There is no program, just a word salad with plenty of onions!

Where is this program? The program that will soothe the people's pain, open new horizons for them, and establish a new republic?... Where is it?

Could it be that a “left-wing ANAP” that unites the four tendencies will solve our problems?

Fine, the AKP and its allies are primarily responsible for all the rot. Fine, the Kılıçdaroğlu-led CHP, which played at being opposition hand-in-hand with them for years, is the other and complementary party responsible for every distortion. The "Butlancılar" (those who say 'but') are the ruthless militants of the AKP, and so on... Fine.

Since the end of 2002, Turkey has been waiting, its marrow dried out in the grip of a horrific exploitation mechanism. But why is it waiting?

The country has collapsed not only politically but also economically, culturally, and even morally.

There may be those who, with the complacency and stupidity of the ruling power, interject by saying, "What collapse, man?"

Everything is clear: The situation is unfortunately dire, and very dire at that. There is no well-prepared focus in the opposition capable of finding solutions to the problems with mass intensity. We have previously pointed out that a "left-wing ANAP" calculation is being made: Communities that consider saving the day, bickering with the AKP, and "playing at unification" to be politics are wandering around.

INTERVENTION IN THE EXISTING PROPERTY REGIME

Yet, we urgently need a very concrete production campaign, the expansion of the public sector (that is, the state) on a scale that could be called explosive, and a propaganda machine that will inform us of our priorities through a newly established planning office, thereby intervening in social settlement.

This, unfortunately, does not exist. Not yet.

Parliamentary democracy, the judiciary's "return to contemporary legal principles," central bank independence, etc., are not the job. They are not the solution at all. Look, a society of 90 million is writhing in pain. Let's set aside 10 percent of that.

Our concern is not to play devil's advocate: However, the hole is big, the patch is small, and there is no answer to the question of with what resources and through what kind of production-distribution planning we will close this massive gap ("Turkey") that is growing larger. There are few who admit that nothing can be done without touching big capital.

What do we mean?

Again and this: It is clear that grand words like returning to a parliamentary system, cleaning up the judiciary, and making the central bank independent do not and will not bring solutions to any of the daily or future problems of the broad masses of the people. But it is clear that with a memorized "list of democratic rights" and cries of "let's unite," just for the sake of talking, no one's hunger will be satisfied, the housing problem will not be solved, and the collapse in education and health will not be prevented. The care of the elderly, the childcare and education problems of children, hunger... One does not need to be certified by the fortune-telling industry to see that no problem can be solved with these empty repetitions.

Everything is clear.

According to foreign statistics, for example Worldometer, more than 87.9 million people live in this country. Domestic and national statistics are of the "opinion" that our population is over 86 million. Anyway... Many unofficial sources insist that well over 90 million people live in the country.

Fine, but is there anyone discussing with what kind of organization, why, and how we will solve the urgent problems of this large number?

Let's leave the old ones and the ruling parties aside. What about the newly established ones and those who pose as opposition?

THE "UNIFICATIONISTS" SAYING AMEN TO A PRAYER THAT WILL NOT BE ANSWERED

Do they have concrete analyses that can be taken seriously? Or are there meetings, articles, or books where we can witness experts and representatives of the working class discussing individual topics? Can we say that the problems of the hands and minds that create life in Turkey, and the demands arising from these problems, are entering the agenda of society and politics through a correct reflector?

Is it this easy to close our eyes and ears to the facts?

Once again: Returning to a parliamentary system, I don't know, the independence of the central bank, lawlessness, etc... These are of no importance to the people of this country, 90 percent of whom are struggling in severe poverty. People are fighting for survival. National income figures are of no importance. A multi-layered exploitation is on the agenda, and is there anyone who hears or sees any solution proposal originating from the current-reasonable opposition to end this exploitation?

Are you going to solve the urgent problems of the people of Turkey with parliamentary arithmetic? Which sectors, especially food, drink, housing, health, education, and transportation, are you planning to address, when, and how? Most importantly: How will you use every penny to soothe the pain of our people without making anyone rich? Where will you obtain those resources?

Or are you going to follow the path of the AKP?

Which of you can say that the resources in question are accumulated in the hands of exploitative Turkish-Kurdish rich people and that it is absolutely necessary to seize that accumulation? You think playing at identity politics is a job...

Is politics evaluating the demands coming from society and making an offer for those demands, or is it something else?

Socialist politics enters the agenda here.

With a few exceptions, it is the only thing not in this market...

Does socialist politics not mean identifying the real needs of society, knowing that these needs will not turn into a demand thanks to the culture industry, which is called "mass persuasion weapons," and primarily creating the support of the working classes to meet these needs? It is to create a resource for the people by trimming the wealth of the rich. It is not to shy away from overturning the property regime.

It may not be seen in this marketplace, but such a program exists, and Turkey's socialists are a community with enough wisdom and courage to prepare and implement those unseen salvation programs during such periods of destruction. Although, these days, a significant portion of them think that lining up behind some unlikely people by saying "let's unite" and saying amen to prayers that will not be answered is politics, but so be it...

There is such stubbornness and accumulation. Outside of this scene, but inside Turkey...
