not very. but they’re alright. we also have a workers party and they have delegates in the parliament (i guess 3), where tkp doesn’t.
historically they have been mostly on the right side of things. they were really influential in the late 70s. but after the '80 coup, a huge number communists were just slaughtered or tortured for years on end. now we’re left with practically a two party system: religious fascism or nationalist fascism.
there’s a kurdish party and they’re mostly left leaning, and a good portion is socialist, but the widespread racism has labeled them as terrorists, naturally.
Well, There’s many but not in English. I’m sharing news on Turkiye communist community you can find a video that explains 70s civil war in Turkiye (from a leftist perspective)
Not at all. They’re just radical liberals that celebrate bourgeoisie revolution and revolutionaries. TKP is more like social democrat party than a communist one.
how influential is TKP in there?

TKP is a oxymoron party and founded in 2001. Modern TKP has nothing to do with the late 70s, 80s.
that’s true. what i meant was the communist movement was strong in the 70s, not a specific party. but you’re absolutely correct.
Do you have any readings you’d please recommend on the nationalist movements in Turkey, especially, or communist movements?

Oh, that’d be interesting! I looked through your profile but couldn’t find it. Can you please share the link? Thank you!
Just really interested in understanding the pan-Turkish nationalist movement.
