      > Anything Cypher, punk or cypherpunk inside that you can point out? Why would you assume they read it when they haven't even answered that first question yet?

      While I don't claim to follow the whole thing, it does have a section titled "Liberating democratic civilization from the State", which certainly smells cypherpunky.

    This is a work written by the terrorist organization leader after incarcerated on 1999. While this carefully selected piece doesn't, the larger work of five volumes named "Manifesto of the Democratic Civilization" goes into the manifestation of his terrorist movement.

      Very Kaczyynski like - the unabomber manifesto, in isolation, seems to be insightful and have a coherent grasp of reality and the implications of a deeply technological society, but in context of the author, is very dark and twisted; it picks and chooses the arguments so as to make the terrible conclusion all but inevitable.

  They call themselves "PKK Terrorist Organization"?
  • slybot 3mo ago
    They do call themselves, "Partiya Karkerên Kurdistanê" (PKK) which literally means Kurdish Workers Party. It doesn't mean whether they call themselves terrorist or not; USA, UK, EU, NATO and many others call that way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistan_Workers%27_Party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistan_Workers%27_Party
