So a bunch of them are part of Halkların Birleşik Devrim Hareketi (HBDH), an alliance announced in 2016:

Representatives of 10 revolutionary organisations attended a joint press meeting in guerrilla zones to announce their alliance with the purpose of stepping up the revolution in all areas including armed struggle against the “collaborative fascist AKP and TC (Turkish Republic) system of sovereignty”.

Speaking here before the press release, PKK Executive Committee Member Duran Kalkan listed the names of the following revolutionary organisations from Turkey and Kurdistan that got united to defeat fascism and become a glimmer of hope for peoples; TKP/ML, PKK, THKP-C/MLSPB, MKP, TKEP-LENİNİST, TİKB, DKP, DEVRÎMCÎ KARARGAH and MLKP.

Judging by the names it's mostly marxists, but I don't know enough about each group to be sure of that.

We are hoping for very tangible things. It’s not like in UK where people are voting between two parties that represent the same system. The YSP is a parliamentary manifestation of a wider freedom movement that is very present in Kurdish society. There would be tangible impacts of Erdogan being removed from power, like the release of prisoners. Many organisers could be released, many hope to return from exile.

The workers say that the airport has been turned into a “slave camp,” and that they are forced to work under the eye of police patrols. Those who gather in groups to talk are arrested.

Damn. Straight up modern labor camps, always fun, aren't they?
