father knows that, and he is one of the most faithful leftists to their case, I ever know. Such that, I wanted to say that he is the last person to leave the case, but I cannot even say this.
My point is, I believe that the word "socialist" must be removed from the dictionaries, first! Because a socialist must go to society and try to convince people that they have the force. But socialists, nowadays, have no effectiveness. They have no difference from any dentist, psychiatrist nor scientist. They go and run demonstrations, sit down on the grass in Universities. I also see some liberal leftists who support conservationist-democrats' movement. (These consevationist people go Europe and vote for socialist parties, they come back to Turkey and vote for Nationalists. ) But I want people who hate/oppose/resist the society, who are like Marx, like Rosa Luxemburg, like Jean Paul Sartre and like me. If you call both those bunch of douchebags and people who are like us socialist, I am ashamed, loathed and gone nuts.
My second point is, there can be no such thing as socialist-poet. If you are one of the normal people, you cannot write poems. (If I become a poet someday, I mean a "poet", then remind me.
Whatever, today I was trying to withdraw some money from an ATM, seventh day of the month, which means scholarships were deposited, so there was a gorgeous queue. The busiest ATM does belong to Ziraat Bank in Campus, but for some 'fair' reason (?), Vakıf Bank and Halk Bank each have two, Garanti Bank have 3 ATMs, but Ziraat Bank have only one. I asked the people in the queue "Why are waiting, are you gone nuts, driven crazy?", because it was not a reasonabe queue on there. They responded me like "have time, no money", I appreciated that.
I was waiting in the queue, anyways, a woman, who is, strongly probable, a student, is fattish, and is in her twenties... She was talking to herself. Been a while, I considered that she was talking on phone. And I agreed with myself.
I noticed when she lifted her phone, that it was written 27 mins on screen. I considered that she was a maniac. I whispered to the man near me and said "Those maniac young people! Tsk!". But really, she was waiting for five minutes sometimes, without speaking. And I agreed with a Turkish philosophy which says "If you find someting for free, just exploit it". (Actually I'm not sure if it is a Turkish philosophy but it is really popular these days, so...) Whatever, the woman drew her money and went to hell! Bloody woman was was still talking to the phone.
My last point is, the most meaningful behavior that society does is educating the children. At this point I do not agree with Pink Floyd. Here's why... Three children with their bicycles I saw in the "underpass" today. Two of them were outside and watching the third one who stands with bicycle near the stairs to down. The back two were provoking the third one to ride downstairs with by saying that otherwise they will companion him no more. I did not say anything and watched and saw that the child cycled down, bumped to the wall*, and feinted. We called the ambulance, anyway, and they took the child away.** The other two just ran away when the third is feinted. Now I will define a truth that everybody knows but do not declare each other: The children are not innocent. They are not worth to use "innocence of a child" on anyone. (Except the novel "Heart", I like that novel, Enrico is cool.
*Reference, Pink Floyd, The Wall, "We do not need no education".
**Actually I have never seen a thing after provoking. But this doesn't mean it was not possible. And I know I cannot take a leaf out of Alper Kamu's book, literally.
