Claire Goforth (18 October 2019). "The latest front in Turkey's digital war against the Kurds? Google reviews". The Daily Dot. Retrieved 31 October 2019. Elsewhere, on Wikipedia, people sympathetic to Turkey have edited PKK's page several times in recent days, using unreliable sources or misstating facts to label it a terrorist group. (Several nations, including Turkey and the U.S., have designated it as such; however, many nations, as well as the U.N. and NATO, have not.)

Libertarian socialism is already listed. And when you click on Communalism, it just takes you to the paragraph where it talks about Libertarian municipalism and Libertarian Socialism. Same thing, different words. It's repetitive. 67.71.58.194 (talk) 19:57, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Would just like to point out that the grey wolves which is on the opposite end of the political spectrum is described as a terrorist organisation within the first paragraph despite not being recognised as so outside of Kazakhstan whereas there is no mention of this within the first paragraph of this page despite being designated as a terrorist organisation by the entire western world 2A04:4A43:525F:D1D0:C0A3:F03F:6DBF:3405 (talk) 10:01, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"however, the labeling of the PKK as a terrorist organization is controversial to some analysts and organizations, who believe that the PKK no longer engages in organized terrorist activities or systemically targets civilians."
Should this be removed since they just conducted a terrorist attack?
oppose:recent events have (probably) not changed the existence of this perception of the organization. Especially considering the building was a government facility, so people can argue that it did not target civilians and therefore is not terrorism (please consider: what matters is not the validity of this view, but its existence, as that is what the article is making note of).
The EU, which has considered the PKK a terrorist organisation for over two decades; and NATO, which Turkey is a member of? Them being enemies of the PKK is "an extremely far fetch" to you? Yue🌙06:54, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, since the PKK operates freely in the EU and even seeks support from European governments. PKK doesn't target the European Union, if it did, you would see results of that. I'm sorry to say, but the European terrorist classification are merely leftover crumbs from PKK's early period, and has nothing to do with PKK's opinion of them. 87.3.139.54 (talk) 13:21, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
He has a point, many European Union countries house PKK affiliates knowingly and willingly. Sweden is known to have a pseudo-alliance with the PKK; one of the reasons Turkey was so harsh on them during their NATO membership request. It is pretty far fetched to make that conclusion just because of that one reason. As far as I know, the PKK has never declared the EU as its enemy. Krqftan (talk) 17:03, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
