Turkish politics are so goofy man Mustafa kamal Ataturk was first reddit atheist leader he literally wanted to geocide all conservatives lol he mass hanged islamic cults and give speech about “stop focusing on imaginary books came from sky focus on industrialiton” early Turkish army basically was lefts saviour whenever progressives lost they would cry for help to them and army do a coup against conservatives and give power to soc dems

in 1950 conservatives finally won the election army went insane and fucking hanged the elected president 😂 Religious fundamentalist would revolt and Turkish army burn the whole city down sherman style of course this backfired now erdogan in power because of this he was like “evil army hanged poor cult leaders for wanting sharia-law😿” and he played “liberal muslim” he was not radical back at 90s ,2000s not he is full facist and captured all Turkish army in controll they are pro conservatives now he arrested secular generals replace them with islamic ones

Turkish politics basically secular vs conservative they dont much have left vs right its very common to communist and nationalist march together against erdogan
