The alienation of political parties

The alienation of political parties, their failure to perform their functions, their transformation into structures that transfer resources to ruling classes, and the capture of party management by interest groups constitute the most destructive and polluting problem for both our country and the world.

Political parties have become alienated and corrupted.

For a very long time, political party conventions have not been based on politics or solutions to address problems. Political party conventions consist solely of fights over seat distribution, power, and the sharing of interests. The public and our people need to know this reality. Otherwise, we cannot escape the captivity of political alienation.

Today, mayoral candidates are busy disparaging one another rather than focusing on elections or solutions. 

It is impossible to analyze today's politics without understanding political alienation. To grasp the nature and structure of political forces and to understand what and whom they serve, parties must be evaluated through the lens of political alienation.

So, what is political alienation?

Alienation is a distancing. It is the individual's detachment from reality. It is a break from the truth. It is differentiation. It is change. It is the denial of one's essence. It is ignoring and disregarding certain realities.

It is the state in which an individual, by falling under the yoke and dominance of the objects they have produced and the products of their own labor, becomes alienated from their own problems, their environment, and everything that is social and human.

The emergence of the products of labor as an independent and overwhelming economic force. Alienation is the distancing of individuals from one another, or from the environment or time in which they exist. 

We can list the elements that constitute and create alienation as follows.

1-The alienation of man from man.

2-The alienation of man from society.

3-The alienation of man from his environment.

4-The alienation of man from nature. 

Marx speaks of two types of alienation in his works.

The first of these is alienation in the sense of a rupture from nature. Man becomes alienated from nature in the sense of breaking away from it to establish a second nature for himself in the cultural-social sphere. This is the alienation that is welcomed as positive due to its quality of explaining human development, and it is understood as a necessary process. The second alienation, however, is the alienation created by the capitalist market and the capitalist social system itself. As a result of this, man becomes alienated from his own nature. Thus, man becomes alienated from himself, his own labor, his relationships, the world, and life. He becomes one of the cogs operating as an element of the capitalist market. As can be understood, the theory of alienation is at the core of Marx's... It is closely related to the understanding of human nature. 

In Marx's  works, alienation (Ger.: Entfremdung) is the separation of things that naturally belong together. It is the separation and struggle of the elements that form a unity. It is the conflict that arises between two processes, structures, or organisms that are in a balanced harmony, defined by the fact that the results of their actions are completely opposed to one another. 

Alienation is a concept Marx inherited from Hegel and Feuerbach. Marx placed the theory of alienation at the center of all his economic writings, including Capital.

If one looks at the dictionary definition of the word alienation, it will be seen that it has a range of meanings and usages. The most common of these definitions, both in everyday language and within the social sciences, describes alienation as a subjective "state of isolation and detachment." In Hegel and other philosophers, alienation had a more general meaning describing the condition of all humanity. The fact that people are "spiritually lost," "alienated from their true selves," and "have lost the meaning of life" exemplifies this usage. When we go back to the Middle Ages, we encounter another usage of this concept. At that time, it had meanings such as "to sell," "to transfer to another," or "to surrender to someone else."

For Marx, the basis of alienation lies in the products that people create through their labor  and the relationships they establish through their own labor. 

The alienation of workers from the products of their own labor—that is, being severed from them and not managing the production process themselves—is such a simple and "obvious" situation that it is not even considered necessary to comment on it. This given state of affairs is perceived almost like a law of nature. Workers at Ford or Hyundai produce automobiles, and these automobiles belong not to the workers, but to these companies. The coal they extract from coal mines belongs to the mine owner, and the fabric they weave belongs to the textile factory owner. This is the "law of nature." Marx did not just notice this situation; he questioned its origins and consequences. He states:

This situation [alienation] simply means that the object produced by labor, that is, the product of labor itself, stands against labor as an alien entity. The object appears as a power independent of the producer.

For instance, economic democracy is not mentioned in the program of any political party. Today, labor law is entirely adjusted to suit capital. Labor lawsuits that drag on for months or years both stigmatize workers, leave them unemployed, and usurp their rights.

Sadly, trade unions are also not effective enough.

The products of their own labor dominate the workers.

Labor certainly creates wonders for the rich, but it produces deprivation for the worker. It produces palaces for the rich and slums for the workers.

Because political parties have become alienated from society, nature, and humanity, they do not care much about these problems. Their primary goal is to deceive the public to secure votes and then enjoy themselves.

With this political party system, problems in Turkey will not be solved.

They will only get worse. 

Because there is no science or expertise in politics. 

Regrettably, the media and politics have been occupied by  a group of sophists. 

Scientific politics,  is to understand the truth through scientific methods and to create a political program based on this foundation.

WE CAN ESCAPE THIS QUAGMIRE THROUGH SCIENTIFIC POLITICS.

THIS IS THE SOLUTION. 

THIS IS THE PATH.
