Does capitalism kill, and does communism keep you alive?

Prof. Dr. Ergun Türkcan, one of the renowned figures of Mülkiye, continues his writings. His mind, thank God, is very clear.

I am a close follower of his.

I have known many academics, but I have never known anyone who does this job as properly as Professor Ergun and the network of academics in his close circle.

He is a truly genuine professor of the Republic.

In his latest piece, titled "Capitalism Kills,"

In wars instigated by capitalists, many people and soldiers die on all sides, cities and infrastructures are destroyed, and politicians are wiped out, but capitalists continue their lives even wealthier. This is a new experience for them; with their Darwinistic instincts, they reshape capital and make the system more resilient. This is the instinct of a certain group of people, a historical accumulation; the process is a combination of reason and instinct. Socialism is utopian, a regime of excitement and self-sacrifice; it collapses when hope is lost. If there are capitalists around, they swarm it immediately...

In conclusion, let us summarize: CAPITALISM DOES NOT DIE, IT KILLS.

he concludes.

The economic crisis we have experienced in recent years has also put white-collar Turkish professionals between the ages of 35 and 65 into a dilemma.

Capitalism and Liberalism, whose basic food is "rent" rather than the "hope" that is similar to socialism,  could not prevent the increase of question marks, despite their practices and even the positive results of the industrial revolutions they created.

Professor Daron Acemoğlu also alarmed the capitalists with his book "Which Liberal Democracy?" which touches on this subject, and The Economist magazine immediately targeted him.

It also led us to doubt.

We, who  as a white-collar generation raised as "commie" haters during the Cold War with the green belt theory, have started to lean toward communism, even if we don't fully understand it.

Even if they are currently in a state of confusion, populist municipalities that are not "commie" won the elections.

Capitalism, which reached its peak due to the products it produced and the comfort it created—with smartphones and the robotics revolution—has seen its incredible victories against the poor socialist order become a subject of debate.

It is clear that unlimited freedom and  the high-scoring victories it won against socialism thanks to its production capability have led to complacency.

Ignoring social reflexes, it has pushed the needs of the people it works like donkeys and rides on the backs of beyond basic human rights. 

It has turned them into primitive beings who pay off debt for 30 years for a house made of bricks, sand, and gravel that costs pennies.

Although socialist Russia hit a wall as a technology-poor nation on the plains of its former colony, Ukraine, the debate is growing.

It is clear that those of us who are devoted followers of the established order, who no longer have the means to eat an Ali Nazik kebab at an ordinary neighborhood restaurant, have started to think—even though our evolutionary habit is to follow the directives of the center rather than to think. 

The followers of the Cold War public order—who are circumcised, go to the mosque, do their military service, study ten hours a day, graduate from university properly, get married and have children, and pay their loan installments regularly—even if they could not realize that there was something wrong with this business, which is impossible for them to realize due to a missing or extra chromosome in their evolution, they felt it.

The devoted followers of the order created a deep rift and became impoverished by expressing sentiments similar to the complaint of the Black man carrying the white man's burden in Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs, and Steel" documentary: "Why don't I get cargo, but the white man always does?"—saying things like, "Why can't I even eat a kebab or drink a coffee, while others can buy ten-thousand-lira clothes?"

Due to a lack of money, they flocked to the beaches and restaurants of populist municipalities both in the cities where they live and in holiday resorts.

They could only feed their children at the social facilities of populist municipalities.

Let me not prolong this, lest I get into trouble and lose what I already have.

The once glorious liberal capitalism has clearly crippled us, even if it hasn't killed us.

It has reset our excitement and our self-sacrifice.

Oh Capitalism, if you were going to bring us to this state, why did you create so many inventions, patents, production, and comforts?

And having created them, why did you make us enamored with "communism," which we have been running away from and fearing even the shadow of for years, even if it was served on a silver platter?
