Kemalism

Kemalism, also called Ataturkismball, is a left-wing, nationalist, secular and culturally rather progressive ideology inhabiting a moderate position in the authoritarian left quadrant and is the ideology of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. It essentially advocates for a progressive, nationalist social democracy and can be seen as a more moderate version of Left-Wing Nationalism, especially on the economic axis.

The six spears of Kemalism represent Republicanism, Populism, Nationalism, Laicism (exclusion of ecclesiastical control and influence), Statism and Reformism. The flag was added to the Turkish constitution with it being hoisted on all official buildings.

History
Kemalism is the ideology of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and the founding ideology of the Republic of Turkey. The ideology was designed to help modernise 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. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent establishment of the Republic of Trukey in 1923, Attatürk implemented these ideas as well as bringing about more economically left reforms to the nation which the nation had never experienced before.
