Kemalism

Kemalism, also called Ataturkism, is a nationalist, moderately authoritarian, secular and culturally progressive ideology that occupies a moderate and right position in the authoritarian left quadrant, and is the ideology of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. However, although Atatürk wanted an interpretation of Kemalism in his own time, he did not write a doctrine for this ideology. Modern day Kemalism has three main factions: Center-left (social-democratic), conservative and liberal Kemalism. All three factions belongs an electoral alliance called the ‘Nation Alliance’ nowadays to challenge  Erdogan’s government. The support of historical variants such as Fascist Kemalism and Socialist Kemalism has now mostly diminished.

One day, in a dialogue with Atatürk, Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu said:

Atatürk replied:

In other words, Atatürk believed that the doctrines were fixed and lagged behind the times. For this reason, Atatürk created a body of ideas, but organized it with certain practical principles. He did not write detailed doctrinal texts. But he also allowed it to be written. For this reason, there were many variants of Kemalism (even when Atatürk was alive). Later, these principles were added to the 1924 Constitution as the main principles of the state. Kemalism has had a strong cult of personality in Turkey since its foundation.

The six arrows of Kemalism represent Republicanism,  Populism,  Nationalism,  Laicism (exclusion of ecclesiastical control and influence),   and  Reformism.

History
Kemalism is the ideology of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and the founding ideology of the  Republic of Turkey. The ideology was designed to help modernize Turkey and separate it from its Ottoman predecessor, these reforms include democracy, secularism, state support of the sciences and free education.

The early roots of the ideology began during the early 19th-century Tanzimant reforms in the late years of the Ottoman Empire when the Empire was trying to stop its collapse, of course this merely delayed the inevitable. After the Young Ottoman movement ditched Ottoman Nationalism ( Ottomanism) to stop the rising ethnic nationalism within the Empire in favour of Turkish nationalism becoming the Young Turks (no, not the American news tabloid) which sought to establish many things the Young Ottomans wanted established like a democracy however unlike the Young Ottomans, the Young Turks were in favour of secularism. The Young Turks inspired Atatürk greatly with their advocacy of democracy, Turkish nationalism and secularism among other things. However, Ataturk was against their extreme ethnonationalism and ultranationalism, and condemned the Armenian genocide. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, Atatürk implemented these ideas as well as bringing about more economically left reforms to the nation which the nation had never experienced before.

Ataturk launched the Turkish War of Independence and single-handley defeated western and Greek imperialist's scheme to break up Turkey into pieces by the Treaty of Sevres with the financial support of Lenin and the new Soviet republic. He subsequently abolished the Caliphate and initiated a series of legal, social, cultural, and political reforms that lifted Turkey from the backward theocratic and feudalistic Ottoman Empire into a modernized, progressive, and secular republic. Ataturk also introduced free education and universal healthcare and improved the living conditions of the peasants and the standards of workers. Ataturk also implemented a program of Turkification, known as “Citizens, Speak Turkish,” which aimed at encouraging ethnic minorities to speak Turkish and assimilate into the Turkish culture. However, they were allowed to speak their own language and practice their own culture as well. According to a survey by the Center for American Progress, 86% of Turks have a favorable view of Ataturk, and 52% have a very favorable view of him. This includes 80% of Islamist AKP voters and 61% of Kurdish nationalist HDP voters.

Shortly after Turkey proclaimed as a republic, Ataturk endorsed the policy of peace at home, peace in the world, and restored its relationship with Britain and Greece. The New Turkish Republic amended all unequal tariff treaties that the Ottoman Empire had with foreign powers and forged a strong alliance with the USSR as both countries signed the friendship pact, the Treaty of Moscow in 1921 and a non-aggression pact in 1925. It also regained control of the Turkish Straits by 1936 with the Montreux Convention, which saw Turkey fully regaining its sovereignty from foreign imperialist powers. Kemalist Turkey also formed the non-aggression Saddabdad Pact with its neighbors, including Reza Shah’s Iran,  Mohammad Zahir Shah’s Afghanistan, and Iraq to promote regional peace and friendly cooperations. It also formed the Balkan Pact with Yugoslavia, Greece, and Romania to resist the imperialist expansionist ambitions of Fascist Italy and Tsarist Bulgaria.

Ataturk was also credited for his transformational change in Turkish agriculture and ecological development. The Kemalist government planned 4 million trees, modernized the Turkish agricultural mechanism, implemented flood controls, opened schools in rural areas with rural institutions such as agricultural banks, and implemented land reform that removed heavy taxes on peasants of the Ottoman era. He was described as the “Father of Turkish Agriculture.” Ataturk also massively boomed the Turkish economy with heavy industrial production increased by 150% and GDP capita rose from 800 USD to around 2000 USD by late 1930s, on par with Japan. It also quickly industrialized Turkey in a rapid time frame.

After Ataturk’s death, the new Turkish president Ismet Inonu adopted a more statist economy and enforced laicist policies by shutting down thousands of Mosques, as well as implementing a wealthy tax that targeted wealthy minorities such as Armenians, Jews, and Greeks. The economic failure of Inonu and the consequences of WW2 on Turkish trade ended the economic boom of the Ataturk era and caused a severe recession in the Turkish economy. Turkey stayed neutral in WW2 and strongly resisted the push of far-right figures like Nihal Atsiz and  Alparslan Turkes to declare war on the USSR to regain control of the Azerbaijan part of the Soviet Union. In the 1940s, the Turkish Straits Crisis happened as the Stalinist USSR attempted to imperialize Turkish maritime borders by forcing Turkey to accept a deal with the military threat. This attempt was, however, strongly resisted by Turkey with the support of the Truman Administration. This caused the two decades of alliance between Turkey and the USSR to fall apart, which saw Turkey’s eventual NATO admission in 1952, shortly after the end of the CHP One-party state and  Adnan Menderes’s Democrat Party came to power.

After the end of the single-party period of the CHP, the influence Kemalism began to decline even though Ataturk’s image remained universally respected in Turkish politics. Recently, under two decades of Islamist rule, there has been a revival of Kemalism under the rebranded Turkish opposition Nation Alliance.

Beliefs
Kemalism is defined by having six principles, which are notably represented in its symbol with the six arrows.

[[File: Republicanismpix.png]] Republicanism
Republicanism or in Turkish "cumhuriyetçilik" is the belief that civic power within society should be held within democratically elected representatives, instead of passed down through the generations like in a  monarchy of the Ottoman Empire. Though it also banned earlier opposition parties because of "saving the secular state"

The Kemalist republic is a unitary state favoring centralization.

[[File: Nation.png]] Nationalism
Nationalism or in Turkish "Milliyetçilik" in the Kemalist context refers to the belief in a single Turkish nation unified under a Rousseauian social contract. This form of Nationalism is very much Civic, believing that to be Turkish one must "Protect and promote the moral, spiritual, cultural and humanistic values of the Turkish Nation.". Kemalist Nationalism also favors a form of Souverainism, rejecting imperialism and foreign conquest, although it views the nation as inseparable not allowing for secessionism. Ataturk's nationalism also favors a policy called 'Turkification', which assimilates other ethnicities of Turkey to the Turkish culture, and this policy is Cultural Nationalist. However, contrary to regimes that practiced cultural genocides, Ataturk’s assimilation was based on state encouragement and persuasion rather than coercion, and minorities were allowed to keep their cultural, religious, and language practices at home.

[[File:Pop.png]] Populism
Populism or in Turkish "Halkçılık" is the belief that political power and sovereignty within society should be held by the Turkish people instead of the nobility.

However, the concept of "people" here is not in a left-wing or right-wing "populist" sense. It is ideologized by "solidarist corporatism" (or corporate solidarism) originating from the Third French Republic. Kemalist intellectuals significantly influenced by Émile Durkheim. Kemalism, against the class struggle and supports the cooperation of the professions. However, there were no corporations established in Kemalist Turkey. The Republican Peoples Party program is theoretically divided "people" into professions. The aim here is to create a united nation that does not discriminate against "class, race, religion and gender".

Because of this similarity, the Republican People's Party was invited by the Radical Republican Party to the International Understanding of Radical Parties and Similar Democratic Parties (Entente Internationale des Partis Radicaux et des Partis Démocratiques Similaires) in 1926.

Şükrü Kaya, one of Atatürk's ministers, stated the following in an official newspaper:

In the 1931 Republican People's Party (CHP) Program, it was written as follows:

In the program of the Republican People's Party of 1931, it is stated as follows:

Within the scope of this principle (Kemalist populism), "Spring Day" was celebrated as a national holiday instead of May 1, Labor Day since 1935. May 1 is a holiday. However, instead of a holiday representing the working class, it was declared a national holiday.

[[File:Statist.png]]
Statism or in Turkish "devletçilik" is the belief that the state should actively intervene within the economy and society to solve issues, this principle aligns Kemalist economic policy as leaning towards Social Authoritarianism, but the level of statism and economic interventionism varies between variants.

In the 1935 CHP Party Program, statism was explained as follows:

The economic side of the principle was expressed by Atatürk as "dirigisme" and "state socialism". It is a pragmatic principle. Because economic understandings change over time.

In the opening speech of Atatürk's CHP 4th Congress (May 9, 1935), he said:

On 1 November 1937, Atatürk said:

[[File:Laicism.png]] Laicism
Laicism, also called secularism and in Turkish "Laiklik" is the belief that religion should be separated from all forms of public life. What separates Kemalist laicism from how secularism is practiced in most western countries is the focus on not only separating the church (or rather mosque) from the state, but also from society in general, seeking to make religion a personal affair. This principle aligns Kemalist social policy as being culturally rather left-wing.

[[File:Reform.png]] Reformism
Reformism, also called Revolutionism and in Turkish "inkılâpçılık" is the belief that the Turkish Society and the Kemalist philosophy should seek to actively reinvent and modernize to fit with the modern times and not to cling on the oppressive institutions of the past. At the same time, this principle is directly related to progressivism. This principle aligns also aligns Kemalist social policy as being culturally rather left-leaning.

[[File:LibKemSmall.png]] Liberal Kemalism
The Free Republican Party (sometimes referred to as the Liberal Republican Party; in Turkish: Serbest Cumhuriyet Fırkası) was a political party founded by Fethi Okyar upon President Kemal Atatürk's request in the early years of the Turkish Republic.

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk requested that Okyar create it as an opposition party to confront the ruling Republican People's Party with the aim of establishing the tradition of multi-party democracy in Turkey.

In addition, this party defended the Liberal Kemalist thought in line with Atatürk's wishes.

However, the party was quickly hijacked by Islamic fundamentalists who saw it as an opportunity to reverse the reforms of Atatürk, particularly regarding secularism, and was personally dissolved in November 1930 by Okyar who himself was an ardent supporter of the reforms.

Most modern-day Turkish parties do not follow Ataturk's originally ideology, but instead follows this revisionary version of Kemalism that generally supports free-market economics and liberal democracy by combining Kemalism with liberalism.

[[File:SocKemal.png]] Socialist Kemalism
In line with Atatürk's request and permission, the communists on trial in 1927, published a new magazine. The name of the magazine was "Kadro. Atatürk also made a statement to this magazine. Şevket Süreyya Aydemir is the founder of this ideology. However, the publishers of the magazine made a socialist-Kemalist discourse, not being a Marxist due to their ideological orientation. Ultimately, the magazine's lead author was appointed ambassador. For this reason, Kadro magazine dissolved itself. In short, they were "socialist-Kemalist".

Those who publish the magazine are called "Kadroists (Kadrocular)."

İbrahim Kaypakkaya heavily critiqued Socialist Kemalism and said that the socialist movement was always opposed to Kemal's bourgeois ways and that he oppressed ethnic minorities. He referred to Socialist Kemalists as "Shafak Revisionists" in his works.

[[File:LibleftKem.png]] Social Democratic Kemalism / Centre-Left Kemalism
The Republican People's Party declared that it was the "Left of Center" (Turkish: Ortanın Solu) since 1965. After this year, Kemalism and social democracy were commemorated together in Turkey. Before 1965, there was no social democracy in the Republican People's Party. Bülent Ecevit and İsmet İnönü are the founders of this ideology.

On July 29, 1965, just before the 1965 general elections, Chairman İsmet İnönü spoke for the first time that the CHP's line was "left of center" during an interview with journalist Abdi İpekçi:

Bülent Ecevit, on the other hand, said:

Ecevit later founded the Democratic Left Party. Here he continued to defend his view with names such as "democratic left".

[[File:ConKemal.png]] Conservative Kemalism / Centre-right Kemalism
It can be assumed that the Democrat Party, which came to power in 1950, established this ideology. Celal Bayar and Adnan Menderes (Self-proclaimed, debatably) are the founders of this ideology. During this period, relations with America and  NATO were at a high level. Anti-communism was more radical than the Atatürk era. Turhan Feyzioğlu, who later opposed the concept of "left of centre", left the Republican People's Party and founded the Republican Reliance Party on the principles of right-Kemalism.

In some forms of conservatism, change is advocated slowly. To give an example, the Republican Reliance Party writes in its program:

A good modern-day example of centre-right Kemalism is the iYi Good Party that advocates a liberal democratic form of national-conservative Kemalism.

[[File:Fashkemal.png]] Fascist Kemalism/Pekerism
With the influence of the rising Fascism in the world in the 1930s, Recep Peker argued that the Republican People's Party should go to a Fascism type organization. Paramilitary units affiliated with the party demanded applications such as strong party anthems and fascist council. His ideas were rejected by Atatürk and he dismissed Peker from the party position, putting him under high surveillance.

[[File:SocKemal.png]] Socialist Kemalism/National Democratic Revolution
The aim of this ideology is to liquidate monarchism and other reactionary elements by first realizing the goals of Kemalism in Turkey. Then, as the continuation of Kemalism, he says that socialism will come. The "Patriotic Party" represents this idea in Turkey.

[[File:EthnonatKemal.png]] Ethnokemalism / Far-right Kemalism
Mehmet Saffet (Arın) Engin, in an article in Ülkü magazine, after stating that a nationalist society attaches importance to solidarity, listed elements such as history, language, ideals and unity of interest as elements of solidarity. He shows an ethnocentric tendency by referring to the superiority of the Turkish ethnicity, by considering the blood factor among the unifying factors, and by including the concept of ethnicity rather than nation in some of his views.

Saffet Engin, who described Atatürk as the Great Genius and hailed him as the creator of the Turkish ethnicity at the beginning of his book in which he analyzed the Kemalist revolution, states in another chapter of a book he wrote that there was very little ethnic mixing in Anatolia. He claims that only 5.5% of dolichocephalic elements are encountered in anthropological researches in Anatolia and that a clean ethnicity type is dominant. Although he states that the concept of nation is not limited to ethnicity, Saffet Engin, who believes that ethnicity superiority is a fact, argues that the dominant ethnicity also gives the nation its character. Approaching the subject from this perspective, Saffet Engin also claims that it has been scientifically proven that the Turkish character cannot be compared with any other nation. As can be seen, Saffet Engin, who does not exclude the concept of ethnicity in the definition of a nation, speaks easily of ethnic superiority. Although this is not an approach that dominates both his own works and the general idea of ​​the period, the presence of these ethnnocentric elements in his various writings differentiates Saffet Engin's stance. However, ethnonationalism was rejected in the 1935 CHP Party Programme. In other words, if he had conveyed these ideas to Atatürk, he would have been rejected.

[[File:MLKemal.png]] Marxist-Leninist Kemalism / Far-left Kemalism
Deniz Gezmiş stated that he was a Marxist-socialist and Kemalist, as a political activist.

The first person to talk about this issue was his close friend Uluç Gürkan. Uluç Gürkan, in an interview with Işık Kansu from Cumhuriyet newspaper, said the following:

Oral Çalışlar, in an article about the communist movements he was involved in, said:

In other words, Deniz Gezmiş called himself "both Kemalist and socialist" in another place.

In addition, Deniz Gezmiş, while being tried in court, said that "if there are people in this country who really support Mustafa Kemal, it is us."

However, this conceptualization is highly controversial among communists, and some argue that Deniz Gezmiş was simply a communist.

Although it is known that Kemalism has such an interpretation, Atatürk was against communism.
